Big 33 Game 2004

I wanted them to just loop it up to him the whole game. But that's unrealistic. Very impressed with his hands. He only had one drop and he jumped about 8 feet in the air to catch it with his body, only he jumped a little too high for that, and bobbled it as he got slammed to the turf

Lyons had caught a nice deep ball, and Nicol looked pretty solid. Skinner and Mitchum had me worried there for a while as it looked like Henne could barely get a second to pass.

I kind of felt like Ohio (ginn) cheated by blocking and attempting to block PATs. It seemed, at first, that blocking kicks was going to be out of bounds and I think that's what triggered the 3rd quarter animosity. Ginn seems like such a competitor and that he's going to get any edge that he can on the field. He really just runs right by people even when they have the angle. Its pretty unbelievable.

game summary

Ginn as good as advertised

nice quote from Lyons in above article

"He is quick, just like [Breaston]," Lyons said. "Most of the time on the football field, I'm the fastest guy out there, but when Ted's on the field, I don't know. I don't like to say it, but, yeah, he's probably a little faster than me."

game summary

AQ Shipley on Ted Ginn-

"Ginn's speed obviously hurt us," Shipley said. "He's a hell of a player. You have to give him that, but heck, I thought we had the game and then they came from behind and made a few plays."

OH MY GOD this game was great. the best part was when TG2 shut up the idiot drunk penn state fan sitting in front of me. he is the epiome of idiot penn state fans and all i've known growing up....so thats why i hate penn state fans so much.

after the game i went down on the field and took some pictures of erik haw, devon lyons, teddy ginn. i was standing next to somebody in street clothes when all of a sudden somebody comes up behind him and says "i know who you are, can i have an autograph?" sure enough it was jemario o'neal. i was standing right next to teddy and jemario. what a great experience. i think im going every year now.

i thought mitchum looked like a beast on run plays. he would pancake somebody then run down field looking for somebody else to hit. he just looked hungry. i dont know of 1 OSU bound player that had a bad game. morelli was picking on sirjo a bit....but that was more of a nod in lyons favor....he played great.

anybody know how brandon underwood is doing? he went down on the last defensive play of the game and took a while to get up.

BN27 would you mind posting some of the pics you took of the future Bucks with the rest of us? I fully understand if you can't though.

ill give it a try. they were taken with a disposable camera(havent ever had the need for a fancy digital camera but if i plan on going to more buckeye games and things like that i should look in to it). once i get them developed i will scan them and see how they look. then i will post. i only got 1 shot of actual game action, and it was the TD by Haw that was called back. happened right in front of me. it was great.....till they threw the flag.

I saw this over at BN. It's actually pretty comical.

Not far into the second half, Ohio's Justin Kershaw recovered a blocked extra point. Pennsylvania quarterback Chad Henne tracked him down deep in Pennsylvania territory. Henne was forearmed in the back and both benches emptied.
