It appears that the offensive line let them down but the team is trying to stay together as a team for now but you know the Buckeyes will fight to break the psyche of what sounds like a Fragile team .
The underlined are links. Edit.

I am now on my wireless laptop due to Frances so I am not going to copy and paste the whole thing but go look at the boxscore from the Troy/MU game and you will be shocked.
IIRC:
-MU had 84 total rushing yards(not net yds) on 34 carries and gave up 8 sacks.
-Troy had more penalties and TO's than MU and still won. This illustrates my point about it not being a flukey win-Troy just physically whipped MU.
-KO returns were terrible for MU, something like 45 yds on 3 returns and their returner kept trying to bring it from 2-3 yds deep in the endzone.
All in all from seeing the boxscore and the first half of the game, unless MU gets a talent transplant by Saturday they are in a lot of trouble. They showed absolutely nothing that should cause concern for OSU fans.
This game should just be looked at as another good warm up/test for the young guys to get better and prepare for NCSU.

This is all just a part of Pruett's master plan to hustle the Bucks. He knows that Tressel sent Arden down just to take out his best players and now he is making their team look terrible. OSU is going to play right into Marshall's hands as Pruett is making us think they are bad, when they are really great. You know they would run the B10 if they were in it. Genius I tell you, genius! |

Final Score
I ran a couple simulations of this game on NCAA 2005 and I got an average score of 41 to 20 with OSU winning. I think the points spread of 21 is about right but the computer doesn't play much defense so i think its more like 31 to 10 OSU. I just dont see JT running up the score. |

vegas point spread
Sep. 11 Marshall
12:30 a.m. at Ohio State
Favorite OHST OHST
Point spread -16 -16
It's the early line so things can change. I think the spread will depend on if Branden Joe is healthy. It will be nice if Frost is also healthy.

Interesting thing is that Marshall lost to Troy State last year also, and that game wasn't as close. I guess that tells you at what level their program is.
Listen up, Herd fans -- you are going to get rolled like a drunk in an alleyway. Also, Stan Hill might want to place a call to former Wisky QB Brooks Bollinger and ask him about some photo he autographed once...
Put me down for 40-3, and I'm being generous with that 3, and conservative with the 40. A 16 point line on this is candy from a baby.
