He caught the ball. That image has been replayed many times. I'd rather not see that again for any of our guys, but it's got to be something on their minds in situations like that. Does a QB see that potential and try not to throw it? And will a good receiver try to make the catch and not worry about the consequences?
So that we remember why we're thumping them 56 to 0 ... "the clock is stopped"

An article on the comeback win at Minny in '89. The 31-point record comeback for 1-A stood until Sparty came back from 38-3 against NW'ern last year, but if you read BP's game preview on the home page, you already knew that. 
One other tidbit - the '84 Maryland comeback was led by QB Frank Reich, who also engineered the NFL record 32-point comeback for Buffalo in the playoffs against Houston.

Football Flashback: Buckeyes Tie NCAA Record in Comeback Win at Minnesota in 1989
Ohio State trailed Minnesota, 31-0, but staged an incredible comeback and defeated the Gophers 41-37, tying the record for the largest deficit overcome by a Division I-A team.
October 29, 1989 (AP) - Even the Ohio State Buckeyes knew they had no business becoming only the second team ever to win after trailing by 31 points.
``Things like this, they can't happen,'' said Jeff Graham, who caught Greg Frey's 15-yard touchdown pass with 51 seconds to play as the Buckeyes beat Minnesota 41-37.
``People call it luck. People call it a miracle,'' Graham said. ``That's OK. I believe in luck and miracles.''
Said Minnesota's Eddie Miles: ``When you're up 31-0, you think there's no way possible they could come back. No way. No way.''
Only on Nov. 10, 1984 -- when Maryland rallied from a 31-0 deficit to beat Miami of Florida 42-40 -- had an NCAA Division I-A team ever finished such a comeback.

Ohio State not overlooking Minnesota's weak defense
By Doug Harris
Staff Writer
Thursday, September 27, 2007
COLUMBUS ? First-year University of Minnesota football coach Tim Brewster is convinced he still can field a competitive defense this year, but he knows the process would go much faster if he could raid Ohio State's roster.
Perched at the top of Brewster's wish list is All-American linebacker James Laurinaitis, the Buckeyes' lone Minnesota-bred player.

OSU hasn?t faced a defensive challenge yet in 2007
Thursday, September 27, 2007
By Todd Porter
REPOSITORY SPORTS WRITER
COLUMBUS Schoolyard bullies against lesser opponents, Ohio State?s offense has yet to be tested against someone capable of fighting back. That might be the reason why Jim Tressel is restrained in his praise of the Buckeyes? surprisingly prolific offense.
On Saturday night at the Metrodome, OSU isn?t getting Washington, Northwestern or Akron?s little brother.
Maybe their little sister.

Morning Journal
Take a chance, Buckeyes dare you
JASON LLOYD, Morning Journal Writer
09/27/2007
COLUMBUS -- Apparently opponents haven't updated the scouting report on Ohio State's offense. Through the first four games, defenses continue to expose themselves to the deep ball, and Todd Boeckman continues to hit it.
Boeckman and Brian Robiskie have hooked up for six plays of at least 25 yards this year, including at least one in every game. The longest was the 68-yard touchdown pass at Washington, but there have been plenty of others -- receptions of 41 and 28 yards against Youngstown State, a 39-yard touchdown against Akron and touchdown catches of 42 and 28 yards against Northwestern.
