I think SOME people might be getting carried away with our offense though. Lets be honest, we have the ABILITY and the PLAYERS to have the best offense in the nation. But lets not forget who's calling the shots, Jim Tressel(this is NOT a knock). In the mid 90's we would score and score and score some more without hesitation. However, under Tressel its been very clear that he is more comfortable sitting on a good lead than taking his chances at making huge mistakes and letting a team back into the game.
We will probably have one of the top offenses in the nation for sure, but I dont think the stats/scores will tell that tail.

Good call Magua...
Though by SOME people, I think we have to be talking about talking heads, and not Buckeye fans on this site. Those here know that our offense was better last year than we showed against most of the teams on the latter half of our schedule.
But when Tressel thinks the other team is going to score, like at Minnesota or Notre Dame, our offense puts up numbers.
We could have laid 100 on Illinois or Northwestern if we'd been so inclined.
Bear in mind also that Tressel milks the clock on every possession of the game. This holds down our number of plays and, over the course of a season, our number of possessions.
