Have the
STATE BUCKEYES been tested? I personally say no they have not been tested. Don't get me wrong, the BUCKEYES have dominated in the games that they have played. As far as I am concerned the offense and defense have yet to be tested.
Sure Garret Wolfe ran out of his jock against the defense, but that was not a test more like a quiz to me. Oh yeah, #2 texas defending national champs in austin was a complete joke (they were not truly deserving of the #2 ranking), they need vince young bad. The bearcats did slap us around a bit, but in the end
responded and it turned out only to be a pop quiz.
I feel
will be tested in conference play only. Only when the defense comes up against an offense that has a top/mobile QB (that can run and pass) a quality proven RB and WR's to match will we see what our beloved defense is all about. The same goes for the offense who have yet to see a defense that can put presure on a QB consistantly and lock down the WR's that we have, and stifle the run game.
I look for the Penn State game to be a test (some what, I mean they did loose to ND). After the win against Penn State I look for the Hawkeyes to be another test followed by Michigan State and last but not least Michigan.
Until conference play we have just seen a glimpse of what our team is or is not.
