O-line played great-holes for the running game, and Smith had tons of time. The only screwup in blocking came on Wells' fumble-our own guys clogged the hole and he ran right up their backs.
Hopefully everyone is correct in their analysis of the D-I thought the LBers could have done a better job of shedding their blocks.

I was in 6 C, not bad seats (also Sears, my old man thanks you for the tickets). I did notice, and I think it has been mentioned elsewhere, that NIU cut blocks quite a bit. It seemed to give the lb's some problems.
I think I counted a total of 5 blitzes, all of which came on 3rd down, none of which came after the 2nd quarter.

I was in 8C row 33. |

Absolutely. We have all certainly been spoiled by the play of our linebackers over the years but there is plenty of room for improvement this week. |

Great observations as usual, Oh8ch!
One thing that stood out for me that I haven't seen mentioned was Robiskie's hands! I thought he made a few great catches on balls that weren't exactly 'on the money'.
Man, it's a good time to be a Buckeye.

...and with a guaranteed hit coming.
No fear.

The performance of Robiske and Hartline will be a good prod for Roy Hall to pick his game up. Roy has talent but he was to comfortable being a back-up. He needs to make the most of his opportunities or Hartline and Robiske will get te most of the PT.

OK, I'm fairly new to this site, but like all the posters above, I really enjoyed reading this, and really appreciated the logical/rational thought behind it. Does this post come each week?
Wow I'm looking forward to this week...finally get to really take the gloves off and see what we can do on both sides of the ball. I'm also grateful for the challenge that Wolfe presented last week, it gives the players and coaching plenty of learning opportunities. There'll be no complacency this week...that's fur shur.

and the fact ive heard the nickname 7 11 from half a dozen people all thinking they had an original comment. he seems to always be open, if not open hes created enough space in the throwing lane with his body to allow troy to deliver the ball to him
