That was Hyde's inpersonation of Barry Sanders. What a play.. what a drive with two highlight film plays in it!

So just WHERE are those clips. I've been looking back through the pages and found the Roby hit (total BS that), but can't find the Hyde 13 Bash TD. Was unable to watch the game over here due to my wife's terrible timing on being born during FB season. The party was a blast though.

Ohio State has an elite offense and a very good FG kicker and punter. Brax is Brax again, and Hyde gave me a huge thrill with his last TD run. That was incredible. But the D is ridiculously bad - and it's time we admit it - not from a player/talent perspective, but a scheme/coaching perspective. Iowa threw a 3 TE formation at them, and in the first half a naked bootleg or play action fake with a TE in the flat resulted in a TE WIDE OPEN every time. They finally forced Iowa to punt with 40 sec left in the first half. They made adjustments. I'm just wondering why it took 29:20 to make them. You have to cover or pressure. If you can't do either, you are in a world of hurt.

We assume that we are going to be undefeated going to Ann Arbor, but what is that based on? Does anyone really think that Hackenburg/BOB isn't capable of carving up this Ohio State D? What about Indiana or even Illinois? This has to get fixed and it has to get fixed yesterday. What would Mariota, Winston, Manziel, McCarron, et.al. do to this defense? Those teams also can run the ball.

The Buckeyes are a very good team, but they can't be an elite team without a reliable defense. They don't even have to be great. If they can hold opponents under 20 ppg, I like their chances to be 14-0. But they are giving up 24 or 30+ against teams that aren't the quality of what they would face in a BCS game. Time for Urban to earn his salary.
