I was standing 7 rows up from that yesterday. My first Buckeye game ever and I soaked it all in.:oh::io:. Thanks for replaying it.

Arrived in Cleveland Friday from Buffalo. As we walked over to the R&R HOF that afternoon, we saw the entire team exiting about 3pm that afternoon. Partied all night with Buckeye fans.

Was drinking bloody marys at 0930 the next morning at the Buckeye block party on E6th St. while the OSU band played on stage. ( I'm sure some of you were there. The block was packed ! ) What a tremendous time I had. It was better than I could have imagined.

The only negative was the one 'know it all' short fuse sitting behind me in row 8 who kept complaining about Pryor the ENTIRE game. After the long INT, he was screaming that Pryor should be sent to the bus immediately and be replaced. LOL.

A great day and proud to be a Buckeye fan. I envy you in Columbus.

Glad to hear you had a great time. Nothing better than being at a Buckeye game on a fall Saturday. I just love to be a part of it all. I can't stand people like the guy you described. I had two of them behind me at the USC game. I almost told them to shut the fuck up and enjoy the game, but I instead decided to debate them and force them to think about what they were saying.

How can you call the Toledo game a road game with a straight face? (Of course, I can't see your face ...)

LOL it was not with a straight face haha... but seriously it is very disheartening that we have to deal with winning a game by 38 points (almost double what the spread was) and still drop 2 spots... i mean that is plain ridiculous no matter who we played.

How in the hell do we not move up in the rankings after routing a team and USC manages to still be ahead of us after losing to an unranked team who my have improved since last year but will end up being a middle of the road PAC-10 team? That's pretty messed up...

The pollsters think that since we barely lost to a USC team that everyone thought was good then USC went ahead and lost to Washington who was a huge underdog that OHIO STATE must not be any good if we get beat by a team that loses to a unranked team the next week. Pretty messed up, it should be ranked according that weeks play not assupmtions. We could for sure beat a couple of teams ahead of us but since they have better records against easier teams they get the better ranking.

USC will be the marker as to where Ohio State is for the rest of the season. Unless USC manages to drop another game the pollsters will NEVER put Ohio State above USC (even if USC's games are all close and Ohio State's are all blow outs) because USC won head to head and the Big 10 is just putrid.

It looks like Ohio State's next big game will be in Happy valley. If Penn State continues to win then there will be some opportunity for national redemption.

Jeff Amey's breakdown of the Toledo game. Its worth noting that Pryor's 372 yards of offense was the 5th highest total ever for a Buckeye QB.

Few things scream out.

We need more deep action while in the two back set.

I like the balance from the shotgun, but Boom isn't much of an East-West back - and while Saine has shown the flashes and continues his steady rise, I think seeing Hall with some meaningful PT (provided he also gets the scheme and blocking assignments down) would really be beneficial for him and the team. He makes cuts on a dime and has fantastic lateral speed.


Power plays are a bit weak - and Boom doesn't have that elusivness that makes him a dangerous stretch runner (though he's had his moments)
Thank god we have a few options to carry the rock.

I'm praying that these guys (well, everyone) stay's healthy.
