Buckeyes must regroup for Big Ten run
Cleaning up some loose ends from Saturday night’s not-so special performance by THE Ohio State Buckeyes:
— My first question after the game: When was the last time the Buckeyes were held without a touchdown? The answer: Nov. 23,1996, in a 13-9 loss to Michigan. The TD streak was snapped at 141 games.
— I’ve never seen Jim Tressel visibly upset and rattled. He was both in the first half as USC all but delivered a technical knockout by halftime. And Tressel’s speed isn’t what it used to be. I mean, how do you get run down from behind by Erin Andrews? That was one uncomfortable halftime interview.
— The Buckeyes can forget about a national championship after being hammered 35-3. Heck, winning the Big Ten will be a supreme challenge. Suddenly, road games against Wisconsin (Oct. 4), Michigan State (Oct. 18) and Illinois (Nov. 15) look tough, as does a home date against Penn State (Oct. 25).
— Terrelle Pryor? Why not? He’s not Joe Montana, but he can avoid the rush. Todd Boeckman never had a chance.
— “Buckeye Football Weekly with Jim Tressel” airs tonight at 6 on the Big Ten Network. If you have power by then, that might be worth checking out.
