This game was a lot like the second game of last year, although I never felt like the Buckeyes were in danger of losing to Akron. Do I think a different Buckeyes team will show up Saturday? Yes. Tress can get his team up for big games. They are going to need a Willis Reed effort from Beanie, because they sure won't get that from Mo Wells.Gone with the Schwindhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17168265765161313858noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7058428312673204233.post-90174001778886565592008-09-08T11:39:00.000-07:002008-09-08T11:39:00.000-07:00Grab a Phil Steele and look at every major program...Grab a Phil Steele and look at every major program in any year over the last 5 years - every team lays a stinker or a mediocre performance throughout the year - For example, Alabama, after a pounding of Clemson and a SI cover, beats hurricane ravaged Tulane 20-6 at home with about 200 yards of offense and 2 special teams TD's and no one says a word but when OSU does it, the sky is falling and we are overrated and USC is going to smoke us. 2-0 is 2-0 - I think we will give all USC can handle Saturday night - Beanie will put a Willis Reed type effort out there...Sean Filmorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01709833353504370780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7058428312673204233.post-59829298228020388732008-09-07T06:46:00.000-07:002008-09-07T06:46:00.000-07:00Agreed.

I agree with showing USC only minimal formations. It was the minimal effort that I found appalling.Gone with the Schwindhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17168265765161313858noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7058428312673204233.post-40208084181989323872008-09-06T20:55:00.000-07:002008-09-06T20:55:00.000-07:00Another good write up.

OU had 2 penalites for 9 yards. Can't remember the last time I saw a game with only 14 yards in penalties. Pretty impressive discipline for a 2nd game of the season for both teams.<BR/> The big highlight was showing USC nothing and leading them to be an overconfident team. With a bye week they all got to watch the game and were licking their chops. The Real Buckeyes will show up next Saturday and USC will wonder what hit them!!<BR/> Additional stats on my web site at link:<BR/>http://www.slagshouseofstats.com/OhioStateClarett/osu2008.html<BR/><BR/>Nelson Slagleneslaglehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11839148623371380082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7058428312673204233.post-66177634443865512082008-09-06T19:08:00.000-07:002008-09-06T19:08:00.000-07:00I have never seen a flatter Ohio State performance...I have never seen a flatter Ohio State performance than that one.
