The Buckeyes rolling now.<\/p>\n

And it’s a good thing since there is a better than good chance they won’t win the B1G. At this point, its all about points. Style points. Scoreboard points. Any and all of them.<\/p>\n

OSU looked great and we saw a lot of backups get some minutes.<\/p>\n

But are we happy with everything we watched?<\/p>\n

Scott<\/strong><\/p>\n

A convincing win:<\/strong> I wanted 70. We came close.<\/p>\n

A shutout:<\/strong> Almost. One sloppy defensive drive was it.<\/p>\n

Health:<\/strong> No major injuries.<\/p>\n

Let them play:<\/strong> The backups got some quality minutes. That’s important.<\/p>\n

WVa<\/strong><\/p>\n

Rest the wounded:<\/strong> Urban Meyer got what he needed from the starters and cleared the bench. If Thad Matta could do that now and again, it would be nice.<\/p>\n

Keep the momentum:<\/strong> OSU never lost the Big Mo. Just a couple of empty drives with the regulars. Not bad. They should have tons of confidence moving into games against that state up north.<\/p>\n

Silver Bullet statement (again):<\/strong> It was pretty ugly if you’re a Maryland fan. Defense was solid. Other than the field goal drive, Maryland didn’t get much of anything.<\/p>\n

Mike M.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Tempo:<\/strong> Offense like we thought it would and should. We saw the reverse, read option, deep balls, stretch plays and swing passes. A Buckeye Buffet.<\/p>\n

Build on last weekend:<\/strong> Lots to be happy about. Lots went right last week and this week. You can tell the Buckeyes are firing now.<\/p>\n

Beat Michigan:<\/strong> Not only did Iowa, but OSU beat Maryland worse than TTUN did, I believe. That’s good, right?<\/p>\n

Brad<\/strong><\/p>\n

Continued offensive improvement:<\/strong> This offense has done a 180 the last few weeks. Not sure what changed, but I don’t care. Keep it going.<\/p>\n

Ryan<\/strong><\/p>\n

Keep the foot on the gas pedal:<\/strong> Yup. OSU bolted to a quick lead and never let up. Probably could have scored 100 if the starters stayed in.<\/p>\n

More playing time for the younger players: <\/strong>By the fourth quarter even Meyer didn’t know half the guys in the game. LOL.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
