winning ugly

an ugly win counts the same in the standings as any other win. that’s a good thing for the ohio state buckeyes. their offense was totally non-existent in the first half, and troy smith might not want to send the tape of this game to those heisman voters. side note: I just don’t get this heisman hype surrounding troy smith. he’s better than I thought he was, no doubt about that — but I just can’t see him winning the heisman.

ohio state is known for all of its scary offensive players, but it was their defense that showed up in a big way late in the game. that’s always been a characteristic of national championship-caliber type teams — winning games with defense.

they have now beaten texas and 2005 co-big ten champ penn state. that’s a great start. look at their schedule and then try to explain why they don’t deserve to be ranked #1.

good luck with that explanation.

  1. Did you watch the game annapolisbuckeye? I don’t know how else to describe that game. I don’t consider myself on the bozo level quite yet…those guys get paid for their opinions. 🙂

    I am a true Buckeye fan, just like you are. But I don’t see how any outsider looking at the Penn State game would be as impressed with the Buckeyes as we are.

  2. I think that they redeemed themselves this week. I just wish that Michigan would lose before they get to Ohio State. It would suck if Michigan kept winning.
