Cavaliers Preview Game #6
November 7, 2008Cavaliers Preview Game #7
November 8, 2008Time: 12:00 PM EST
TV/Radio: ESPN2/WKNR 850 AM
Weather: 38 degrees (wind chill of 27), Rain/snow mix, Winds 18 MPH (WSW)
Line: Ohio State (-11)
Somehow, I feel that if Ohio State was still in the National Championship hunt, the suspension of wide receiver/return man Ray Small would have been a bigger topic of discussion. Between Small’s father spouting off, and the possibility of Small never seeing the field again, I’m not sure what has kept this one under the rug of the collective fan. Regardless of the off-field controversy, Jim Tressel leads his team into Michael Wilbon’s Alma Mater.

Big Ten: Hoping For More Breaks
As laid out in the last post, the only thing the Buckeyes can do at this point is win out and hope for the best. As of now, we should be looking at a BCS birth. However, if the anti-rematch proponent rears it’s ugly head, Outback/Capitol One bowl it is!
This one’s looking to be a little wet and cold – perfect for a running attack, but brutal if we find ourselves in passing situations.
Georgia Tech/UNC, Bama/LSU and USC/Cal are all solid games. Obviously, the bout of the week will be Oklahoma State and the #2 ranked school in the country, Texas Tech. As always, feel free to drop some science in the comments. Besides, with today’s weather, what else is there to do besides watch college football? Go Bucks.

The buckeye’s can do playaction every play and it would work. Nobody respects pryor throwing the ball and evidence was that 46 yard bomb.
If the line blocks like this next week, we’re dead…
Yes sir. If we play call like we did in the 2nd quarter we will do pretty good. Every team just sends every defender they have so it makes no sense not to do playaction till they respect the pass. Pass blocking is good but run blocking terrible
Lots of ridiculously bad penalties on the seniors.
Nice to see the offense clicking decently well, but the O-line is terrible.
So is the D-line.
If Northwestern’s QB could run on the D like that, imagine what Juice and Benn will do.
Was at the game today. Cold as hell, but it was nice to see an offensive show.
Big ups to the dude on the train this morning who was absolutely trashed by 9:30.
Nah they qb only averaged like 3.5 yards a carry. It was two runs he had that was big but the rest was worthless. Thats why they got smoked cuz they couldn’t pass. I never seen a team just run they quarterback with draws like that when they quarterback ain’t a great runner. I was also glad as hell we ran the score up on them.
I couldn’t believe tressels face after we scored with a minute to go. how stupid? he’s such a b*tch. running the ball with our 3rd string in and scoring isn’t running up the score. he actually got upset that we scored!!! what a girl.
Tressel is a bitch for being upset about that score? Really?
Obviously he could have taken a knee if he really didn’t want to score. However, he didn’t expect Boom to run that for a TD either.
I felt bad about the score – not a typical Tressel call, no need to embarrass Northwestern.
Everyone start cheering for Sparty now – if they beat PSU and the Buckeyes win out, BCS here we come. I think we want that, right??
Good chance that USC will end up in the championship game – if that’s the case we could be in the Rose for sure.
This Penn State loss realllly screws things up…
Sigh.
Usc ain’t going to championship game unless something remarkable happens so they’ll probably go lol. We gotta hope penn loses next week and then beats michigan state to win the big ten. I was very happy penn state loss btw. You should see their fans talking trash bout pryor and our team. Bet they ain’t having a party tonight ha ha 🙂
Keep Nate Williams on the field
Yea never heard of kid but got two sacks in a row. I wanted somebody to turn that quarterback lights out so bad. Pryor had a great game too. Oh yea ain’t it funny that when we score late in the game its running the score up….but when sec teams and usc do it they call it style points? Having no mercy is what i like.
What the hell was with the fake punt? That was just plain disrespectful towards Northwestern.
OSU’s team is full of thugs, as evidenced by the 5 personal fouls!
