Defense picks off Iowa?s Tate three times

Sunday, October 01, 2006

Tim May
THE COLUMBUS DISPATCH




IOWA CITY, Iowa ? The Ohio State defense?s motto going into last night?s Big Ten showdown with Iowa was straightforward: Neutralize Drew Tate, win the game.
The No. 1 Buckeyes did just that when it mattered most in the first three quarters of their 38-17 victory over the No. 13 Hawkeyes. With defensive end Vernon Gholston and his friends up front applying pressure early, safety Brandon Mitchell lowered the boom.
His running interception on the first play of the second quarter, which he returned to the Iowa 30-yard line, set up Ohio State?s second touchdown as the Buckeyes took a 14-3 lead. It was their Big Ten-leading ninth interception.
They?d get two more in the fourth quarter ? by linebackers Marcus Freeman and James Laurinaitis ? to leave with 11 for the season. They?ve had three in each of the past three games.
But it was Mitchell?s pick that the set the tone for a defense that had replaced nine starters since last season. Against the veteran Tate last night, the Buckeyes had to replace another when free safety Anderson Russell went out because of a season-ending knee injury while covering the kickoff after Ohio State?s first score.
Jamario O?Neal took Russell?s place, but Russell was not forgotten, Mitchell said.
"It meant a lot for me to get that interception because, to start with, I had dropped one earlier," he said. "And Anderson Russell got hurt and I told him, ?I?m going to get one for you.? "
Russell and Mitchell are from Georgia, and Mitchell sees himself as Russell?s mentor.
"It really hurt me to see him go down, and I knew I wanted to go out and make a play, and dedicate this game to him," Mitchell said.
The defense made it a game to remember. Behind a stout defensive front, marauding linebacker Laurinaitis, O?Neal and others provided timely blitzes, frustrating Tate and the Hawkeyes when it mattered most
In Ohio State?s last trip to Kinnick Stadium, Tate had run and passed the Buckeyes silly in a 33-7 Iowa victory. Through the first three quarters last night, Tate was only 9 of 25 passing, and Ohio State had a 31-10 lead.
He bounced back to direct a 12-play, 86-yard touchdown drive at the start of the fourth quarter, hitting Andy Brodell on a 4-yard touchdown pass on fourth down with 13:08 to play.
Just when it looked as though Tate was going to do it again, Ohio State?s Antonio Smith stripped receiver Scott Chandler after a catch and Mitchell recovered the fumble with 8:55 left.
That was four turnovers forced by the defense. Gholston and his mates weren?t satisfied.
The touchdown they allowed in the second quarter was the first they had relinquished since the first quarter of the win over Cincinnati two games earlier, and the first all season by the run. Then came that fourthquarter scoring drive by Iowa.
"I think most of all we proved there?s things we need to work on," Gholston said. "We?re not even halfway through the season. There?s going to be tougher challenges ahead."

I think perhaps that the refs did not earn their pay last night.
...or maybe Iowa is just the most disciplined team ever.

Who can stop them?
Buckeyes bolster their No. 1 image

IOWA CITY, Iowa ? Even though it was Ohio State that dressed in pink locker rooms, it was Iowa that left Kinnick Stadium last night red with embarrassment.
Thousands of crazed Hawkeyes fans swarmed to the game that was billed as a benchmark for the program. Iowa was hopeful that by beating the No. 1 team, it could take another step toward being a national power.
So all over this bucolic college town, Hawkeyes fans tailgated by day and packed the brightly lit stadium as evening fell, a sea of gold shirts waving white towels.
By game?s end, those white towels looked more like flags of surrender, as Ohio State waltzed to a 38-17 victory.
The Buckeyes (5-0, 2-0) forced four turnovers and did not commit one. Troy Smith threw for a career-high four touchdowns, two to Anthony Gonzalez, and Antonio Pittman rushed for 117 yards. The Buckeyes gained a season-high 214 yards on the ground.
"The offense today did a good job of being mistake-free and opportunistic on the road," Smith said. "That?s part of our road formula and we tried to execute it as best we could."
Ohio State extended its win streak to 12, longest in the nation. West Virginia has won 11 in a row but did not play yesterday. Having beaten Texas, Penn State and Iowa already, Ohio State?s next tough game appears to be the regular-season finale against Michigan on Nov. 18.
"I don?t coach Ohio State," Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz said. "But from my vantage point, this is clearly the best they?ve played this year."
Ohio State flashed a frightening combination of power and speed, and never was it more apparent than on two key plays in the third quarter. Leading 21-10, the Buckeyes took the second-half kickoff and moved to the Iowa 32-yard line, where they faced fourth-and-1.
Out of a jumbo formation, freshman back Chris "Beanie" Wells bulled behind 325-pound left tackle Alex Boone for 2 yards and the first.
Just like that, an ear-splitting din quieted to a hush.
"I got right behind (Boone) and went," Wells said. "My father always told me, ?You?re a running back, if you can?t get a yard, they don?t need you.? "
On the next play, Smith found Gonzalez open on a slant route down the middle. Gonzalez cut to the right and backtracked a few yards, then gained the corner and dashed the rest of the 30 yards for a score, helped by a crushing block from receiver Brian Hartline.
It was a dazzling play, and it crushed the spirit of the No. 13 Hawkeyes (4-1, 1-1).
"We thought we could exploit their coverage based on the fact that we knew it would be a linebacker covering me on that particular route," Gonzalez said. "If you?re a receiver, you?d better get open if there?s a linebacker covering you."
The Buckeyes thwarted Iowa quarterback Drew Tate, who finished 19-of-41 passing for 249 yards with a score and three interceptions.
Ohio State jumped to a 14-3 lead to open the game. Smith hit Gonzalez for a 12-yard score, and a Brandon Mitchell interception at the Iowa 30 set up a 4-yard TD run by Pittman.
But Iowa drove for a 15-yard Albert Young touchdown to close the gap to 14-10. It was the first rushing score OSU gave up this season, and also broke a string of more than eight quarters in which the Buckeyes had not surrendered a touchdown.
Tressel said the next possession was the most important for his team.
Starting from the 11, Wells then jump-started OSU with three runs and a catch, for 31 yards to get the Buckeyes out of a hole.
Smith found Ted Ginn Jr. twice and Pittman was impressive to get OSU to Iowa?s 6. Smith then fired to the right side of the end zone, where Roy Hall was in single coverage.
Hall caught it to make the score 21-10 with 2:19 remaining in the first half.
It was Hall?s first TD since the second game of the 2004 season.
"I thought that was a huge confidence-builder for us," Tressel said. "(Iowa) had a little momentum going and got the crowd riled up and our guys took it down the field."
After Gonzalez? second score made it 28-10, Iowa drove 86 yards in 12 plays. A Tate 4-yard toss to Andy Brodell cut the OSU lead to two touchdowns and briefly revived the crowd with 13:08 remaining.
Iowa had two more possessions, but Mitchell recovered a fumble, then Marcus Freeman intercepted a Tate pass to seal it.
OSU has forced 13 turnovers this season, one more than it had all last year.

Maintaining focus might be next challenge for Ohio State

Sunday, October 01, 2006

BOB HUNTER

</IMG>

IOWA CITY, Iowa ? No. 13 Iowa? Pfft. The real test for top-ranked Ohio State begins today. For the next six weeks, the Buckeyes? toughest opponent might be themselves. Whether they admit it, the Buckeyes will have to constantly gird themselves against looking ahead to Michigan. They know what to say and they will say it repeatedly, that they have to take them one game at a time, that every opponent on the schedule is tough, that they respect every team they play, that they can?t look past anyone, blah, blah, blah.
But, hey, these guys are human beings. When things are going this well and the schedule looks as soft as warm butter and the people around them are yakking about travel plans to the national championship game in Phoenix, it?s hard to resist the temptation to take a peek down the road.
The 38-17 victory over Iowa last night was a huge one. Going into the season, it was one of three road games on the Ohio State schedule that looked season-killing dangerous, and the Buckeyes have now won two of them. The third, Michigan State, comes in two weeks, but after a Spartans loss to lowly Illinois yesterday that was accompanied by an injury to quarterback Drew Stanton, it no longer looks quite so tough.
So with wins over No. 2 Texas, Iowa and Penn State in their rearview mirror and with fans already giddy over the chances of another national title, it?s hard not to notice that the Buckeyes may have already played ? and beaten ? three teams that appear stronger than the next six on the schedule.
"One of the great challenges that we?ve talked about a lot is how brutal that September schedule was," Ohio State coach Jim Tressel said. "We?ve played against some tough teams, and people have brought all they could bring at us. And all that does, though ? is make October more important. So starting tomorrow, October begins and we?ll go to work and try to get better."
Upsets happen, of course, which is why looking ahead to Michigan can be very risky. It?s just hard not to notice that a team that started the season with nine new starters on defense has come through what should have been the most difficult stretch of the schedule unscathed. It hasn?t been a breeze, but they have beaten every team they played rather handily. To this point, this No. 1 stuff has seemed easy.
The win last night took some guts. Iowa is one of the most difficult places to play in the Big Ten, and a night game on national television jacked up the crowd even more.
Does Tressel have any more questions about these guys after a game like that?
You know he does.
"Can you handle the success of being 5-0?" Tressel said. "We handled the adversity of a tough environment today, the backand-forth ebb and flow. Maybe they moved it a little bit, and our defense handled that adversity and created some takeaways. The offense got stopped a little, and the next series they were better. ? I think that?s natural to handle adversity.
"Now can we handle being successful and having that 5-0 start and will we get better starting tomorrow in practice, and then Tuesday? That?s the question. We?re capable. I?ve said that from the get-go. We?ve very capable."
More capable, it would seem, than any team standing between them and that Nov. 18 date with Michigan. So capable that the next weeks look to be almost easy.
"We know we have to take it one game at a time," defensive tackle David Patterson said.
Of course.

IOWA NOTEBOOK
Tate says sputtering offense was his fault

Sunday, October 01, 2006

Aaron Portzline and Bob Baptist
THE COLUMBUS DISPATCH




IOWA CITY, Iowa ? After letting a game against No. 1 Ohio State slip through their hands, the Iowa Hawkeyes took to beating themselves up last night.
Leading the way after the Buckeyes? 38-17 win was Hawkeyes quarterback Drew Tate.
"I think I hurt our offense more than (Ohio State?s defense) did," he said.
Tate completed 19 of 41 passes for 249 yards and a touchdown, but he threw three interceptions and missed a slew of open receivers to keep the Hawkeyes? offense from clicking.
It wasn?t all Tate, though. Andy Brodell, Dominique Douglas and Herb Grigsby ? Tate?s top three receivers ? all dropped wide-open passes. Douglas dropped what would have been a 20-yard gain on third-and-11 on the Hawkeyes? first drive of the game.
"I?m not going to blame those guys," Tate said. "They weren?t trying to drop those passes. I was frustrated, yes. But I got just as frustrated with them as I was frustrated with myself. We left a lot of plays out there tonight. A lot of plays."
Tate has missed one game and lots of practice time, including last week, because of an abdominal strain. He threw two of his interceptions in the last seven minutes of the game.
"I went to bed Tuesday night not knowing (if Tate was going to play)," Ferentz said. "This is an injury we?ve had a hard time getting a read on. I don?t want to make excuses for him. Drew is probably his own worst critic. He?s a little tough on himself. He did a good job all the way through in tough circumstances."
Ferentz flattery

Ferentz was impressed by Ohio State, from the well-publicized to the less-advertised players.
First, to the Heisman Trophy hopeful, quarterback Troy Smith.
"I?m not an expert on the national scene," Ferentz said. "But I can?t believe there are many players in the country who are better than Troy Smith. This is a guy who can beat you in a lot of ways. He?s what makes those guys tick."
Then to the so-called No. 2 receiver.
"Everybody talks about Ted Ginn Jr., and rightfully so, ?cause he?s scary," he said. "But I?m a big, big fan of Tony Gonzalez. That?s just a heck of a football player."
Ohio on recruiting radar

Three years ago, Iowa did not have an Ohio player on its roster. Nine were on the Hawkeyes? roster last night in Kinnick Stadium.
"To me, the state of Ohio is one of the best high school football states in the country. They rank in the top three or five nationally for Division I players signed," Ferentz said.
But his predecessor, Hayden Fry, did not recruit Ohio or Michigan. He viewed it as a waste of time. Ferentz has taken a different approach, but only lately.
"Our overall philosophy is we want to recruit the Midwest first and foremost, and also the Big Ten area," he said. "We weren?t able to do that the first couple years because the kids in the Big Ten area were well aware of our lack of success. (But) now that we?ve won a few games, we feel we can better work in those areas."
All nine Ohio players on the roster are from the Cleveland or Youngstown areas, where offensive coordinator Ken O?Keefe has recruiting connections from his days as coach at Allegheny College in Meadville, Pa. All are either freshmen or sophomores. Two of the freshmen are quarterbacks whom Ferentz said he expects to redshirt.

OSU, Iowa played upset special in ?85

Sunday, October 01, 2006

Ken Gordon
THE COLUMBUS DISPATCH




All week, the excitement built in Columbus, but it wasn?t until chairs flew and glass broke that Ohio State knew it could beat the nation?s top-ranked team.
It was 1985, the last time befor e yesterday that OSU and Iowa met with either team ranked No. 1. That year, it was the Hawkeyes who came into Ohio Stadium flying high with a 7-0 record and a Heisman Trophy front runner at quarterback in Chuck Long.
The Buckeyes were 6-1 and ranked No. 8. They were determined to end a string of five straight 9-3 seasons.
"I knew by Thursday that we would win that game," former coach Earle Bruce said. "They were ready to go, chomping at the bit every day, waiting for that game to come about."
And then came Saturday, and the traditional captains? speeches to the team after the pregame meal.
Senior running back Keith Byars had been fighting a foot injury much of the season and would not play against Iowa.
His emotion came spilling out in that pregame talk. He kicked a chair and swiped a food tray off a table, shattering a glass.
"He got all ticked off, in a good way," former linebacker Chris Spielman said. "It was spontaneous, and that made it great, because he wasn?t the kind of guy to do that. It made it even more credible.
"It made us realize how lucky we were to be out there playing."
It was a late-afternoon start, and despite a steady rain, a then-record crowd of 90,467 was fired up.
"I remember walking out in warm-ups and the fans having energy, it felt like a night game," Spielman said.
Former Hawkeyes tight end Marv Cook was an impressionable redshirt freshman in 1985, and he vividly recalls the hostile atmosphere.
"It was the loudest game I?ve ever been in," Cook said. "It was intense to the point where it was unpleasant. I remember plugging my ears."
Current Ohio State coach Jim Tressel was an assistant to Bruce that day. Intensely focused, he has one overriding memory.
"The rain," Tressel said. "I was the quarterbacks-receivers coach, and when you see a monsoon, you?re thinking, ?Oh, man.? "
Iowa was saying that soon after the opening kickoff.
OSU kicked a field goal, then safety Sonny Gordon blocked a punt out of the end zone. When tailback John Woolridge scooted 57 yards for a touchdown, the Buckeyes led 12-0 in the second quarter.
"We jumped on them early, hit them hard," Bruce said.
The Hawkeyes never really recovered. Long suffered through a miserable day. He had come in completing 68 percent of his passes but was just 17 of 34 (50 percent) for 169 yards that day.
The Buckeyes picked him off four times, two by Spielman and one each by William White and Greg Rogan.
"Long?s best pass was the out-cut to the field side, and we jumped that really well," Bruce said.
Spielman quelled Iowa?s last best chance at a comeback when he stopped standout running back Ronnie Harmon for no gain on fourth-and-1 at the Buckeyes 10-yard line in the fourth quarter.
The score was 22-13.
"We played the perfect game," Spielman said.
But that would be the high point in Ohio State?s season. The Buckeyes lost their last two Big Ten games and posted a sixth straight 9-3 record. [email protected]

Buckeyes go Gonzo in Iowa
Gonzalez scores two touchdowns as Ohio State offense silences Kinnick crowd

By JON SPENCER
BuckeyeBuzz.com




IOWA CITY, Iowa -- September ended the way it began for top-ranked Ohio State -- with a bang. Bang. On OSU's second play from scrimmage Saturday night, Antonio Pittman tears around the corner for 20 yards, leading to the first of Troy Smith's four touchdown passes.
Bang. Brandon Mitchell's 13-yard return with a pilfered pass sets up another easy touchdown and has the home team staring at a double-digit deficit early in the second quarter. Bang. Gonzalez runs about 50 yards on a looping, weaving 30-yard touchdown at the outset of the second half. It's his second scoring grab of the night, essentially putting the game out of reach.

The end result was a 38-17 drubbing of Iowa, extending the Buckeyes' winning streak to a national-best 12 games and keeping the Hawkeyes winless in 11 tries (0-10-1) against a No. 1 opponent.
After Gonzalez had finished bobbing and weaving -- and even retreating -- on his dazzling catch, the Buckeyes had a 28-10 lead at 9:35 of the third quarter and were well on their way to completing a perfect September. Their 5-0 start includes three wins over nationally ranked teams.
"One of the great challenges we talked about was how brutal September (was)," coach Jim Tressel said. "We played tough teams and people brought a lot at us, but all that means to me is that it makes October more important."
Quarterback Drew Tate threw three interceptions, including two in the fourth quarter, as Iowa (4-1, 1-1) turned the ball over four times and lost for only the second time in its last 27 games in Kinnick Stadium. But Hawkeye fans have seen this before. Ohio State has now won 10 of the last 11 games in this series.
"It's hard to quantify how important turnovers are," Tressel said after his team won the takeaway margin 4-0. "Tate tried to make plays, but our guys hung in there. They made mistakes. We didn't. That's why we're in the happy locker room."
The Hawkeyes tried to mount a fourth-quarter comeback, climbing within 31-17 on a 4-yard pass from Tate to Andy Brodell. But tight end Scott Chandler fumbled at Ohio State's 47-yard line on Iowa's next possession and Mitchell came up with his second takeaway of the game with nine minutes left.
Less than three minutes later, linebacker Marcus Freeman went high in the air to snag the Buckeyes' second interception at Iowa's 14-yard line. Smith then zipped a 12-yard pass to Brian Robiskie to snuff out the Hawkeyes for good.
"I don't coach at Ohio State, but from my vantage point, this is the best they've played all year," Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz said. "I bet there were some throws (Tate) would like to have back and there were some drops as well. You can't make mistakes like that against a quality team like Ohio State."
Smith finished 16 of 25 for 186 yards, with no interceptions. Gonzalez matched last year's effort against the Hawkeyes with his two scoring grabs, and Pittman gained 117 yards on 25 carries.
Gonzalez couldn't wait to get back to Ohio and see a replay of his madcap touchdown. He caught the ball over the middle at the Iowa 15, retreated to about the 20, and then raced down the right sideline, taking advantage of a block by Brian Hartline to dive into the end zone.
"When a guy has phenomenal speed, he learns to give ground to gain ground," Smith said. "Sometimes it can haunt you, but guys like Gonzo can do that."
The first half featured Roy Hall's first touchdown catch since the second game of the 2004 season. His grab gave Ohio State a 21-10 lead at the break after the Hawkeyes became the first opponent to score a rushing touchdown this season.
The Buckeyes never trailed, taking advantage of excellent field position to quickly put their slow starts of the previous two games behind them.
On the second play from scrimmage, Pittman turned the corner for 20 yards to the Iowa 23. That led to a 12-yard touchdown pass from Smith to Gonzalez.
The Hawkeyes answered with Kyle Schlicher's 32-yard field goal, shaving Ohio State's lead to 7-3 at 5:19 of the opening period. But the Buckeyes padded their cushion early in the second after Mitchell's interception set the offense up at the Iowa 30.
It took only three plays for Ohio State to capitalize on its ninth interception of the season. Pittman shook free for a 23-yard gain to the 4-yard line and then walked into the end zone over the left side on the next play to make it 14-3.
Iowa again came back with a score of its own, exposing the Buckeyes' suspect run defense on a seven-play, 80-yard drive. Fifty-nine of those yards came via the ground, including the 15-yard payoff by tailback Albert Young.
Although Ohio State has given up huge chunks of rushing yardage all season, Young's touchdown was the first by an opponent on the ground and just the fourth allowed by the Buckeyes. Its impact was lessened when the Buckeyes went 89 yards in 12 plays near the end of the half. The drive featured three carries for 33 yards by Chris Wells and four completions by Smith, capped by his 6-yard bullet to Hall in the right corner of the end zone. "Coach Bolls (offensive coordinator Jim Bollman) put a lot of emphasis on starting early this week," center Doug Datish said. "We knew that if we waited the crowd would get into it."

Iowa perspective: Hawkeyes a buck short

No. 1 Buckeyes tarnish Kinnick's golden night

By Andy Hamilton
Iowa City Press-Citizen



So much buildup. So much attention. So much Ohio State.
All the Iowa football team wanted Saturday was an opportunity to fuel its crowd, its Kinnick magic, and have a chance late in the night to pull off the school's first victory against a top-ranked opponent with the nation watching.

All the Hawkeyes got was a four-turnover performance, a checklist of areas that need improvement and the sound of its gold-clad crowd leaving for the exits after the No. 1 Buckeyes beat No. 13 Iowa 38-17 in front of 70,585.

The much-anticipated second true night game in Kinnick Stadium history ended with a nationally televised audience watching No. 13 Iowa lose for the second time in 27 home games. Watching the Hawkeyes (4-1, 1-1 Big Ten) lose by more than a touchdown for the first time in six years at home. Watching the Buckeyes march on.

"From my vantage point, I think this is clearly the best they've played this year," Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz said. "They look good on film, don't get me wrong. But they really played well tonight, and they responded the way a team has to respond."

Saturday had all the components in place for a special day in Iowa football history -- the return of "ESPN College GameDay" for the first time in 10 years, the first night game in Iowa City since 1992, the chance to win for the first time in 11 tries against a top-ranked opponent and a lively crowd that wanted to will the Hawkeyes to victory.

"The crowd was great," Iowa running back Albert Young said. "We just didn't give them any reasons to really cheer."

At least not in the second half.

The Buckeyes (5-0, 2-0) yanked away any hope of an Iowa upset in the final 30 minutes with their star-powered offense that picked the Hawkeyes apart with a mixture of Antonio Pittman's running, Troy Smith's passing and the playmaking of Ted Ginn Jr. and Anthony Gonzalez.

Pittman rushed for 117 yards on 25 carries, gaining the majority of his yards on plays in which he beat Iowa's defense to the perimeter.

"You take away the middle and they take it outside," Iowa defensive end Kenny Iwebema said. "With their backs, they have the capability of doing that. I don't see it as being finesse, I see it as making plays."

Pittman wasn't the only guy making them. Smith enhanced his Heisman campaign, completing 16-of-25 passing for 186 yards and four touchdowns. Ginn caught seven passes for 69 yards, and Gonzalez made five receptions for 77 yards and two touchdowns.

"Explosive," Young said. "They have weapons everywhere -- from the backs to the quarterbacks to the receivers. There isn't any drop-offs on that team."

Said Ferentz: "You can't make errors against a team as talented as this team is. You really have to try to maximize your opportunities."

The Hawkeyes did neither.

Ohio State played turnover-free and picked off Iowa quarterback Drew Tate three times, sacked him twice and seemingly hurried him all night. Tate wasn't his typical accurate self, completing 19-of-41 for 249 yards. Perhaps the abdominal strain that has nagged the senior throughout the season and caused him to pull out of Tuesday's practice played a part.

"I can't say yes or no to that," Tate said. "I didn't even think about it until coach (Ken) O'Keefe mentioned it on the sideline. I think it was in the third quarter. Then I got to thinking about it. I've been playing this game a long time. If I can't go back there and complete a comeback or a hook route from not throwing all week, maybe just half a week, that's still no excuse."

A handful of dropped passes didn't help Tate and the Hawkeye offense.

"They have a great offense and their defense plays well, but I think I hurt our offense more than they did," Tate said. "They still made a lot of things tough, but I missed too many guys, and we left too many plays out there that we're capable of making.

"It just came down to me completing balls and throwing the ball like I'm supposed to and like I can. And I just didn't do it."

The Hawkeyes had moments that made you think an upset was possible. They responded to Ohio State's second touchdown with an 80-yard drive culminating with Young's 15-yard touchdown run that cut the Buckeye lead to 14-10. It was the first rushing touchdown allowed by the Buckeyes this season, and it came on a drive that featured five running plays that netted 59 yards.

The Hawkeyes stuffed Ohio State on its next possession and regained the ball at midfield. But Iowa ran three plays, didn't gain a yard and punted, shifting the tide of momentum back to the Buckeyes.

Ohio State assembled a 12-play, 89-yard touchdown drive. Smith completed all four of his passes on the possession and hit Roy Hall on a timing route for an 8-yard touchdown pass to go ahead 21-10.

The Buckeyes extended their lead on their first possession of the second half, exploiting Iowa's pass coverage with coverage mismatches. Smith found the speedy Gonzalez working on middle linebacker Mike Klinkenborg over the middle for a short gain. Gonzalez caught the pass, reversed direction and outran the Iowa defense to the end zone for a 30-yard touchdown.

"The offense today did a good job of being mistake-free and opportunistic on the road," Smith said. "That's part of our road formula, and we tried to execute it as best as we could."

The Buckeyes doubled Iowa in time of possession and held a 400-336 advantage in total offense."They give you some tough match-ups, there's no doubt about that," Ferentz said. "We won't be the first or last to experience that."

BUCKEYES TOP HAWKEYES 38-17


IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) - The toughest part of Ohio State's schedule is behind the Buckeyes. And Troy Smith and Co. handled it with ease.

Smith threw for 186 yards and four touchdowns and No. 1 Ohio State picked up its second road win over a ranked opponent by manhandling No. 13 Iowa 38-17 Saturday night.

The Buckeyes (5-0, 2-0 Big Ten) faced three ranked teams in September _ Texas, Penn State and the Hawkeyes _ and beat them all by at least 17 points.

"That's something we talked about, how brutal that September schedule is," Ohio State coach Jim Tressel said. "We've played against some tough teams who brought all they could bring us."

Ohio State, which extended the nation's longest winning streak to 12 games, won't face another team currently ranked until their season finale against Michigan on Nov. 18.

Iowa (4-1, 1-1) fell to 0-10-1 against No. 1 teams and couldn't put up much of a fight in the most anticipated game at Kinnick Stadium in more than 20 years.

The Buckeyes were just the fifth top-ranked team to visit Kinnick, the last being Miami, who beat Iowa 24-7 in 1992. And the last game to generate this much buzz in Iowa also came in 1985, when the top-ranked Hawkeyes beat No. 2 Michigan 12-10.

All the buzz, and a loud sellout crowd, wasn't enough to stop the Buckeyes.

"By my vantage point, this is the best they've played all year," Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz said of the Buckeyes. "This wasn't an easy one to walk into as a visitor."

Ohio State broke open a 21-10 game with long scoring drives on its first two possessions of the second half. Anthony Gonzalez, who caught two touchdown passes, took the air out of the Kinnick crowd with a spectacular 30-yard TD catch that put the Buckeyes ahead 28-10 early in the second half.

Gonzalez caught the ball on the left hashmark, cut back toward the right sideline _ using his hand to keep from falling down _ and fought through a tackle to reach the pylon.

Ohio State's next drive only netted an Aaron Pettrey field goal. But it ate almost eight minutes off the clock and gave the Buckeyes a 21-point lead heading into the fourth quarter.

The Hawkeyes pulled within 31-17 on a 4-yard TD pass from Drew Tate on fourth down. But Ohio State forced a fumble and two interception on Iowa's next three possessions. Smith put Iowa's comeback hopes to rest with a 12-yard touchdown pass to Brian Robiskie.

"He was in command the whole game," Tressel said of Smith. "I thought he was one of the elite ones (in the nation) before this game. But he keeps getting better."

Antonio Pittman and Chris Wells combined for 55 yards rushing on a 12-play, 89-yard scoring drive late in the second quarter. Smith capped it with a 6-yard strike to seldom-used senior Roy Hall.

The Buckeyes rushed for 124 yards in the first half _ just 15 shy of their game average heading into Saturday _ and picked up 5.9 yards a carry against an Iowa defensive line considered one of the Big Ten's strongest.

Iowa got as close as 14-10 on a 15-yard touchdown run by Albert Young.

The Buckeyes moved ahead 14-3 by capitalizing on an interception by Brandon Mitchell, who returned it to the Iowa 30. Pittman followed a 23-yard rush with a 4-yard TD run.

Ohio State scored on the game's opening possession, marching 53 yards in just 2:24. Smith, who finished 16-of-25 passing, found Gonzalez for a 12-yard TD pass to give the Buckeyes a 7-0 lead.

Tate had his worst game last season against Ohio State. He wasn't much better Saturday. He finished 19-of-41 for 249 yards and three interceptions for Iowa. Ohio State turned both of Tate's picks into touchdowns.

"I gave them two touchdowns," Tate said. "You take two of them away, it's a pretty close ball game."

Pittman rushed for 117 yards and a touchdown.

NO. 1 OHIO STATE 38, NO. 13 IOWA 17
Way too good


Sunday, October 01, 2006 Doug Lesmerises
Plain Dealer Reporter

Iowa City, Iowa- As Ohio State receiver Anthony Gonzalez was running circles around his defense Saturday night, maybe Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz was thinking about what he'd said earlier in the week.
Asked directly about the possibility of covering the speedy Gonzalez with a linebacker, Ferentz said, "We have a certain way that we play, and that's something we believe in."
Maybe that's the best thing Buckeyes opponents can do this year, play their way and hope they play well. It doesn't seem like it matters to Ohio State.
After slow starts the previous two weeks, the Buckeyes stepped into a gold bowl of desperation and exhilaration at Kinnick Stadium and did their thing, adding another entry to their resume as the No. 1 team in the country with a 38-17 win over No. 13 Iowa.
Ohio State forced four turnovers, with interceptions by Brandon Mitchell, Marcus Freeman and James Laurinaitis, and a Mitchell recovery of a fumble forced by Antonio Smith. That gives the Buckeyes defense 13 turnovers in five games - one more than last year's defense forced in the entire 12-game season.
"They made mistakes, and we didn't," Ohio State coach Jim Tressel said. "That's why we're in the happy locker room."
The weaving, 30-yard touchdown catch by Gonzalez in the third quarter was the signature moment, but the Buckeyes had established their supremacy by then, scoring first on a 12-yard pass from Troy Smith to Gonzalez and holding a 21-10 lead at the half.
Ohio State was marching again to start the second half, ready for the 11th play of a drive that had started at the 20-yard line, when Gonzalez lined up in the slot, defended by Iowa middle linebacker Mike Klinkenborg. Gonzalez immediately beat the 'backer on a quick slant, Smith hitting him at the 24-yard line. At the 13-yard line, Gonzalez began a reversal of field, cutting right and backward to the 19-yard line, another slower Hawkeye in pursuit.
"With a guy with phenomenal speed, you learn early in your career to give some ground to gain some ground," said Smith, who did it himself on a twisting scramble that led to a touchdown throw last week. "Sometimes that comes back to haunt you, but a guy like Anthony Gonzalez can do that."
As he reached the far sideline, Gonzalez picked up a block from receiver Brian Hartline and jumped to the end zone, scoring two touchdowns against Iowa for the second consecutive season.
"Their defenses are fairly predictable," Gonzalez said. "They don't do a lot of things, but what they do, they do well. In this particular instance, we were able to exploit what they do because we knew it going in.
"That was the plan, to spread them out and get linebackers on receivers. They were staying true to form the whole night with what they were doing, and that was a play we worked on all week."
Gonzalez finished with five catches for 77 yards and the two scores. Ted Ginn Jr. caught seven passes for 69 yards, while Roy Hall had two catches and his first touchdown of the year. Smith completed 16 of 25 passes for 186 yards and four touchdowns, and Antonio Pittman had his third consecutive 100-yard game, rushing 25 times for 117 yards.
The Hawkeyes (4-1) were outmatched, though the majority of the 70,585 fans were rooting for Iowa and gave their team every possible edge in the second prime-time home game in school history. Pockets of scarlet were contained to the two lower corners of the stands on Ohio State's side of the field, though dots of gold were visible even there, Iowa fans obviously willing to pay to be present at the biggest game at Kinnick Stadium since 1985. No. 1 Iowa defeated No. 2 Michigan on that night, but two decades later, it wasn't to be for the Hawkeyes.
Senior quarterback Drew Tate was the first veteran quarterback the Buckeyes had faced this season, and he controlled Iowa's fate. On the first play of the second quarter, with OSU up, 7-3, Iowa receiver Herb Grigsby was open down the middle of the field. And still open. And still open. But Tate waited too long, and when he made his throw, Mitchell stepped in front for the pick that would set up a 30-yard Ohio State touchdown drive. If Tate had thrown the ball two beats sooner, maybe completing a 25-yard pass, the Hawkeyes might have started a scoring drive that could have given them the lead.
"Coach told us to make sure we were reading Drew Tate's eyes, and if the ball's thrown more than 15 yards, it needs to be an interception," Mitchell said.
Tate finished 19-of-41 for 249 yards, with one touchdown and three interceptions. That first turnover was the first indication Saturday night would be more of the same for Ohio State.
The Buckeyes did what they do, and as their winning streak reached 12 games, another opponent couldn't handle it.

Balanced, yet wide-open, Buckeyes outclass rivals


Sunday, October 01, 2006 Bud Shaw
Plain Dealer Columnist

Iowa City, Iowa - It was here two years ago, on a day that was just a game and not Saturday's civic cause, that Troy Smith became the Ohio State starting quarterback.
Smith called himself a "puppet on a string" that night, falling just short of wondering aloud why the Ohio State coaching staff seemed to be allergic to him.
The Buckeyes' offense has grown so much since its 2004 thrashing at Kinnick Stadium that it's almost unrecognizable. It certainly was to the Iowa defense at critical times Saturday, anyway.
That was either Anthony Gonzalez or Crazy Legs Hirsch. The defense that hadn't stood up to a veteran quarterback intercepted Drew Tate three times. Antonio Pittman and Chris Wells could have pointed left and still gained yards behind behemoths Alex Boone and Steve Rehring.
But Smith is the reason for the tallest line on the growth chart, not a byproduct of it.
"I couldn't fit into one conversation how much I feel I've grown and matured," Smith said Saturday night after a 38-17 romp over the No. 13 Hawkeyes. "But if I didn't have those guys in front of me I wouldn't be on anybody's list."
"We have playmakers all over the field and my job is to get them the ball. I'm just a lucky guy," Smith said.
Ohio State is even more obviously the dominant team in football. The young defense that was the only reason to doubt them plays wise enough. But the Buckeyes' pedigree always comes back to the offense and the quarterback.
"Troy was in command the whole game tonight," said Jim Tressel.
Auburn won a game at South Carolina earlier this week needing an onsides kick and a dropped touchdown pass to survive. Top-ranked Ohio State didn't perspire nearly as much. The Buckeyes only needed Smith in spurts, but they were heel-to-the-windpipe moments.
This was a Heisman night without all the yards, the tired arm and legs. His work Saturday was all efficiency and aplomb - terms not often attached to his name before last season and never together.
Smith "settled" for four touchdowns passing, if only 187 yards. He hit Iowa early and after every momentum swing toward the home team.
Iowa isn't Texas, either in talent or tradition. The flip side is that the novelty of the big-game turned the volume up around Kinnick Stadium to the decibel level of a jet taking off. Iowa's "Gold Out" directive had turned the streets into amber waves of grain. Grain alcohol.
Nothing is so distinctly American as a big-game college football tailgate. Nothing is more difficult than crashing such a party the way Ohio State did Saturday night by wearing the lampshades home and leaving shoe marks all over the furniture.
"When you play in a situation like this," Smith said, "it's important to be cool. If you let them know you're rattled, it'll be a long day."
There's no such thing as a distinctly Ohio State win any more. The choke on the offense is fully open.
The Buckeyes used Smith's arm but might have pulled it off simply running behind an offensive line that made harvest of the Hawkeyes' defense.
"A vintage Jim Tressel team?" Smith said, repeating a question, and laughing. "I'd have to give that a lot of thought."
There was so much balance on this night that Smith only seemed incidental. The last time the Buckeyes believed that, they left Kinnick Stadium on the wrong side of a romp.

Sunday Morning Quarterback

Sunday, October 01, 2006

1. Going to Hall

You have to feel good for senior Roy Hall. A ankle injury left him on the sideline for the first two games, and he was nearly nonexistent in the offense when he returned the last two weeks, catching just one pass for 5 yards late in a game that was over. Against Iowa, he saw more meaningful action than he had all season, catching just the second touchdown of his career in the second quarter, beating a Hawkeye in the corner of the end zone for a 6-yard score.

2. Close encounter

Anyone building a new college football stadium should copy Kinnick Stadium's stands, which are on top of the sideline. It's tough on the TV broadcasts, which can't get as many camera angles as they'd like with no room, but it's worse on the visiting team. "Their fans are a lot closer to you, and you get a lot of them trying to get you distracted saying some stuff," OSU defensive tackle Quinn Pitcock said leading up to the game. "It's hard to not turn around and get them wired up by trying to talk back to them.

3. Somewhere to run

Left guard Steve Rehring, 6-8 and 329 pounds, and left tackle Alex Boone, 6-8 and 325, are developing into quite the tandem in the run game. Early in the season, the Buckeyes usually ran to the right behind veterans Kirk Barton and T.J. Downing, but Antonio Pittman bounced to the left often on Saturday, with plenty of room to run. When OSU needed 1 yard on fourth down in the third quarter, Chris Wells ran left for a 2-yard gain.

4. Picking favorites

I have a feeling I'll be picking Ohio State to win the next six weeks of the season, unlike my choice on Saturday. The Buckeyes should be at least 14-point favorites against Bowling Green, at Michigan State, against Indiana and Minnesota and at Illinois and Northwestern. Maybe 21-point favorites. Then it's Michigan on Nov. 18, but that date's a lot of big wins away. The Buckeyes went 5-0 in September by beating three ranked teams. "One of the great challenges that we talked about a lot was how brutal that September schedule was," coach Jim Tressel said.

Bests from the Ohio State-Iowa game

Sunday, October 01, 2006

Best recovery


Can you imagine if Ohio State would have turned the ball over on its first offensive play of the game? After Ted Ginn Jr. caught a short pass, Iowa defensive end Bryan Mattison tracked Ginn down and forced a fumble. Ginn scrambled after it and managed to recover his own miscue, the Buckeyes winding up with a 11-yard gain and first down on the play. If Iowa would have been able to recover the ball near midfield a little more than a minute into the game, the first half may have taken on a very different tone.


Best block

The scampering 30-yard, catch-and-run touchdown by Anthony Gonzalez was something to behold, the junior winding through the Iowa defense like a leaf caught in the wind before finding the end zone for a 28-10 lead early in the third quarter. The end of it, when Gonzalez danced down the sideline and extended toward the end zone, wouldn't have happened without receiver Brian Hartline. The freshman knocked out two Hawkeyes with one block, giving Gonzalez a final crease. Two weeks ago, receiver Ted Ginn Jr. received Ohio State's hit of the week for a block on an Antonio Pittman touchdown run.


Best catch


Let's once more extol Ted Ginn Jr.'s virtues as a complete receiver. He's about much more than grabbing dazzling deep throws. On Ohio State's third touchdown drive, he ran a perfect sideline route as Troy Smith rolled out right, catching his pass on his tiptoes on the sideline. Two plays later, he caught a pass as Smith rolled left and immediately absorbed a crunching Iowa hit. They weren't highlights, just the kind of plays that keep drives alive and allow highlights to happen.


Best hit


Iowa sophomore Shonn Greene, a backup running back, plugged Ohio State return man Ted Ginn Jr. at the 12-yard line on a second-quarter kickoff. That followed Iowa's first score, a 31-yard field goal by Kyle Schlicher that cut Ohio State's lead to 7-3. The hit seemed like a moment where the Hawkeyes might be able to grab some momentum, and Ohio State did go three-and-out on its possession. However, the Hawkeyes were never able to swing the game their way during a first half when they had several chances.


Best control


Everyone remembers Drew Tate's spike of frustration in last season's blowout loss to Ohio State. However, the Iowa quarterback has come a long way. When his receivers dropped several catchable passes Saturday night, all Tate did was rip off his chin strap, put his hands on his helmet, bend his knees and squat like he wanted to throw up. "I think he's made strides," Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz said this week. "He's always cared about the team, and that's why I never had any problem with the spiking of the ball last year. I never had a problem from the standpoint of it being a selfish move, because I know Drew's not a selfish person."

I never complain about calls, but the pi and Ginns no-catch seemed horrible to me.

Did they ever show the replay that show the ref's "indisputable evidence" tha Ginn did not catch the ball? I can understand bad calls happening, but on a challenge, every reply I saw, lookked like a clear catch by Ginn. Did I miss a different angle?
Click to expand...
I agree, the PI and no-catch were terrible calls. Then, a play or two after the PI, Golston hit Tate and looked like a fumble that we recovered, and the Refs called an incomplete pass.

Another reason the no-catch was so bad, Ginn had the ball, and it didn't come loose until he was hit, which by the way, could/should have been called a late hit. Teddy was on the ground for a second before I guy dove at him. Terrible calls, IMO.

But our guys persevered over terrible officiating, that seems to always go against them early in games. Laurinaitis with his 4th INT is just amazing. Gonzo's catch and run was spec-freaking-tacular. And while Pittman did another great job, I loved seeing Beanie getting some late carries to keep wearing out the defense. Defense was just great overall. Hopefully, Russell's knee will be OK.

An eye for a Buckeye
JASON LLOYD, Morning Journal Writer

10/01/2006

IOWA CITY, Iowa -- It's October this morning and Ohio State is still No. 1 in the country.


Given the September obstacle course the Buckeyes just completed, that's pretty impressive.

The road to Glendale and a Jan. 8 date in the national championship game got much clearer last night after the Buckeyes' 38-17 win over Iowa, officially completing a 5-0 September when Ohio State won on the road in Austin and Iowa City at night.

Given Michigan State's collapse at home yesterday against Illinois, combined with Ohio State's penchant under Jim Tressel of improving as the season progresses, it would seem today that no one left on the schedule could pose a legitimate threat to the Buckeyes until what is shaping up to be a colossal Nov. 18 clash against Michigan.

The Buckeyes surgically cut apart Iowa last night, slicing through an overmatched front seven with a heavy dose of Anthony Gonzalez and Antonio Pittman. Gonzalez, inexplicably covered by Iowa middle linebacker Mike Klinkenborg on multiple pass routes, added two more touchdown catches and the defense battered Hawkeyes quarterback Drew Tate for the second straight year.

''Iowa is a good football team,'' Tressel said. ''Our kids hung in there. This was tough odds. There was a bunch of gold (T-shirts) out there. Our kids hung together and didn't make many mistakes.''

The Buckeyes started to take control in the second quarter. They were already leading, 14-10, when a poor punt from A.J. Trapasso gave Iowa great field position at midfield. But Iowa's Damian Sims was stuffed at the line on first down and Tate threw incomplete on the next two plays, forcing Iowa to punt without gaining an inch.

Ohio State flexed its muscle on its ensuing drive, when left guard Steve Rehring and left tackle Alex Boone began to dominate the right side of Iowa's defensive line. Ohio State ran the ball eight times in 12 plays, including four runs right behind Rehring and Boone.

A completion to Ted Ginn gave the Buckeyes a first down at the Iowa 25, then Pittman took three straight runs over the left side to carry the ball to the 5. That's when Troy Smith hit Roy Hall in the end zone, giving the Buckeyes a 21-10 lead and command of the game.

Already down two starters on the offensive line because of injuries, Iowa's offense struggled to score when it mattered against an Ohio State defense that continues to impress. Iowa turned the ball over four times, including threw three interceptions from Tate, who steadily grew worse in the fourth quarter while trying to make something happen.

Tate's first mistake came in the second quarter, when he threw over the middle and into the hands of safety Brandon Mitchell. Iowa receiver Herb Grigsby was open, but Tate waited too long and Mitchell read the play perfectly, giving Ohio State possession on the Iowa 30. It only took three running plays for Pittman to chew up those 30 yards and the Buckeyes had a 14-3 lead.

Tate was under pressure most of the night, and even when he had time, his receivers didn't help him. Iowa receivers dropped four passes in the first half, including consecutive attempts to fullback Champ Davis and receiver Andy Brodell that would've given Iowa a first down. Davis also dropped a sure touchdown in the fourth quarter, although Brodell made up for it with a touchdown two plays later. Brodell's touchdown cut the Buckeyes' lead to 31-17.

Iowa had one last chance, but it ended when Scott Chandler fumbled a completion from Tate near midfield with 8:45 left in the game. Mitchell, who earlier had the interception, also came up with the fumble to end Iowa's hopes of a comeback. Tate threw two more interceptions late, to linebackers Marcus Freeman and James Laurinaitis, but by then, it didn't matter.

The Buckeyes controlled the tempo from the opening drive. After slow starts the past two weeks against Cincinnati and Penn State, the Buckeyes rectified that with a seven-play, 54-yard drive on their opening possession for a 7-0 lead when Gonzalez caught the first of his two touchdowns. Like has been the case so many times this year, Gonzalez provided every big catch the offense needed.

On first down from the Iowa 30, Gonzalez caught a slant from Smith, ran backward 10 yards to get the corner and turned what should've been a routine completion into a dazzling 30-yard touchdown catch reminiscent of Smith's scrambling touchdown throw last week against the Nittany Lions.

It was one of four touchdown passes for Smith, who finished 16-of-25 for 187 yards. Pittman ran for 117 and Gonzalez caught five passes for 77 yards and the two touchdowns.

Over their last seven games, the Buckeyes have now beaten Michigan, Notre Dame, Texas, Penn State and Iowa.

That's why they're No. 1.

3 and Out

1. Fast start

Mission accomplished. Ohio State wanted a fast start and it got one when Anthony Gonzalez caught a 12-yard touchdown pass on the first play of the game. Like it's been so many times this year, the Buckeyes never trailed.

2. Like they Drew it up

As it turns out, Drew Tate threw three costly interceptions -- the first into the hands of Brandon Mitchell and two more to linebackers James Laurinaitis and Marcus Freeman. The first two interceptions resulted in touchdowns for Ohio State. Tate was also the victim of a number of dropped passes by his receivers.

3. Coach's kid

Brian Robiskie was quiet until his 13-yard touchdown catch with 4:23 left in the game. By then, the game was long over. The real star in the receivers was again Gonzalez, who kept finding mismatches in Iowa's defense, and to his credit, Troy Smith kept exploiting them.
