Game Thread Game One: #1 Ohio State 35, Northern Illinois 12 (9/2/06)

While THE OSU always respects an opponent, I think the Buckeyes are getting too carried away about NI. This NI team is a paper tiger. They haven't won a MAC title and haven't been to a bowl since the early 80's. Their offensive line lost key people. Doug Free is the only guy on the OL to concern ourselves with. Garrett Wolfe is a 5'7" back who posts eye-popping stats against mid major competition but is a dime a dozen guy in the BCS conferences. Let him get 150 yards and it won't really much matter. THE OSU has way, way too much team speed and size on the lines to make me worry about this game. A good ol' fashion blowout. Too bad we aren't going up against the best the MAC has to offer in Toledo, Akron or that Central Michigan program.

OSU: 46
NI: 10

The way you express yourself (Northern Illini ?) ( NI?) I can tell immediately that you must have received a Doctoral Degree in English from Columbus, or did they TOSU out
