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

TGII, making it look easy!

 

[BB73]

OK, who had Ted Ginn for the 1st TD? Not me.

 

[keeganbrick]

TD for Ginn...too easy.

 

[SanAntonioBuck]

TD GINN!!!!

Nice...................

 

[LordJeffBuck]

Well, looks like the O is picking up right where they left off back in January....

 

[osugrad21]

Like a knife through butter...

 

[BB73]

That TD is evidence of the improved route running from TGII that the coaches have been talking about. The DB was falling down as Ted came back for the easy catch.

 

[BrutusBobcat]

N. Illinois really has an issue with their DL size. They can't get any pressure or penetration. It's going to be a long afternoon for them.

 

[RhodeIslandBuck]

Looked too easy.....

 

[BB73]

Nice tackle in space by Brandon Mitchell.

Good coverage by Malcolm Jenkins.

 

[BrutusBobcat]

Great point, BB73. Ginn broke that guy's ankles.

 

[BrutusBobcat]

Granted, this isn't the toughest of opponents, but I like the way the defensive line is working so far. Horvath is seeing pressure every time he drops back.
