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

[MililaniBuckeye]

I'm saying Wolfe won't get 100+ yards rushing. Only one opposing RB has run for over 100 yards against us at home under Tressel since the middle of the 2001 season (31 games).

Holy shit really?

That is damn impressive, but of course Wolfe will make it 2.

Just out of curriosity, who was the back to get over 100 yards?

My guess is Vince Young.

My guess is Vince Young.

He isn't a RB.

Anthony Davis of Wisconsin, 39 carries for 168 yards on Oct 9, 2004.

 

[Buckeye86]

He isn't a RB.

No kidding. I thought it was a trick question.

 

[OregonBuckeye]

My guess is Vince Young.

Vince didn't get 100. He got around 70 or 60. Plus, as stated earlier, he isn't a runningback.

76 yards on 20 carries.

Yes normally "total" yards mean recieving and rushing.

And that is the only game in his career where he has played more then a half and was held under 100 yards rushing.

color me unimpressed at a prediction that the lone star on NIU's team will garner 100 'total' yards.

Did I say you should be impressed?

Besides I am sure there are some people on this board that don't think our team will get 100 total yards. Wolfe will get 100 yards rushing, I would bet on that also.

And "lone" star, haha that is funny.

 

[jwinslow]

looking forward to the list of stars from NIU that make my previous comment so humorous.

You'll see them on September 2nd. 1 of them is on my sig. The other one is our QB that was a Top 5 QB last year (he may not even be our starter), or how about our projected 1st round pick Doug Free?

Free and Wolfe may be our known stars nationally, but they aren't the only guys on our team that can ball.

 

[G-FORCE]

And please Ohio State has Smith and Ginn, and to maybe an extent Pittman, outside of that there isn't any star power.

 

[jwinslow]

sig star scored a whopping 3 tds.
top 5 qb? hardly asked to do much... (only true test was vs a decent UM D... 17-25 200 yds 0 tds 1 int). And if he's being benched, then NIU possesses two of the top-5 QBs?
sorry I didn't drool over your lineman, but I doubt he will be putting up huge yardage.

I never said the rest of the team was chopped liver. But you're reallllly stretching to call them stars.

Ehhh I didn't really call them "stars", the only guys I called stars were Free and Wolfe.

Yes you are right Free won't be going for 200 yards. :tongue2:

Britt Davis is going to be a star, the Horvath one was a stretch though.
