By the way, was anyone else as impressed as me with our O Lines' ability to pick up the blitz yesterday? That struck me early on, and I was very happy with the way they played.

I was impressed with how good the protection was. From my seats, it was often difficult to see when a blitz was coming, but Zwick would drop back, sit in the pocket a few seconds, take a step over here, throw a nice-looking pass, usually for a completion. On the interception, it looked to me that he got a lot of pressure early in the play. I may be wrong about that, though. A couple of other plays, he got a little pressure, but he was able to deal with it.

I think that if the Bucks can protect that well against Texas, we'll see a Buckeye victory on the order of 34-14 (yes- the 14 will come at the end of the game with 2nd and 3rd string players).

Looking back at some replays of the game, I was EXTREMELY impressed with the O-line. I haven't seen our OL look that good in a loooooong time. Made Pittman's day a lot easier. I can only hope they look that impressive on Saturday.

By the way, I missed Sims' neck roll. I'll look for that this weekend!

Anytime one of our RBs gets 100 yards ina game, I not only salute his efforts but the efforts of the OL. Though they totally overmatched the Miami line, it was a good way to start. The true test of our OL will be next week when we play against one of the nations top 5 DLs. If Pittman can get 100 yards next week, then THAT is a performance!
