"Team speed" is making it's case on hornfans.com as for how Texas is going to be victorious on the 10th. The gem of the thread was:
"Unless you have "Miami" on the front of your uniform, we will not be the least bit impressed by your speed. We are the fastest or second fastest team in the nation."
We played this team in 2002 with "Miami" on their uniforms. Forgot what the game was all about though, didn't think it was for anything important...

Actually, it was 45, 51, 25, 23, 45, 27, 50 in the first seven games (38 ppg), not to mention 34 against Minnesota in the tenth game...

I figured he'd have been in with the back-ups which skews things a bit. The stat lines I've seen were 7 carries|10 yards|0 TDs. Not a terrible debut, but not what I'd expect from someone I've been hearing was going to be a threat at RB.BuckNutty said:
Will Wells and Haw be factors in our game? Looks like a situation where they'd get 1-3 touches, at most, unless they have some success.

"The biggest problem for Texas came in the kicking game.
Dusty Mangum, who kicked the winning field goal in the Rose Bowl, had to be replaced this season. Richmond McGee, the punter and kickoff specialist, took over field goal and extra point duties but missed three of his first four kicks. The last two were blocked, including one kicked so low it likely never would have made it over the line. Getting those three points could be critical in a matchup with the Buckeyes.
Other than those problems, Brown called the win the "perfect opener for us," one in which the Longhorns' won easily without having to use much of their playbook."
Can you say Duh? Who did you play again?
If UT's biggest problem is kicking the ball, then I'm putting my house on the line. The 'Horns would then be playing into Tressel's hand, and the last thing he needs is help. I just can't stress it enough, if UT plays offense, defense and NO special teams, there's gonna be a lot of pissed off Longhorns next Sunday.
Good for you, beating up U LaLa. The Ragin' Cajuns? I'm sure 85% of the team has family that has nowhere to live these days, and winning easily without using most of your playbook is ALMOST admirable. I'm sure the game was the first thing on their minds. I could walk over to my neighbors house and bitchslap their 5 year old kid, but I'd rather hide my playbook. Are you kidding me?
Have fun explaining how 60-3 doesn't matter anymore, when you lose your second game. It's fun beating up teams that can't compete, but it doesn't really help you much when the next team you play is better than your tackling dummies. Just an observation.
Just a final note here, most Texas fans (if not all) have been very knowledgeable, respectful, and courteous. I hope that each and every 'Horn that makes the trip is treated with the same class that each and every Buckeye would hope for in return. However, when we strap up those chinstraps, I don't think Mack Brown knows what he's getting his team in to. He better learn special teams, and he better learn them soon. Missing 3 out of 4 kicks is just gonna be icing on the cake for the Buckeyes. If Mack isn't careful, he gonna get his ass stomped, and may have a Buckeye leaf tattooed on his forehead a week from now.

Here is what I expect:
Facing the best defense the best defense that he will see in his college career, Young and his offense will be bottled up all day. They will be quite frustrated when they are unable to convert third downs and get less than 350 yards total offense.
I think we will spread the offense and that the running game will surprise Texas. I agree that Ginn will get more touches but I think that the offense will explode. Texas' secondary did not look very impressive against LaLa, they will be shattered by the Buckeye receiving corps.
Realistically, I think Ohio State leaves the game ranked second in the nation and that this game is less close than most people think it will be.

Wells' first carry came near the end of the opening drive of the second half, from the Miami 7-yard line, and he ran it inside the 1-yard line, barely missing a TD. Since ABC switched from the game after that, I can't comment on why he didn't fare better, but I'd guess it was because we were simply killing the clock...he looked good on that initial carry.

I honestly can't tell you which team has more talent; they are pretty even across the board when you compare them bit-by-bit. I give them advantages at Qb and the lines, but I don't think those advantages are as large as Texas fans would have you believe. The thing that would give Vince a huge advantage against some teams will not be a huge advantage against Ohio State. I'm just saying, despite the fact that "we have no idea what we are in store for with VY", the match-up against the Buckeyes' D is not that favorable to his game. I'm not too concerned with the Texas O-Line mauling our front 7, but I am slightly concerned about giving our QB time to execute the plays. Texas has good Lb and secondary play. RB's looked productive. WR's are a ? They've got a very good TE.
So, assuming the talent is pretty much even across the board, I think Texas is in for a long day simply because the game is in Columbus, Coach Tressel is on our sideline, and Greg Davis and Mack are on their sideline.
Ohio State by double digits.

Exactly, almost every single carry after his first Wells simply slammed it into the middle of the line for a minimal gain in clock eating duty. He had one run where he tried to bust it outside but got run down for a short loss. Obviously tackle to tackle isn't his strength right now, and he didn't get any oppurtunities on the edge where he would shine in my opinion.
