Ohio State 23, Purdue 7 (final)

Its obvious your not familiar with the recent OSU/Purdue history then....

Purdue has played us tough over the last decade (six games) because they didn'tplay us when we had our juggernaut teams (1997, 1998, 2005, 2006). The other six years they played us (1999-2004) we were either mediocre overall, or in the case of our 2002 NC year, or simply had no offense and had to win purely on defense. Our defense this year is far better than any of the 1999-2004 teams with the exception of the 2002 defense, and our offense may be better than any of those teams. So, in reality, "recent" history means squat right now.

Ding, ding, ding...we have a winner!

I believe the team knows what is in store for them and will be ready.

Buckeyes wary of Purdue veterans
Strong OSU defense meets strong offense

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. - It can be as simple as two guys tugging on opposite ends of a rope, each trying to topple the other.

Or as complicated as one sophisticated computer program matching wits with a similar model that was designed to outfox its codes with sequences that are just as intricate and complex.

Strength against strength.

The best offense in the Big Ten Conference at this end of the field, and the best defense in the league at the other.

En garde. Gentlemen, start your engines.

:oh:
