Scout.com: Ohio State blasts Northwestern 58-7

Sept. 22Ohio State 58 ... Northwestern 7
Ohio State ended it before everyone got settled in their seats. Brian Robiskie caught touchdown passes from 42 and 28 yards in the first four minutes, and later added a 19-yard score. The running game got into the act with two short Maurice Wells touchdowns and a 36-yard Chris Wells dash. Northwestern was held to 120 yards of total offense and only scored on a 99-yard Sam Simmons kickoff return for a touchdown to open the second half.
 Player of the game: Ohio State WR Brian Robiskie caught three passes for 89 yards and three touchdowns.
Stat Leaders: Northwestern - Passing: C.J. Bacher, 17-32, 120 yds, 2 INTs
Rushing: Omar Conteh, 15-28. Receiving: Eric Peterman, 6-61
Ohio State - Passing: Todd Boeckman, 11-14, 179 yds, 4 TDs, 1 INT
Rushing: Chris Wells, 12-100, 1 TD. Receiving: Brian Robiskie, 3-89, 3 TDs
 Whoopty doo. What does it all mean, Basil? ... The more the offense can open things up early, even against teams like Northwestern, the more confidence it'll get as the year goes on. That's two straight games Brian Robiskie has turned a game around with a deep touchdown, and now he'll have to be the focus of every defensive coordinator to make sure he doesn't end things with a home run. That opens up things that much more for the ground game. The defense is dominating with yet another tremendous performance. This is the best team in the Big Ten right now, but the D will be in for a test, after the date with Minnesota, when Kent State comes to town.​

WVU still has "something to prove" and that's about it. Today was a good day. I didn't even have to use my AK.

I'm sure it was hit on earlier in the thread, but how hillarious was the animal? That's one of the funniest things we've pulled out in years.

They've been using it since game 1, so it probably didn't generate much chatter today.

Ohio State's Todd Denlinger, left, and Vernon Gholston tackle Northwestern quarterback C.J. Bacher for a loss.



The game might have been a mismatch anyway, just because Ohio State is pretty darn good and Northwestern is Northwestern.
But the Buckeyes' coaching staff wasn't leaving anything to chance.
So first they compiled video of 2004, when the Wildcats upset the Buckeyes and stormed Ryan Field afterward. That stoked the fire.
"We had plenty of motivation," Ohio State offensive tackle Kirk Barton said.
Then they implored the players to show the Wildcats some Buckeyes-style hospitality.
"(Coaches) have been telling us all week, 'They can't play with us, so be physical with them and they'll eventually fold,' " said linebacker Brian Rolle, who had two bone-jarring tackles on special teams. "And that happened pretty quickly."

Ohio State 58, Northwestern 7
The Bottom Line

THE COLUMBUS DISPATCH

Kids watching too much violence on television is such a problem these days. Thankfully, while OSU was dismantling Northwestern, the video store had a copy of Pulp Fiction for the young-uns' sensitive eyes. Leaves are awarded on a zero-to-five basis.
Offense (4 leaves)
The Buckeyes weren't wearing the crispest uniforms in their closet, but (familiar theme alert) Northwestern certainly didn't press matters. The offense rolled up touchdowns (seven) and yards (396) like it was a controlled scrimmage, which it was, more or less. Can Beanie go next week?

Bob Hunter commentary: There's little to enjoy in these type of drubbings

Sunday, September 23, 2007 4:13 AM
By Bob Hunter


THE COLUMBUS DISPATCH

Winning is always supposed to be fun, isn't it?
But if a high-schooler stiff-arms his 7-year-old brother to the ground in a sandlot game -- an unsightly scene that pretty much describes Ohio State's 58-7 mauling of Northwestern -- how good does that feel?
The 105,178 who attended yesterday's glorified scrimmage, the 12th-largest crowd in Ohio Stadium history, were remarkably -- one might even say sensibly -- quiet for most of the day.
After quarterback Todd Boeckman completed 28- and 42-yard touchdown passes to Brian Robiskie in the first 3? minutes of the game with about as much opposition as they could find tossing the football at Schiller Park, the crowd picked up on what was going on here.
