Game Thread Ohio State 58, Northwestern 7 (final)

The defense now has 2 shutouts this year (not the TEAM, the defense)

This game was a total mismatch, physically. This was Mike Tyson vs Marvis Frazier. Dr J on a breakaway against Larry Flint in his wheelchair. NO CONTEST!

There were more big hits in this game than I can remember in a single game. Even Jack Tatum might have had trouble winning the Jack Tatum hit-of-the-week award.

Gene Clifford's tackle attempt on their TD was WEAK. I was Leon Hall weak. It was Notre Dame weak. It will also be the last time you ever see that out of Gene.

Beanie now has 3 straight games of at least 100 yards. Only 28 more to catch Archie!

Even after all the in-camp ravew reviews of Chekwa, I have to admit I was very skeptical. No longer. He is in the right place seemingly every play, and now he's starting to make plays on the ball, too.

How would you like to be on the staff of Minny or Kent St reviewing our game films s far? And
Purdue knows they are going to get a "full taste" of our scheme.

How many ways are there to run a freaking screen pass? NU tried them all, that's for sure. If Purdue's scheme is similar to NU's, then it won't be basketball on grass, it will be another prison rape on grass.

What if Brian Rolle had legs another 3 inches long instead of those little munchkin ones? Scary!

I love Northwestern's high socks look. I wish we'd bring it back.
I like that look too.. the high white socks, i thought always looked sharp. Especially with our white uni's..

I think I speak for everyone when I say, about freakin' time! Although, I would think Tatum would have no problem winning the award.. :biggrin:

I guess JT is sending a message to NW, post-2004. Mail it in. Don't even try. We're here to bury you ...

Some three year cumulative stats:

Game score: 160-24
# of NU punts blocked: 3
# of OSU punts: 5
# of OSU 4th down conversion attempts: 6
# of those conversion attempts while already up 35+ (5TDs) points, and in FG range (NU 33 or closer): 6

I think that last line qualifies as 'rubbing their nose in it.'

i realize that stats speak volumes; particularly in this case, given JT's style. and while i realize no loss is easy, particularly the opening loss in a difficult 2004 season (to northwestern no less) but... it still makes no sense that JT would continue to tear away at this ghost from what seems like such a long time ago.

in other words, why in the world would JT, the mr Hyde of college football, pick THIS annual meeting, from all the others with other teams, to bring out "Dr Jekyll"? there's gotta be something more in there than just an "intrinsic" hatred of the mildcats. :wink2:

No they just suck... And the Buckeyes can't help that the score on the Cats ALOT! :biggrin:
