[lvbuckeye]

wow. great run by Mendenhall... we may have ourselves a ballgame...

 

[osugrad21]

Eh, so much for that blueprint...

:)

 

[Deety]

That's what they needed to inspire a little confidence.

 

[Best Buckeye]

The two most used words about the B10 by the talking heads after we win next week will be "got lucky" :tongue2:

Eh, so much for that blueprint...

The blueprint only works if the defense wraps up. :)

Nice run by Mendenhall

That's what throwing downfield can do for their offense, even if they aren't always completions.

 

[Mike80]

USC hasn't looked right on offense since the INT that nearly was returned for a TD....

 

[BengalsAndBucks]

This after they spent mega-dollars on Dan Wilkinson and KiJana Carter, both of whom were major busts.

Anyone who thought that Wilkinson was going to be a bust in the NFL didn't watch college football. One of the most dominant D-linemen I have EVER seen.

 

[buckeyebri]

Now B10 linebackers are slow and we get beat in space....

 

[Tonyank]

A stop here on 3rd would be BIG!!

 

[Mike80]

They got it....

Now things get REALLY interesting if Illinois can move the ball again....

Nice job by Herbie continuing to perpetuate the speed myth with the Big Ten. It's one thing when he's being objective, but it's another when he subscribes to a false theory that's, for a lack of something more eloquent.... fucking stupid.
