I really enjoy doing the weekly fans interact! Most times I get to bring in twitter folks who I am interacting with and they appear to have some great insight’s with their tweets. This week is no different with the four I have. Give them a follow and compliment them on their work!
The jaw dropper about this Buckeye team is they are so raw. This wasn't supposed to happen. The talent and depth is sick I can't pick a fave

So Today's performance was 5th 50+ point shutout for OHIO STATE Under Urban Meyer & still undefeated when the Buckeyes score 42 or in a game

What would you say was the turning point after the slow start for the offense and why was it working?
@osusteelersjen/Jen – Getting the running game established. Mike Weber reminds me of a little more of El Guapo than Zeke. Also, the true freshman have adapted on WR, TE and RB and are able to play and score (and score and score) . The Oline has come together and is playing well as a unit.
@buckeyetxgirl/Jessica – I’ve almost gotten used to slow offensive starts by the Buckeyes but they still make me uncomfortable! After that tipped ball and interception I reminded myself JT doesn’t seem to ever get rattled, and everything would be ok. So during the second or third drive, the Buckeyes got into a rhythm. I feel like this happens almost every game. It’s like Meyer and staff can read and adapt so quickly to the defense, and once they get it, there’s no turning back.
@bhammer1965/Brad – I’m going to respectfully disagree with premise of the question the offense did move the ball & set the tone on the first drive remember they started at their own 9 yard line. JT had a little too much on the pass to Clark that deflected off him to a Rutgers db had that not happened the offense more than likely cashes in on a 91 yard drive. Defensively yes Rutgers moved the ball on their 1st 2 series but both times Defense made plays to blow it up. Was anyone really worried that The Scarlet knights were in any danger of scoring.
@JTows/Jon – They established the run game! The defense was soft on the early drives (no points of course), but once the offense got the running game established and kept the D off the field, the route was on! I hate bye-weeks. Once they “knocked the rust off” and “woke up” the team got into a groove. I can’t point to any specific play, but it was perhaps on the third or fourth drive once the O really got into gear… The O-line was opening holes and the running backs got into a rhythm!
The Silver Bullets are setting a ridiculous standard for themselves as a scoring defense and being scored against. What is the difference between this year’s version and last years NFL player laden team?
@osusteelersjen – Last years defense, 3 first round NFL draft picks, had pressure on them and it seemed like nothing was ever good enough. This year, the Silver Bullets are very aggressive and again, that talent was sitting there on the bench They just didn’t get much of a chance to play.
@buckeyetxgirl – Without knowing the official times on these players, I’m guessing they are slightly faster than last year’s version. The are better at getting no separation.
@bhammer1965 – As a group they seem to want it more & I think they got better at several positions. Baker is a far better LB than Josh Perry. Conley, Hooker & Lattimore will all 3 likely be 1st round NFL Picks to the dismay of Buckeye Fans. Should this Team do what we think they are capable of this season.
@JTows – The secondary is much more aggressive! Strong run support and excellent open field tackling, not to mention very tight coverage. Somewhere in the second quarter, it felt like the D was getting better penetration and getting more stops at or behind the line of scrimmage.
Why will this offense be able to continue to spread the wealth to so many play-makers. Explain why not if you don’t think they can.
@osusteelersjen – They’ll keep spreading the wealth, keep everyone smiling. Remember, a lot of these guys are freshmen or red-shirt freshmen, so we’ll be lucky to see their faces for the next two or three years. And to think, next years class has how many five stars????
@buckeyetxgirl – This team is so young and so hungry. Only a hand full of these guys were part of the NCG team. As a result, I think they are so grateful each and every time they touch the ball. There are so many stars yet they all support one another. They are united.
@bhammer1965 – The offense has picked up where the 2014 offense left off before JT’s injury. However how many of us would’ve love to have seen Noah Brown paired with Mike Williams last season giving Cardale a true deep threat. I really think they are going to be a juggernaut as the season goes on though. Believe it or not they actually have more weapons than last season.
@JTows – The talent on this team is amazing! They graduated so many talented players and only got stronger with younger players. These young players are play makers!
(BONUS) Is this team surprising you and what is your prediction for the rest of the season?
@osusteelersjen – I’m not surprised at this team. NFL scouts said on pro day that with what talent was leaving, the talent on the bench could still make an NFL roster. This team seems to mesh together better. I think Indiana and Wisconsin might make it close in the first half of their game, but the Buckeyes will prevail. This team will be playing in mid January.
@buckeyetxgirl – If JT stays healthy, I think they win it all.
@bhammer1965 – No anyone who has the misfortune of following me on Twitter knows I’ve said along this could be a repeat of 2014. We are at the point now where Buckeye fans will be asking who’s going to be Urban’s next Curtis Samuel , it’s safe to say he has ended the Percy Harvin question. So I will go out a limb & say anything short of a National Title will be a disappointment.
@JTows – This team is further ahead at this point than I thought they would be. I think back to the offensive line on the 2014 Buckeyes and how much they developed and progressed over the course of the season. This team is much further ahead at this point in the season. I can’t wait to see how well they perform heading into the playoffs! Of course they have a stronger schedule this year, but I believe that this will prepare them better for what lies ahead!
