Where does this win rank?

Just curious where you thought this win ranks in terms of all time regular season wins for the Bucks. For me it's probably number 2. Number one is the 2002 win at home against Michigan. That was the win that got us over the hump with Michigan and on to the Title. I put this second. Number three is probably the 1995 win over Notre Dame. Just curious where others would rank it
 
I don't know where this win ranks in terms of importance. However, given the level of the opponent, this is probably the Buckeyes' most impressive win during the JT era. The #2 team in the country, playing at home, never really had a chance.

Especially considering that the Buckeyes under JT always improve as the season progresses....

Can you say "Holy Buckeye"? I don't think this was ahead of that.

Speaking of Holy Buckeye, anyone think of that play when Ginn caught the TD pass tonight. Looked like the same play. Fade to the left corner.

Great plays both, but IIRC, Jenkins had a sideline sprint post while Ginn had a man-to-man too but broke it for an easy in-stride out for the TD. Not really a close to the endzone fade for either.

I do love them both, though. :biggrin:

What was important tonight is that we showed that our defense isn't going to lie down this season. McCoy helped us alot with his dink and dunk, conservative approach..............but a game like this provides a confidence boost to a young defense. The scary thing is, we were rotating a lot of young guys in.......and they are going to be here a while.

This one ranks up there in the top five dating back 5 years or so.

It's certainly big...

It's certainly big, because it's a turning point showing the true winning spirit of this team. If this team goes all of the way, this game will be right under the eventual national championship game. So I would say a "Modern #3" behind NC 2003 and the as of yet played NC game, potentially.

I don't like to overreact, win or lose, in big game situations. But tonight, boys and girls, was a huge win. National spotlight, defending national champions, bitter defeat last year, and in their house? The stage does not get any bigger at this point in the season. Once again, when the lights are shining the brightest, Tressel delivers. The guy is uncanny. There is no better coach in a big game situation. As it relates to the all-time wins in tOSU history, you guys can debate. All I know is that I cannot think of any other coach that I would rather have leading the Bucks in a critical game than JT.
