The Buckeyes beat the little animals! there is always something to give thanks about and today one of them is the Ohio State Buckeyes win. The Buckeyes might have scored even more had there not been bad snaps and roughing the center (give me a break he’s the center and meant to be hit and you can’t wait around till he lifts his head).

But the Buckeyes did win and there is no doubt that they beat the little animals. And for that I can praise the Lord with my thanksgiving. But there still is the National Championship left and that calls for prayer…

THE Game

The rivalry between the Ohio State Buckeyes and the Michigan Wolverines is THE biggest in sports (just ask a fan). The big game is going to be this Saturday, only two days away and everyone that watches college football (and some who don’t) are talking about it. What is at stake is more than a perfect record of all wins. At stake is THE win of the biggest rivalry game in sports.

Who is going to win? Of course I think the Buckeyes are going to because they are my favorite, but the statistics have something to say also.

When Michigan played at Minnesota the score was 28-14. When Ohio state played Minnesota, 44-0. The Buckeyes did have a home field advantage, but the difference is too great to be ignored. Ohio State vs. Indiana; 44-3, Michigan at Indiana 34-3. When Ohio State played Penn State the final score was 28-6 and when Michigan played at Penn State 17-10. Again, Michigan played away, but the difference is substantial. This keeps going. Michigan vs. Michigan St. 31-13, Ohio State AT Michigan St. 38-7. Ohio State AT Iowa; 38-17, Michigan vs. Iowa 20-6. Michigan vs. N’western 17-3, Ohio State AT N’western 54-10.

The last one is a killer. Michigan had home field advantage and yet OSU scored 37 points more (N’western also scored a touchdown more against OSU). Another thing to consider is that the Buckeyes played second string in all of the games and some of their third string.

So all of the Buckeyes out there can be comforted that OSU is capable of crushing the little animals in the big game - but we will still be praying.

#1 Ohio State

The Buckeye’s definitely earned the #1 title against the Texas Longhorns last night in thier 24-7 win. Unfortunately the Buckeye’s kicks were nowhere near as good as Nugent’s or Houston’s kicks. Between Troy Smith, Ted Ginn and Anthony Gonzalez the Buckeyes more than made up for lack of good kicking.

Go Bucks!

The Buckeye’s first game was a complete blowout - not too suprising. I’m praying that with out a doubt they’ll prove themselves the #1 team next week against Texas.

Being a Packers fan also it is nice to see A. J. Hawk on the Packer’s roster. The Packers don’t look like they’ll have a good a year as the Buckeyes though.
