Week 7 Gameday News & Notes
Much has been made of Wisconsin’s statistical domination of Ohio St in last week’s 31-13 loss in Columbus. Part of OSU’s absymal numbers (8 FD’s and 184 total yds) can be attributed to the fact that the offense simply could not get onto the field thanks to scores by their defense and special teams as well as two Wisconsin drives (40/5pl and 79/16pl) which resulted in 3 pts. In fact after Ohio St had an 88/7pl TD drive to take a 14-10 lead with :46 left in the 2Q, the Buckeyes offense didn’t take the field again until 1:40 was left in the 3Q and the lead was 28-13 thanks to an interception return and a kickoff return for TD’s. OSU’s offense sat out nearly 1 full quarter of action and for over an hour and 5 minutes in real time thanks to the break at the half. In fact the camera showed QB Terrelle Pryor warming up on the sideline during the 3Q awaiting the chance to get back onto the field.
I did not get a chance to get all the news and notes that I normally put up on Saturdays.
It was a busy week around the offices with the release of the ……
