    I second that congratulations......great game by OSU.

    I think they answered my statement that they needed to win to avert coming to Tampa for the Outback Bowl.

    Beat Iowa and it's hello Pasadena.

    Thanks Tom & Dave.

    I was glad to see Pryor redeem himself today and should give him just that much more confidence, with Iowa coming to Columbus next Saturday.

    Our defense really played great today and Heyward was a demon!

    A bonus for us with Northwestern upsetting Iowa today as well.

    Don

    Great win for JT, the kids and staff.....never an easy place to play, but it had to be particularly sweet for TP on his first visit back. The critics - both those inside AND outside - the program have been on him relentlessy and frankly while granted he is still young has given them plenty of fodder....the pressure on his return to his home state was off the charts and I was quite concerned about his ability to deal with it mentally....

    With the aid of a very helpful gameplan - kudos to the staff - TP played his best game of the year in all facets but particularly managing to stay within himself, making good decisions and playing virtually mistake free.....this will do great things for the kids confidence and the staffs confidence in him.....

    The defensive front just dominated play from the first snap....the Nits couldn't keep the DL away from Clark, they never had an opportunity to develop any rhythm, got suffocating pressure from the front four allowing the LB to stay clean and make plays all over the field. DB's played press at will and never gave them any space.....a great defensive effort.

    In truth, I am very disappointed that Iowa lost and especially disappointed in the manner in which they lost - Stanzi going down and likely to miss the game in Columubus next week.....I wanted them undefeated at their best for the visit. He is the heart and soul of their offense and without him, they will stuggle to score, imho. I expect another low scoring smash mouth kind of game.....that's how we roll.
