    Justin Fields certainly had a great beginning for his career at Ohio State this afternoon. 51 yard rushing TD and 4 TD passes. He really surprised me for his first game in the Shoe!

    I didn't see the game but looking at the stats it was a very good game for him.

    USA Today headline: Ohio State struggles after fast start. How is scoring 45 points struggling Don?

    Terry,

    Justin Fields and the Buckeyes experienced an almost perfect first quarter, scoring on their first four possessions. Things quieted down in the second & third quarters. Media is never satisfied!o_O

    Our defense continues to impress me after three games. Our rushing game appears to be back with Dobbins and Teague. Fields is learning quickly and I think he is going to be fine. Penalties have been reduced considerably this season. Last year was terrible in that regard. Coach Day looks and acts very comfortable as a Head Coach. Could be a wonderful year?:)

    I think Harbaugh has several key games coming up that will tell the tale. He's pretty much got a lifetime contract, doubtful he's going anywhere even if he loses to OSU... Again.

    The way the season has started for the Buckeyes, you have to put them on the same level as Alabama, Clemson, Georgia and OU. Just separated from the rest of the teams by roster talent and coaching.

    I'm being honest with y'all when I say I don't think this Alabama team is balanced enough to return to the playoffs. Running game is not good, defense is not as good as it needs to be. Kicking game is inconsistent. Our passing game is.exceptional if Tua can get enough time. I just don't think that is enough. If our defense gets rejuvenated then I may adjust my assessment. I truly believe defense wins championships.
