Ohio State: 43 Younstown: 0 Fourth Quarter Reactions and Analysis

Fourth Quarter


This one is academic right now, but Pryor continues to show his stuff. The Bucks have been bringing the aggression all day.

Right now, I’m wondering if Tressel is sending a message to Pete Carroll and USC. All three squads have looked impressive, though not enough to convince me they can hang with the SEC yet. Ohio State still takes a lot of time to initiate plays.

Still, taking time off the clock is a tradition with Tressel’s team.

By the way, Boeckman did complete a touchdown pass, although you have to credit Brian Robiske for catching that pass under tremendous pressure and coverage.

I’d be surprised if Youngstown has gained 100 yards of total offense. It’s 43-0 now, and Youngstown is probably looking to avoid a shutout. The way they’ve played today makes it seem unlikely they’re going to score on this defense.

The guy in front of my has a James Laurinaitis throwback on, and it makes me wonder where James has been this entire game. Seems he hasn’t played too many snaps. They’re going to need to get their money’s worth out of him in SoCal.

Youngstown fails to gain positive yardage in the rushing department, and so we end at 43-0 to give Ohio State its first shutout since it blanked Minnesota 44-0 in 2006.

Overall, the offense looks good, and apparently Beanie Wells is not seriously injured, though we cannot speculate.

Next up, Ohio State hosts the Ohio University Bobcats in a game they need to take seriously even though USC comes right after it.

This is Justin Hearn signing off from Ohio Stadium and saying, “Thanks for dropping in.”
