You nailed the Central Michigan point total!

Ohio, OTOH, came up about 25 shy....

yeah....

Ohio either scores a bunch of points because they can run the ball or they don't. Central Michigan forced them to throw which is always a weakness in a run-oriented offense.

51 days is too long. I think USC gets an advantage by playing deeper into the season.

Whether or not that is enough of an advantage, I don't know. But I can't see that it helps to have a huge layoff between games.

I don't think it will hurt too much.

At least, historically under Tressel the long layoffs haven't hurt.

2002, 2003 and last year all had 40+ day layoffs. Just ask Notre Dame :-)

It allows the center, Datish, to have his hand heal up. The 2nd fumble against Michigan (the one that rolled along the ground) was because he has an injury on the hand he snaps the ball with.

I guarantee you that OU has done nothing for the past two weeks but sit on their ass.

Carroll will not allow a scrambling QB to take another Nat'l title away from him.

OU? I'm pretty sure Oklahoma played last week.....

Carroll will not allow a scrambling QB to take another Nat'l title away from him.

Troy Smith isn't a scrambling Quarterback and hasn't played like one all year long. That's why he's going to run away with the Heisman.

51 days.........

That's a month and a half.

Way tooooooo long a layoff between any full pad contact of significance.

The injury situation is a factor. Perhaps some folks will be back who might not have been otherwise.

And maybe the layoff will be long enough for both teams that playing competitively for a couple more weeks doesn't really make much difference.

I don't know.

But at some point, more time off is a negative.

believe me, this week they went at it like it was training camp and they will do the same next week as well...

It won't hurt Ohio State as much as you guys are saying.

......precisely why SC will take home the crystal football.

We're being civil to each other now (or at least some of us are).

I'm guessing it becomes a foodfight by January 6 at the latest. ;-)

ummmmmm right.....whatever you say. Until someone beats Troy Smith in a big game, brazen predictions like that really don't have any merit.....

BTW I looked something up for you

In 2002-03, Ohio State had a 41 Day layoff

In 2003-04, Ohio State had a 41 Day layoff

In 2005-06, Ohio STate had a 44 Day layoff

The Layoffs haven't hurt them yet. I find it a bit hard to believe that it will now given that it IS the game they have focused on all year long.

SOONER!

I can't wait. I'm going to get a pizza and drown out the world for a couple or three hours.

I won't get that bad :)

We will see how and what the matchup looks like coming up....

But one thing I noticed that I'm sure everyone else did as well - HOW did Brady Quinn get a 60 yard run on you all? I mean he's a pretty good QB and all, but that surprised the hell out of me.
