That was quite a shellacking; 62-24 was it?
If you listen to the pundits, Tommie Frazier ain't got nothin' on Troy Smith.
Smith's a cool, smart quarterback and the Buckeyes form an impressive supporting cast. Still, Ron Zook's Illini--of all teams!--came closer to beating Ohio State this year than Buckeye fans care to have anyone remember.
On any given day . . .
I suspect Urban and the Zooker have spoke a few times on this subject.
Speaking of the Zooker, he's doing a pretty good job recruiting this year at Illinois. He's a good recruiter, players genuinely like him, but he tries too hard to be a player's coach, and that just doesn't work.
Ummm. That wasn't close to beating. Illinois didn't even make it onto the OSU side of the field until near middle of the 4th quarter. It was 17-0 for quite a while with a field goal scored late then a TD scored in garbage time. After the TD, Illinois got the ball back at their own 2 with 4 seconds left, still down by a TD. This in a game where OSU had their offense shut down in preparation for the UM game.
