81,112 people poured into a cold and rainy Ohio Stadium Saturday afternoon to watch the Urban Meyer era begin. Scarlet edged out Gray 20-14 lead by Braxton Miller, Ryan Shazier and Michael Thomas.
This was officially the first time Buckeye fans and the rest of the college football world got to see Urban Meyers offense, though it was a shell of it’s actual self.
If you like a wide open, fast paced offense this Urban Meyer lead offense is for you.
I got the opportunity to watch an open practice today and what a great experience it was. It was held at the Woody Hayes Athletic Center due to the wonderful central Ohio spring weather.
From our friends at WOSN:
A lot of great video of the new look offense in action:
The class of 2012 for Ohio State started off with a popcorn fart and ended with a thermal nuclear style bang. Ohio State had a disappointing recruiting class under interim head coach Luke Fickell. The Buckeyes were losing key recruits like Kyle Kalis, Kyle Dodson, Se’von Pittman, Taylor Decker among others that would have been locks to be Buckeyes.
…at the end of the tunnel.
His name is Urban Meyer and he will be responsible for putting to bed on of the darkest periods in OSU football history. The last time Ohio State’s football team lost 7 games the state capitol of Pennsylvania was destroyed in a fire.
Call it what you want:
The .500 bowl
The Gene Smith is a Retard Bowl
The Mediocrity Bowl
The Please Just End the Season Bowl
The Sponsors call it the TAXSLAYER.com Gator Bowl. I like mine better.
4 Years ago these two teams played a meaningful game, we all know how that one ended.
I wonder if Urban Meyer could use such a player…hmmmm…
Nov 30, 2011 – The Big Ten Conference announced on Wednesday that Ohio State quarterback Braxton Miller was chosen as the Thompson-Randel El freshman of the year. The true freshman is the inaugural winner of the award, named for Minnesota’s Darrell Thompson and Indiana’s Antwaan Randle El.
At Bowling Green Meyer had a guy named Josh Harris. At Utah he had Alex Smith, and at Florida he had Chris Leak and Tim Tebow and at Ohio State he will have Braxton Miller for the next three years.
In 2001 when Meyer became the head coach of Bowling Green he packed up his favorite Trapper-Keeper and hit the road.
This year marks the first ever Big Ten Championship game thanks to the addition of the Nebraska Cornhuskers. One of the reasons I absolutely love the idea of a playoff in college football is because I believe it would make the regular season that much more entertaining and add drama to an already action packed fall.
Three yards and a cloud of BOOM!
The Ohio State Buckeyes hunkered down and punched the Illinois defense in the face. Illinois took 51 shots to the face, gut and kidneys to a tune of 211 yards. Coming into the game Illinois had the 9th ranked rush defense in the country.
This is what the first half of the year has felt like for Ohio State players, coaches and fans:
Ohio State has been very average this year. There is no other way to put it. There is plenty of blame to go around.
17 Pass Attempts
4 Completions
35 Yards
1 Interception
Here is a picture of Ginger Von Incompletion awkwardly firing a pass 87 rows into the crowd:
That is what the OSU passing game could muster vs. the Hurricanes. 23 of those yards coming when the score was already 24-6 with 30 seconds left.
vs.
For a better part of a decade Miami Hurricane fans have been complaining that the passing interference call vs. OSU was BS. Let’s get this out of the way early:
Now, onto Saturday’s primetime game.
The Al Golden era has begun in Miami.
