The quarterback controversy is just the surface of Ohio State’s issues
One of two things had to happen in the first five games: Joe Bauserman step up because of experience, or Braxton Miller step up because of sheer athletic ability. Neither happened. Now, Columbus is on edge. The Ohio State University has a full-scale, deeply troubling issue at quarterback. And five games into the season … [Read more...] about The quarterback controversy is just the surface of Ohio State’s issues

Big Ten Football 2011 Power Rankings: Preconference Edition
One of the main storylines in the Big Ten entering this college football season was all the dual threat quarterbacks. Well so far, I'd say it's really only Wisconsin's Russell Wilson and Nathan Scheelhaase who fit that bill. Michigan's Denard Robinson did throw for over 330 yards and 4 TDs, but he is an average thrower at best. He made some really poor throws in that Notre … [Read more...] about Big Ten Football 2011 Power Rankings: Preconference Edition

Big 10 Football Season Predictions and Projections
There's four good teams in the Big Ten this season and five more that could be good or just blah. You can call it parity (just don't call it PARODY, I HATE when people make that mistake, it isn't Weird Al Yankovic playing college football here) or you can call it mediocrity.

#16 Ohio State Buckeyes: College Football 77 in 77
2010 was the year that (technically) didn’t happen for Ohio State. All 12 of the team's wins from last season will never be recorded, including a win over Arkansas in the Sugar Bowl that would have ended their all-time 0-9 drought against the SEC. The 2010-2011 offense was supposed to be one of Jim Tressel’s best. Now there is no Tressel, and three members of the starting … [Read more...] about #16 Ohio State Buckeyes: College Football 77 in 77
