Not if he keeps running 15-20 times a game. They need to start dropping some passes right behind the LBs, early in the game. It seemed as if Stoneburner was pretty much nonexistent yesterday.

He just needs to be smart about when to step out or go down. This offense is on a completely different level when he runs the football.

Stone hands is a bum!! He is slow and runs horrible routes... The huge weakness for this team is at wideout

[SunsetBengal]

Wow, Buckeyes really asserted themselves as the best in the conference the past two weeks. Nice win, go bucks!

63 pts.....that's what I like to see

[Millz]

Yeah they poured it on after that 1st quarter. The offense was non-existent until the 2nd, then bam. As the ap article on the game said, the scary thing is that Braxton is still learning the offense. Big win, go Bucks!

[Millz]

Bucks are now 8th in the AP Poll. LSU, FSU, and Georgia all dropped behind us. I dont know if we would beat those teams, but LSU would probably be the best team in the country if they had an offense and a qb that could somewhat play. That guy they have is just horrible.

[Morning Star]

What happens if they go undefeated all year..No bowl game that would be terrible...I wonder if they would lift the ban on the no bowl game..I doubt it though..I am starting to think undefeated is a possibiblity!!

The bowl ban will not be lifted.

12-0 is a real possibility at this point.

[Millz]

Yeah no reason we can't win every game. I predicted 3 losses, but winning at Mich St. and then whooping Nebraska like that said I was wrong. Just crazy how good we are when this is a total rebuilding year. We are from from National Title good, but this team in a year or two will be right there for it.

[Jasonew6]

Imagine the possibilities of Braxton Miller at RB for the Bengals in a few years.

Speed, elusiveness, and wildcat plays.

See how he throws next year, but if he improves there I would love to take him as the backup or even 3rd to be used in select plays.

[Millz]

Even though I am huge fan of Meyer, there are times I don't like how he implements his spread offense basically all the time. I would like to see Miller under center more, and using the I formation in certain situations, like in short yardage and goalline.

Take the Indiana game I am watching. It is 3rd quarter, and down near the Indian goalline ready to go up 21. Still in the spread as opposed to lining it up like the pro's would to pound it in, and interception. Now Indiana just had a big play for a TD, 31-24 now. Meyer, I like your offense and huge fan, but cmon, mix it up some and put Miller under center to pound the rock with Hyde when we need to.

[VCU Rams]

ugly finish..this is not a top ten team based on this performance.

[Millz]

Defense is definitely not good overall, and I agree VCU, we really shouldnt be a top-10 team, but due to them. Which leads me to this, is it the talent or the Fickle coordinating? If Meyer thinks Fickle can't cut it as coordinator going forward, I have to think there will be a change made before next year, since Fickle was kept on more as a courteous gesture it seemed to Fickle and the OSU fanbase.

[SunsetBengal]

Wow, that was a close one. Buckeyes showed some heart by coming back to tie,and then win in OT. Purdue always seems to give them more of a game than they were counting on.

Looks like Miller's injury could be serious.

He had a concussion. He's now symptom free and soon to be released from the hospital (if he hasn't been already).

Wow you boys got lucky.

And just seeing the incredibly small sample size, Guiton (sp?) looks 10x the amount of a PASSER that Miller is.

Miller looks like a typical college QB; Guiton's smart, hangs in the pocket, throws away when he needs to, and has an accurate (albeit weak) arm.

[Jasonew6]

Braxton has been cleared to practice this week.

I hate TSIO with the heat of 1000 suns but its good to hear the kid is gonna be OK. At the end of the day these are just college kids. I can hate the program, but I can't hate the kids who play the games.

Guiton is smart, savvy and is the epitome of 'student of the game'. He doesn't have it for the deep ball, though. Aside from that, he has the complete trust and respect of his teammates, and they remain confident when he comes into the game. He doesn't have the speed and moves of Miller, and his deep ball is a little lacking, but everything inside his helmet is A-1 material. I don't get nervous when he comes into the game.

Mhm. if you guys have some stud WRs next year, he's gonna have a gooooooooood shot at being drafted high IMO.

[Patrick D from 83]

See you Saturday night Buckeye fans. Although, its kind of a downer overall since even with us both tied for first in the division neither of us can play in the Big Ten Championship or a bowl game. I hope we both stay first and second in some order just so it has to go to a 3rd place team.

[Jasonew6]

Good win today. It was nice seeing the defense show up. I hope they can keep playing well, because Wisky and scUM are right around the corner.

[Millz]

It was a good win on the road. Defense seemed to rebound a bit, but I do wonder if Fickle will be around next year as DC. I cant see Meyer keeping him on just for the sake of it or to please the fanbase so to speak. Guess we'll see. Anyways good shot at going undefeated, though it wasnt exactly the toughest of schedules either now in hindsight.
