  Kurt Coleman Out For Indiana v Ohio State Game

The Senior Safety will not be able to play this Saturday when Ohio State plays Indiana due to a late hit to the head of the Illinois quarterback, Eddie McGee, in the last few minutes of last week’s game. A 15 yard penalty was called at the time and the Big 10 added the suspension on Monday. </p> <p>By Steve Patterson</p> <h2><font size="2"><strong>Moving On</strong></font></h2> <p>According to <a title="Coach Tressel" href="http://brutusreport.com/BrutusReport/tabid/98/smid/1405/ArticleId/902/Default.aspx">Coach Tressel</a>, Coleman took the news well but the feeling among the coaches and the team is to let the suspension be yesterday’s news and to move on with game planning. “Our directive was to make sure that it's yesterday's news and not comment further,” he said. Coleman will not practice with the scout team nor will he travel with the team as they go to Bloomington. Tressel didn’t give a reason why Coleman was still playing with most of the first team defense already done for the day.</p> <h2><font size="2"><strong>Replacements</strong></font></h2> <p>The opening allows Anderson Russell to regain his starting position along side Jermale Hines with 2nd string safety Orhian Johnson getting on the field when there is need for additional defensive backs in a nickel formation. Also of note is the return of Zach Domincone from injury to provide depth on special teams.The team hopes a similar penalty will not incur for the remainder of the season.</p> <a href="http://www.cpaclicks.com/secure.asp?e=atnnovpnktlk&d=0&l=0&o=&p=0&subID1=BRUTUSREPORT&subID2=&subID3=&subID4=&subID5="><img border="0" alt="" src="http://www.cpaclicks.com/imageredirect.asp?a=27739&b=70250" /></a><div class="feedflare">

  No 11 Ohio State Buckeyes vs Toledo Rockets
Posted by: Steve - 09-28-2009, 11:36 PM - Forum: Football and Basketball - No Replies

<p><a href="/Portals/0/images/%5BProvider%5D/%5BFolderFilePath%5D/WLW/397fe804055e_917D/image_2.png"><img title="image" style="border-width: 0px; display: inline;" alt="image" src="/Portals/0/images/%5BProvider%5D/%5BFolderFilePath%5D/WLW/397fe804055e_917D/image_thumb.png" border="0" width="164" height="110"></a> </p><h1><font color="#cc0000" size="2"><strong>#11 Ohio State v Toledo</strong></font></h1> <p><b>Browns Stadium, Cleveland, Ohio</b> </p><p><b>Kickoff: 12noon</b> </p><p><b>TV: ESPN Plus</b> </p><p><b></b> </p><p>It felt like you were standing there minding your own business and someone turned around and punched you in the stomach without warning. The Bucks had that game won but the defense failed to stop the <a title="Trojans" href="/Articles/Latest/LatestArticlesDetail/tabid/701/smid/1405/ArticleID/959/reftab/98/t/Ohio-State-Captains-Comment-on-USC-Loss/Default.aspx">Trojans</a> fourth quarter ending drive (see 2009 Fiesta Bowl versus Texas). The defense isn’t all to blame; Terrell Pryor and that soft pasty junior varsity offensive line left plenty of points off the board due to poor drives and lousy execution. The coaching staff is also under the microscope for not making any adjustments at half-time and not getting the team motivated to rise to the occasion. Overall, what could have been a tremendous victory just turned into the old song and dance. For as long as <a title="Jim Tressel" href="/Articles/Latest/LatestArticlesDetail/tabid/701/smid/1405/ArticleID/960/reftab/98/t/Ohio-State-Coaches-Not-Pleased-with-Offensive-Performance/Default.aspx">Jim Tressel</a> is in charge, the Buckeyes will play not to make a mistake, which means a lot of close games and few big game wins. </p><p>Ohio State meets up with a high scoring Toledo Rocket team in Cleveland Brown Stadium this Saturday for their first “road trip” of the season. This will be a nice recruiting trip…um…game for the Buckeyes since an unbelievably high percentage of OSU football players come out of North East Ohio. It was also a nice payout for the Rockets as they are trying to raise funds for a new stadium and facilities. Now after the first two games, I’m not so sure this will be the cakewalk it was once viewed as. With the Western Michigan victory over the Michigan State Spartans and the poor offensive showing from Ohio State in the last two games, you know the Rockets are thinking that an upset isn’t such a ridiculous notion. </p><h2><font size="2"><strong>OSU “O”</strong></font></h2> <p>I’m going to ride the offensive line and its coach Jim Bollman until something changes for the better. OSU consistently is blessed with much ballyhooed blue chip offensive line recruits that have performed well UNDER expectation since the Troy Smith era. They are soft. They look weak. They are not explosive. They don’t show a killer instinct that good offensive line units typically have. Until the Buckeyes can either get some talent on that line or get a new coach that can develop the young men to their full potential, we as Ohio State fans will continue to see a below average rushing attack and a quarterback who has to run for his life. Toledo isn’t a juggernaut when it comes to defense as they have allowed 493 total yards and 45 points per game. However, I believe the offense’s ineptitude will keep Toledo in the game. Prove me wrong boys. </p><h2><font size="2"><strong>OSU “D”</strong></font></h2> <p>The Buckeyes have their hands full with a high powered passing attack lead by Toledo quarterback Aaron Opelt. The Rocket offense is averaging a whopping 42.5 points and 558.5 yards per game. If you missed it last Friday the Rockets just destroyed Colorado 54-38 and the Buckeye defense is next on the menu. Opelt is a duel threat quarterback with 742 yards, 7 touchdowns through the air AND 133 rushing yards with 2 touchdowns on the ground. His top two targets are wide receivers Eric Page and Stephen Williams who combine for 451 receiving yards and 4 touchdowns. In two games so far this season, Opelt has dished the ball off to 10 different receivers and all but three have double digit yards. The Rocket running game is effective also as running back DaJuane Collins averages 93.5 yards per game. Just add cherry on top of the Toledo sundae, the Rocket’s leading rusher from 2008, Morgan Williams, is back after a two game suspension. The Buckeye defense will have to play smart on Saturday to hold the Rockets under 30 points. </p><h2><font size="2"><strong>Summary</strong></font></h2> <p>First year head coach and former Ohio State quarterbacks coach Tim Beckman wants to win this game badly and will pull out all the tricks in the book to try for the upset. This is Toledo biggest game of year and they are no strangers to beating Big Ten teams (see UT v Michigan 2008). This game is not the gimme it seemed to be at the start of the season and the Buckeyes have had their difficulties with the MAC in recent memory. This one will be closer than Buckeye Nation wants it to be. </p><p><b>Prediction: OSU 24 – UT 14</b> </p><h2><font size="2"><strong>Why OSU will win: </strong></font></h2> <p>Sustain long offensive drives and keep the high scoring Rocket offense off the field. </p><p>Don’t get hung up on last week. </p><p>Pryor will loosen up and stop thinking about making a mistake. Just be yourself. </p><p>Defensive secondary locks down the wide receivers. </p><p>The Rocket defense gives up a LOT of points. </p><h2><font size="2"><strong>Why OSU will lose: </strong></font></h2> <p>Offense line doesn’t attack the smaller UT defense. </p><p>No holes for the running backs. </p><p>Pryor runs for his life because of poor pass protection. </p><p>The Rocket offense scores a LOT of points. </p><p><b>Bold prediction for the game:</b> </p><p>Brandon Saine will get more touches than Boom Herron and we will see a lot of Jamal Berry. </p><p><b>Crazy stat of the game:</b> </p><p>Ohio State hasn’t lost to a MAC team since 1894. Back then there wasn’t a “MAC” (the MAC was founded in 1946) but the Buckeyes lost to Akron 12-6 on September 15, 1894. </p><p><b>Last time they met…</b> </p><p>Joe Germaine and an OSU coached John Cooper trounced the Rockets 49-0 in 1998. </p><p><b>Rocket players to watch:</b> </p><p>Sophomore WR #7 Kenny Stafford </p><p>Senior QB #11 Aaron Opelt </p><p>Senior RB #22 DaJuane Collins </p><p>Freshman WR #12 Eric Page </p><p>Senior WR #88 Stephen Williams </p><p>#8 Barry Church </p><p>#42 Archie Donald </p><p>#48 Brudzinski </p><p>#5 Daxton Swanson </p><div class="feedflare">

  Ohio State Buckeyes Over The Toledo Rockets 38-0

The defense continued to completely shut down their opponent similar to the way they stopped the top ranked Trojans one week ago.</p> <p>By Steve Patterson</p> <p>The only things that could draw a shadow over the nice win is the loss of Jim Cordle during the week of practice and Washington beating USC. But the play of the running backs, the wide receivers, and the whole defense for the Buckeyes makes all of Ohio feel good once again about their team. Brandon Saine (45 yards on 9 carries), Dan Herron (42 yards on 15 carries and a touchdown), and Jordan Hall (44 yards on 7 carries) all saw action at the tailback position and looked solid independently.</p> <p>Just how bad is Colorado to lose to a Rocket team that couldn’t do a thing all day against the stingy Ohio State squad. Ohio State held Toledo to only 9 first downs, converting 3-15 on third down, for a total 210 yards on the day. This is in comparison to Ohio State’s 23 first downs, 11-17 on third down, and 522 net yards. That is about as lopsided a game as they come. Ohio State had the ball 14 more minutes than the Rockets to boot.</p> <p>Terrelle Pryor looked great at times completing touchdown passes to Dane Sanzenbacher twice and once to DeVier Posey. He finished with 262 yards through the air with the three touchdowns but threw away two pass to the defense. When the pocket wasn’t stable for the Buckeyes is when Pryor improvised. If he ran forward you could expect really good results. As he finished with the most rushing yards on the day at 110 yards and one touchdown. But when he scrambled to pass is when things went bad.</p> <p>The kicking game was also slightly a miss for the Buckeyes on a day that otherwise was excellent in all possible ways. Starting punter and holder Jon Thoma was unable to play with a reported illness. This led to Sanzenbacher holding for both field goal attempts with kicker Aaron Pettrey missing a chip shot from near 25 yards away. And Ben Buchanan got to make all punts on the day averaging 42.8 yards a punt with none inside the 20. Good experience for the backups at these positions.</p><div class="feedflare">

  No 13 Ohio State Buckeyes v Illinois

The Buckeyes tasted defeat for the first time that season as the Illini shocked OSU 28-21. It’s been two years since the teams have faced off but the sting of that loss is still fresh in the minds of Buckeye Nation. The Illini are coming off a much needed early season bye week. Several key players sat out their last game and the week off allowed them to heal up. Illinois owns Ohio State in the ‘Shoe winning 4 of the last five and seven out of the last ten. It’s time to buck this trend.</p> <h2><font size="2"><strong>OSU “O”</strong></font></h2> <p>Quarterback <a title="Terrell Pryor" href="/BrutusReport/tabid/98/smid/1405/ArticleId/920/Default.aspx">Terrell Pryor</a> continued to improve but still displayed poor decision making by throwing into traffic and getting picked off twice. I’m also a little worried about Pryor’s mechanics. He still doesn’t look confident in his arm and jumped or threw off his back foot more than once. He also tried to throw the ball too much. On a broken play, an athletic quarterback needs to tuck the ball and get the first down and not sort of think about throwing the ball. Be decisive. The Illinois defense hasn’t been world beaters but they are a disciplined unit and will find holes in the soft and squishy Buckeye offensive line. If the line does its job the Buckeyes will control the clock and win handily. If the offensive line continues its recent tradition of missed assignments, implosive effort and weak play, Pryor will be running for his life and the running backs won’t have a chance to move the ball. This is the start of Big Ten season and this unit better get its act together. The Big Ten Championship and the Rose Bowl are still in our future and Saturday kicks it all off.</p> <h2><font size="2"><strong>OSU “D”</strong></font></h2> <p>This defense is shaping up to be something special. Yes it was Toledo but anytime you get a shut out against a Division 1 team is an accomplishment. Toledo came into the game ranked the number one offense in the country and the Buckeye defense made them look silly. Illinois is coming off a bye week and it’s a good thing it happened so early. Quarterback Juice Williams was banged up in the second game of the season and had to sit out and watch backup Eddie McGee put up some good numbers. Along with Juice, the Illini have seen injuries across the board including wide receiver Arrelious Benn, running backs Dan Dufrene and Jason Ford, and linebacker Matez Wilson. All but Wilson are expected to play this Saturday. The defensive key to the game for the Buckeyes is to get to Juice and knock him out of his game. He’s a serious threat on the ground and if he gets into a throwing rhythm he can be unstoppable.</p> <h2><font size="2"><strong>Summary</strong></font></h2> <p>The Illinois offense sinks or swims depending on Juice Williams and with the way the Ohio State defense has played so far this season the edge has to go to the Buckeyes. As long as Ohio State doesn’t beat themselves they should be able to handle the Illini and bring the Illibuck back to Columbus.</p> <p><b>Prediction: OSU 30 – Illini 17</b></p> <p><b>Why OSU will win: </b></p> <p>Terrell Pryor is maturing each game into a great quarterback.</p> <p>Defense shuts down Juice.</p> <p><b>Why OSU will lose: </b></p> <p>The only way the Buckeyes lose this game is if they beat themselves with turnovers and a hurried offensive attack.</p> <p><b>Bold prediction for the game:</b></p> <p>The Illibuck is coming home to Columbus.

This is their second shutout in a row following a defensive dominating performance against Toledo last weekend. The running game was back in force with Daniel ‘Boom’ Herron and Brandon Saine having very good performances and <a title="Terrelle Pryor" href="/BrutusReport/tabid/98/smid/1405/ArticleId/920/Default.aspx">Terrelle Pryor</a> scrambling for extra yards when needed.</p> <p>By Steve Patterson</p> <h2><font size="2"><strong>Revenge on Illinois</strong></font></h2> <p>Two years ago, Illinois was able to steal one in the Horseshoe from the Buckeyes to upset their perfect season but this year, a great defensive effort from Ohio State led to a clear victory and improved the confidence of the young OSU team. Dan Herron scored twice on the ground in addition to gaining 75 yards on 14 carries. Brandon Saine added another 81 yards on his 13 carries while quarterback Terrelle Pryor scrambled for 59 yards when his receivers were covered and the protection began to give.</p> <h2><font size="2"><strong>Defense Dominates</strong></font></h2> <p>The defense was the story of the game with Ohio State not allowing Illinois to gain more than 170 yards total and intercepting three passes from the Illini quarterbacks. Juice Williams finished the day with only 52% accuracy and 2 interceptions and <a title="Eddie McGee" href="/Articles/Latest/LatestArticlesDetail/tabid/701/smid/1405/ArticleID/969/reftab/98/t/Ohio-State-Buckeyes-to-Face-Illinois-on-Saturday/Default.aspx">Eddie McGee</a> was about the same with 50% accuracy and 1 interception during the late stages. Senior Defensive Tackle Todd Denlinger felt great about the shut-out after the game. "It feels great to shut them out. Illinois has a high-powered offense. They're going to win a lot of games this season." he told reporters. "We knew we had to take the game out of Juice's hands. He's a great player and killed us in 2007. I'm sure the rain probably played in our favor." he explained.</p><a href="http://www.bluephoenixnetwork.com/ez/dhokmcbyowr/&amp;subid1=BRUTUSREPORT"><img alt="image" src="http://www.bluephoenixnetwork.com/42/5870/24893/&amp;subid1=BRUTUSREPORT" border="0"></a><div class="feedflare">
