Malcolm Jenkins comes up with up with a nice pick to start the second quarter and Todd Boeckman looks as if he wants to give it back by throwing into double coverage.

The Buckeyes had a whopping 28 yards of offense in the first quarter on 15 plays. That's not ugly, that is freakin' scary.

Ohio University puts together the best drive of the day to go ahead 7-3 with 6:56 left in the half. I don't want to be the purveyor of doom and gloom, but can you say Appalachian State? Are the Buckeyes sleepwalking during this game or what? Did they expect that they would not have actually show up?

That's what it looks like.

OU 7, OSU 6. End of the first half. About the only thing the Buckeyes can take solace in the fact that the defense - except in a couple of breakdowns - is as advertised. Akron native and defenisve end Lawrence Wilson is a straight out beast and his partner Thad Gibson, a Euclid native, has impressed as well. Both have been quick, tenacious and disruptive.
