Bad snap in the shotgun inside the 10 yard line, ball in the endzone, boom, score Ohio University 14-6 OU. To say this is not good would be mild. Extremely mild.

This is the No. 2 or No. 3 team in the country? After the butt whupping that USC laid on Virginia last week we're supposed to believe this is a contender for a national championship? Even if they pull this out, they're not contenders for a national championship. Right now, they look like a loosely assembled group of ball players looking for someone to step up and show them how to win. This is not what you expect from a team that returns more than 20 starters on both sides of the ball.

Yes, it's beginning to look as if the Buckeyes will eke out a win here, but I'm almost fearful of what will happen next week in SoCal. Gee, couldn't you guys tell that from other comments? Jim Tressel likes to talk about learning from every game. The Bucks will have plenty to learn about themselves from this one.

One person who really needs to study the film is quarterback Todd Boeckman whose decision making has left a lot to be desired. He's thrown into double coverage more than a few times, including on a pass in the endzone that could have easily been picked up.
