Far be it for me to second guess a coach that's already won one national championship and played for two, but I'm a sportswriter. That's why they pay me the chump change.

But I don't get some moves Jim Tressel made while up in the second quarter. There's some serious inconsistencies. For example, after recovering a fumble on a kickoff return at the Purdue 33 and going a mere eight yards on the drive, Tressel elected to go for it on fourth and two instead of kicking a field goal. Beanie Wells promptly lost three yards and they turned the ball over on downs.

Yet when the Buckeyes got the ball back with 1:47 left on their 36 with plenty of time to mount some kind of drive and essentially put the game way, they come out running and that drive eventually stalled. Gambler or conservate cleric? A little consistency please. They may have missed an opportunity to go up by at least 20.

Yeah, it would seem that the Buckeyes aren't looking to repeat history in this Purdue game. The Boilermakers typically play them close.

After one quarter it's 14-0 and the Buckeyes are dominating every aspect of the game.

Boeckman looks to be in confident and in control. He got Ray Small, the speedster out of Cleveland involved in the offense with two pass receptions and a score. That was needed to take some heat off Brian Robiskie who was certainly going to see his share of double coverage.

The Wells Brothers - Beanie and Mo - ran with authority and the special teams kept everything else in check.

How complete was the domination? The Bucks ran 19 plays and gained 148 yards to Purdue's 18 plays for 61 yards.
