1. Terrelle Pryor wasn't lying when he said he was working hard over the off season. Pryor took over the game after the early fumble from Marshall, and never looked back from there going 17/25, 247 yards and 3 touchdowns with no interceptions.
2. The Offensive line will be good this year. Two drives, and they were out. No sacks. Pushed up front, giving room for Saine and Herron to run all around this Thundering Herd team. They will face a tough and true test against Miami next week.
3. Brandon INSAINE had a terrific night, going for 103 yards averaging 11.4 yards. 11.4. Jaamal Berry had the same average with 80 yards. Berry is the man.
4. The Duo is ready, but who will step up for that number 3 spot? Posey and Sanzenbacher had great nights with a combined 3 touchdowns, and 154 yards. Taurian Washington is still known as Mr. April, and I saw no freshman that can step up. I wonder if Laamar Thomas would be in talks at this point.
5. Special Teams were atrocious. A big kick return, 2 blocked kicks (1 for a touchdown), and a couple of dumb penalties like roughing the kicker. Jim Tressel stresses special teams, so you know these guys are going to hear it from him. They can't play like that against Miami, or it will be a long night.
6. Storm Klein wasn't on the field as far as I could see. This shocked me as I had him starting after the spring season ended. Now he is third on the depth chart, and apparently got no playing time. We will be keeping a close eye on any news about him.
7. The Silver Bullets are back again, continuing they're dominance from last year. Forcing fumbles, intercepting for touchdowns, it's like no one left. Tyler Moeller and Brian Rolle were flying around the field like street football.
8. Jaamal Berry started ripping off some pretty big runs in the 4th quarter, and some people were vying for him to get more playing time. I have to agree, and although a bit biased, he is also explosive like nothing I've seen.
9. As a team, the Buckeyes seem close. I'm really impressed because it seems like they've stayed together since the Rose Bowl, pushing to get better, to get in that National Title game.
10. We saw a different Jim Tressel than before, although people will say it was Evil Tressel, I didn't feel the evilness. I felt like he feels that he needs to win games like these in a stylish manner. I think he finally understands the BCS system in a way that can help us in the long run.
