Spring Practice Update: Defense Dominates, Offense Struggles

John Simon and the defense dominated 

With the annual Scarlet-Gray spring game just a week away, the Buckeye defense seems ready for the games to begin.  The offense may be hoping for a few more weeks of practice after struggling in the storm-shortened 42-16 defeat to the defense.

The four quarterbacks fighting for the starting job for the first five games of 2011 had very below average days, combining to go 7-22 for 69 yards and multiple interceptions.  Cornerback Bradley Roby led the defense with two interceptions, while Dorian Bell had another interception and John Simon had a sack, forced fumble and fumble recovery all on the same play.

Live Blog: Ohio State vs. Georgia Tech

Preview: Ohio State vs. Georgia Tech

Editor's note: This post was actually written by Chris, but he is working from his blackberry.

Buckeyes vs Yellow Jackets 2:20 eastern time tip. Buckeyes come in at 28-7, Yellow Jackets come in at 23-12. Ohio State will be looking to get to the Sweet 16 for first time since 07. Today's match up is no given as Georgia Tech is very capable of beating Ohio State. Much like Ohio State G-Tech has a abundance of tall wing players 6'5" and up led by Iman Shumpert, who is he?, he's a point guard and has an NBA future. Where the Yellow Jackets make their living is inside, with 6'10" NBA ready Derrick Favors controlling the paint. Folks, if you haven't seen this kid play, picture a young Kevin Garnett. Same skill set and very athletic will pose problems for Bucks. The Jackets also start 6'9" Ganai Lawal who also is a very athletic, inside player. This team may be the most talented team no one knows about. They start 1 sophomore and 4 freshman but they have grown up as of late winning 5 of their last 6. 

Very, intimidating..???

Georgia Tech plays their best against top competition and coach Paul Hewitt is no stranger to success as he has had deep NCAA tourney runs before, including a title game appearance in 05. Turner needs to be a star today, and step up and if OSU takes care of the basketball they should win as G-Tech likes to turn the opponents over. Also OSU will be better suited to zone today as G-Tech is not a good three point shooting team. The key is this; OSU and G-Tech are alike with G-Tech having a much better post presence and OSU having a more better advantage from the 3 point range. OSU also has experience and talent. G-Tech has talent that is now evolving. Both teams have good, young coaches. Both teams play great defense, what gives. Will Turner carry the Bucks to the Sweet 16 or will Favors be too much for Lauderdale and Madsen?, and lead his team to the next game . This will be Ohio State's toughest match up to date in my book. I believe the winner of this game will represent the Midwest in the Final Four. My prediction Ohio State 87-71 Bucks win in an impressive showing of power and finesse. Don't forget to join us for the Live Blog at 2:15!
