Ohio State Blog: 'Our Golden Boy Is Less Turnover-Prone Than Your Golden Boy!'

Our Ohio State blog, We Will Always Have Tempe, concedes that the Buckeyes’ win over Michigan wasn’t especially pretty, but takes some time to run through the positive aspects of Ohio State’s game.

This running game death-star is fully operational. Brandon Saine and Daniel Herron have become the backs we were expecting from the get-go, and they’re sometimes good enough to make up for the offensive line’s deficiences; see: Saine’s run in which the blockers got pwned, Brandon broke tackles and earned the first down by his own damn self. That’s the toughness this attack has missed without Beanie Wells.

The opportunity to send a message, though, was not capitalized on.

I’m not sure how good I should feel about this game. It’s great absolutely fucking spectacular that the streak continues, but Michigan reminded us quite well that this team still has some noticeable issues. Personally, I think this was our last chance to drop a nasty beatdown on Michigan before RichRod finally gets in a groove, and we didn’t.
