Ohio State 38 Toledo 0

From the Opening Kickoff
- Ohio State's defense held Toledo's Aaron Opelt, leading the nation in total offense with 437 yards a game, to 181 yards.
- Opelt had to throw the ball away on four of the Rockets' first six plays.

Offense As Usual?
- Ohio State's First Drive: (1st Down) Pryor Incomplete. (2nd Down) Herron three yard rush. (3rd Down) Pryor to Sanzenbacher for a 76 yd. Touchdown. It looked like the normal OSU offense until T.P. actually found a wide open Dane Sanzenbacher. Crazy, I know.

"Air" Pryor
- Pryor threw for a career-high 262 yards
- Pryor set career bests in completions and attempts (17 for 28)

Defense on a Rolle
- Brian Rolle continued his dominant play defensively. He pressured Opelt all day. Showed his skill against the run and in pass coverage. His closing speed is a game changer.
- The Buckeyes held Toledo's high powered offense that entered into Saturday averaging 558 yards to 210 Total yards.
- This D-Line could win the Big Ten for the Buckeyes.

Don't Be Fooled
- Although Pryor accounted for 372 yards including 262 through the air his decision making is still yet to be desired. He forced too many passes into double coverage and was saved only by the simple fact that the Buckeyes were playing Toledo.

Pocket Presence
- This season Pryor has put an emphasis on becoming a better pocket passer. His only problem is that he can't find the pocket. When Pryor is faced with pressure from the edge he has not yet learned to trust his offensive line and step up in the pocket. Then again what Buckeye would...

Final Verdict
The Buckeyes responded well after a heartbreaking loss to USC. But was does a 38 to 0 victory mean for OSU? Nothing. Looking at the positive, at least it did not add them to the list of Big Ten teams that can not beat MAC schools.

The Buckeyes take on the Illinois Fighting Illini this Saturday... Should be fun.

Twelve Hours and Ten Minutes til Kickoff...

That being said- I'd like to give you all a little bit of inspiration to take with you tomorrow as you make your way into the 'Shoe or turn on your televisions to watch Senator Glenn dot the i.

Time for Redemption O-H-I-O style!
