The Buckeyes prepare to take the field for the 2008 Season.
The Alumni Band celebrated their 40th anniversary and marched through the tunnel 'just one more time'
Ohio State 43 Youngstown St 0
VS
When you shut out your opponent it is usually a great sign. When you score 43 points that is usually a great sign. But when you get inside the 10 yard line 4 times and end those drives with three field goals and a fumble, you know there will be a something to review during film time this week. And then there was the injury to Beanie. We can only wait to see if he will return for next week's game. In the meantime, we will enjoy this win and look forward to our next game against Ohio.
