The OU fans were in full force for this game and for three quarters they had plenty to cheer about
Coach Tressel must kept those offensive plays rolled up in his had and saved them for next week against USC
Ohio State 26 Ohio 14
VS
A win is a win, but this one was far from pretty. I certainly didn't like how they looked against the Cincinnati Bearcats in 2002 either, but we went on to win the National Championship that year. So for one more week, we can aspire to greatness for the 2008 season. The narrow victory did however cost the Buckeyes in the polls as they dropped from 3rd to 5th and lost all but one of their first place votes. Is there any chance that was Tressel's vote?
