It’s not often that I reminisce about my glory-days of college football, but yeah, I played college football for the Pioneers of William Paterson University, and I’ve been an Ohio State Buckeye fan since 1995.
Basically, my love for football is probably the only thing that can pull me out of this wonderful astrological rabbit hole I often find myself in. And, it’s that time of year already, so let’s get into the briefing.
Ohio State, Rutgers, and Minnesota opened up with conference wins this past weekend. The Buckeyes stole a victory on the road against Indiana, Rutgers was impressive in their 24-7 win over Northwestern, and Minnesota barely squeaked past the Cornhuskers in their 13-10 win-but hey, a wins a win.
The 5’9″ 227 pound senior tailback, Miyan Williams, stood out in Ohio State’s win over the Hoosiers on Saturday, September 2nd. His 3.6 yards-per-carry-average was decent, but then again, he only touched the ball 7 times, however, his two touchdowns accounted for 12 of Ohio State’s final 23 points.
Buckeye QB, Kyle McCord, completed 20 of 33 passes and threw for 239 yards. Not bad.
Oh, and I do have to admit. Indiana did force a fumble late in the second quarter with that hit on McCord. Perhaps, that could’ve changed the momentum the game. Instead of going into the locker room trailing 10-3, the Hoosiers would’ve only been down by 4 against the 3rd ranked team in the nation. That’s definitely something to be proud of and build off of for the second half, but..
Next week, Saturday, September 9th, Ohio State will host Youngstown State at 12 o’clock noon.
