Yep ..a local player from Piqua High School Brandon Saine …gets his 1st 100 yard rushing game in a Buckeye uniform . The 6’1” 220 lb RB was Mr Ohio football in 2006 . The Buckeyes are Tough …And we will see the Bucks in the 2010 Rose Bowl on Jan 1st in Pasadena ,CA . Possibly against the Texas Longhorns or Boise St Broncos because the Trojans will be in the NC vs the Gators . Go Buckeyes !By kontender

I agree Duron Carter had the Jack Tatum hit of the week. Good to see a receiver blocking like that. I heard an audible groan from fans, then we tivoed back to see the hit. It was outstanding!By jack

boom is not a bum, he just cant break a tackle, ala mo wells. Saine should start every game. 3 or 4 more carries against illionois he would of had 100 yards that game to.By jason oliver

Agreed, I was at the game as a photographer and the hit that Carter put on the IU DB in front of the OSU bench was hands down the way Tatumn would have done it. Being that close to the players I came away impressed with 2 guys over everyone else, as far as size and look. Sabino and Ballard are absolute beasts. Sabino is hands down the stud of the young backers. If anyone is interested I am going to post my photos on my site and share for free. If you are e-mail me at halestorms33@aol.com
