I didn't expect the defense to be this good after loisng 9 starters of last year.
We are fortunate that Tressel substitutes liberally & none of these "no-name" guys are shy about playing time, as they have all already had quite a bit, & aren't nervous about playing in front of 105,000 big mouthed brad4dboxer types.
I'm more concerned with the firepower we have on the offensive side of the ball getting on the same page.
Last year, Ohio State had loads of talent offensively, but didn't really prove it till the end of the season.
(Against the Irish... ((sorry))

I always will respect Notre Dame, & I think their Footbal Program is now on the right track.
Love Coach Weis.
Bradey Quinn grew up about 40 miles from me & I think he is a flat out stud.

IMO if Notre Dame can get past their 4 straight weeks against Big Ten opponents, & Buckeye Football can beat teams that they are better than (all of them), it could be a repeat of the Fiesta Bowl last year.
Weird that we didn't play each other for 50 years & then 3-times so far in the last 10 years.
When ever Ohio State plays Notre Dame it is good for NCAA football.

Good luck this season amat.
CC. Class approach. If roles were reversed, I would have made just bragging about the Irish victory

True about the defense though. As much as I dislike him, Tressel is a brilliant coach. Also good point bout the offense getting on track. For most of the year, Ginn was scary in a "what if" could of way. Kind of like Reggie Bush was in his early USC career.

That Irish schedule is brutal though. I love the fact that they're on tv each week for me here in California, but USC, Michigan, MSU, Penn State (who I'm REAL scared of with their speed at wideout). Not to mention that about every game in between is a trap game.
