Todd Denlinger Returns on the DLine

With Ohio State now cruising on offense with the addition of Terrelle Pryor at quarterback and the return of Chris Wells at the tailback position, much of the Buckeye Nation disapproval has turned to the defense. This week could see an improvement at the defensive tackle position with starting tackle Todd Denlinger returning from injury.

Sanzenbacher and Small Unlikely to Play

Sanzenbacher and Small Unlikely to Play

The Wisconsin game is always a physical one whenever the Buckeyes call. It looks like a few guys are banged up which should open up some holes for the youngsters on the team. According to the Cleveland Plain Dealer, it appears that wide receivers Dane Sanzenbacher (concussion) and Ray Small (knee) sustained injuries that will likely keep them both out of the game this Saturday.

#11/12 Ohio State v. Purdue

Ohio Stadium, Columbus, Ohio
Kickoff: 3:30pm
TV: ABC

12 years ago Purdue head football coach Joe Tiller brought pizzazz and excitement to an otherwise slow, plodding, three-yards-and-a-cloud-of-dust Big Ten. Since Tiller installed the spread offense, Purdue has been at or near the top of the conference offensive statistics. A 2-3 record was certainly not the way the Boilermakers wanted to start out the season but the urgency for wins makes them a dangerous opponent. Coach Tiller will be retiring at the end of the season which makes the urgency even greater. The Buckeyes are coming off a come from behind win at Wisconsin. The Buckeyes overall seem to still be searching for an identity or a spark or both. With the Terrelle Pryor / Beanie Wells combo starting to gel, that explosion might just be a game away.

Ohio State Buckeyes quiet Camp Randall 20-17

In what was a defensive battle between two Big 10 heavy weights on Saturday night in Camp Randall, Ohio State came out on top with great running by junior tailback Chris ‘Beanie’ Wells and a great final drive by freshman phenomenon Terrelle Pryor.

The Buckeyes didn’t seem to get tight going into the fourth quarter of a very competitive game as senior cornerback Malcolm Jenkins out-jumped the fans during the Wisconsin Jump Around and then intercepted Allan Evridge in the final minute to kill what could have been a Badger winning drive.

#12/14 Ohio State v. #15 Wisconsin

Camp Randall, Madison Wisconsin
Kickoff: 8pm
TV: ABC

Was Wisconsin looking ahead to Ohio State? It sure looked like it during the second half meltdown at Michigan last week. The Badgers had the game in hand at the half with a 19-0 lead over the Wolverines but seemed to lose focus as the game wore on. How will Wisconsin react to an embarrassing defeat in a must win situation at home? Ohio State is also in a must win situation for respect after four top ten teams lost (three to unranked squads) and the pollsters not voting the Buckeyes up any spots. Had Wisconsin entered this game undefeated, an Ohio State victory surely would have increased the remote possibility of a return to the national championship. Unfortunately the game has lost some of its luster but it still means everything whe
