After last Saturday's performance, I'm starting to believe that the 2009 D-Line might be the very best that OSU has ever produced. I rate them better than the 2003 D-Line of Will Smith, Tim Anderson and Co. and even better than the 1996 D-Line that produced the likes of Matt Finkes, Luke Fickell and All-American, Mike Vrabel. This 2009 edition is the most aggressive unit that I've ever seen.

You have to go back to the Vrabel-led team in 1996 as the last time the OSU "D" had back to back shutouts. That was also the year that the "Silver Bullets" name was born. If the 2009 “D” can keep the same intensity as the 1996 team, something special could come from this (a trip to Pasadena).

First things first, though, as the Bucks travel to Bloomington to take on Indiana. The Hoosiers run a "Pistol" offense that gave Michigan all they could handle last week. If it wasn't for a late turnover (which Bill Lynch is still seething about), IU would be 4-0.

Ben Chappell leads the IU attack at QB and is a dual threat ala TP. Memorial Stadium has been renovated and has added some nice features for the football team, but I don't think those amenities will help their cause when they see more Scarlet and Gray in the stands than Cream and Crimson.

Bloomington is not exactly a football town. They, of course, are waiting on Basketball to arrive so they can have another losing season. I look at Iowa City, Madison and even Crappy Valley as cities that support their football teams. Bloomington is more of a bed and breakfast type of place. The 2 or 3 hotels must be full because the Buckeyes will stay in Indianapolis on Friday and travel to Bloomington on Saturday.

I don't believe the Buckeyes will suffer any sort of setback as TP will have a field day with his arm and legs. Boom Herron will extend his TD streak to 9 games after Saturday. This will be a yawner from start to finish.

Prediction: OSU 45  Indiana 7.

GO BUCKS!!!
