Brandon Saine made the most of his first start as an OSU RB by rushing for 113 yards on 17 carries. If I were Boom Herron, I would be nervous to know that the backup is performing better than me. Boom doesn't seem to find the open holes like Saine can. To his credit, Saine is fully healthy after a couple of years with hamstring and ankle injuries.

I couldn't tell if it was Indiana or OSU fans booing when Bill Lynch called a timeout with 5 seconds left in the game. Rumor has it that Bloomington traffic is terrible before and after a game. The Hoosier fans had the right idea about leaving early in the 4th quarter when the game was out of reach.

TP had a solid night throwing and running with the ball. He threw for 3 TD's and ran for another score. DeVier Posey had a great TD catch with two Hoosier players in between him. Duron Carter had a nice TD catch, but what was most impressive was that he laid out a player late in the game when TP was running on a play.

As far as Wisconsin goes, they are a classic run first football team. John Clay reminds me of Ron Dayne in terms of running ability. He's a bruiser who will lay the wood to you if needed. I don't see him running for 184 yards on our "D" like he did vs. Minnesota. The Badgers don't really impress me with their 5-0 start and they are mismatched in every category against OSU. The Buckeyes will win convincingly once again as they reach the halfway mark of the 2009 season.

Prediction: OSU 31  Wisky 10

GO BUCKS!!!
