If the Bucks play consistently like they did in the first quarter of this game, it will be a long season for their opponents. NIU didn’t give up and Garett Wolfe is the real deal, gashing the OSU D for 172 rushing and 114 receiving yards. Our D will have to show improvement for next week’s opponent, the University of Texas at home (Austin, Texas.)

Aside from a masterful performance by the offense overall and by Troy Smith in particular, there are two major concerns for next week’s game. Rushing defense and place kicking. Neither showed well today.

Congrats to the Scarlet and Gray on their first victory of the season.
