Daniel Herron, who hadn't played since the Sugar Bowl in January because of NCAA suspensions, ran for 114 yards and a touchdown in his return Saturday to lead Ohio State past No. 16 Illinois, 17-7. With true freshman Braxton Miller at quarterback, the struggling offense of Ohio State (4-3, 2-1 Big Ten) counted on Herron against Illinois (6-1, 2-1). The Buckeyes didn't complete a pass until Miller hit Jake Stoneburner for a fourth-quarter touchdown and a 17-0 lead. The Buckeyes' defense forced three turnovers and turned two of them into their only touchdowns. Herron's 12-yard touchdown run followed an interception by Bradley Roby and put Ohio State up 10-0 in the third quarter. Illinois quarterback Nathan Scheelhaase was 20 of 34 for 169 yards, two interceptions and a late TD pass.

Perhaps we have seen the best of Braxton Millier and The Ohio State Buckeyes during the first half of last weeks Buckeyes loss. The real question is can Braxton Miller help the Buckeyes to win today when they play Illinois today. Sadly I think not. Illinois is coming into today’s game at 6-0 on the season while the Buckeyes sit at 3-3. Miller is going to have one rough day...

Woody Hayes would be proud. Sort of. The Ohio State Buckeyes partied like it was 1969 as they pounded Illinois into submission with a physical defense and a solid running game, winning 17-7. The Buckeyes spent most of the day in the power-I, and Dan Herron returned to the lineup to lead the running attack. Meanwhile, Braxton Miller completed only one pass in the game – a touchdown...

The good, the bad, and the ugly: Ohio State’s first half of the season

Via The Sports Bank  |  October 14, 2011
The Good: Believe it or not, there are good things coming out of this season for Ohio State. The problem is, most of the good is looking towards the future; and most of it concerns Braxton Miller. Though he struggled early, the highly touted freshman is beginning to come into his own. His arm is obviously not developed yet, but the athleticism is there in full. At Nebraska, Miller...

Ohio St. Buckeyes Give Illini 1st Loss of Season in Boring Game

It was ugly, and anything but exciting. Still, Ohio State gave the Illini their first loss of the 2011 season. Buckyes QB Braxton Miller didn’t even complete a pass until 13:06 left in the fourth quarter, when he found TE Jake Stoneburner in the middle of the south end zone to put OSU up 16-0. Prior to that play, Miller was just 0-3 passing on the day. The Buckeyes were BORING...

For a change, Ohio State's quarterback controversy isn't centered on who will start. Braxton Miller is healthy enough to take the first snap when the Buckeyes travel to play at No. 16 Illinois on Saturday. Interim coach Luke Fickell said Miller has been working out with the team and doing everything he needed to do to show he's fully recovered from a sprained right ankle...

College Football Upset Alert: Week Seven

Via Rant Sports  |  October 15, 2011
Baylor @ Texas A&M Texas A&M has had some trouble slowing down opposing quarterbacks this year, really struggling against teams that can effectively throw the ball.  That’s bad news as Baylor and quarterback Robert Griffin III comes to town.  These two teams really like to spread the ball around, so this shootout will likely be won by whoever can play more effective pass...

Just Take the Ball and Run It; Let D Handle Receptions

Via The Buckeye Blog  |  October 16, 2011
Works for me. Complain about the Ohio State offensive coaching staff all you want but somebody must have done their homework this week. Either through intensive film study or just dumb luck, they realized that the Illni were all but powerless against the likes of Boom Herron and Jordan Hall. Herron carried the ball 23 times for a total 114 yards while Hall and quarterback Braxton...

Ohio State Football: Defense Redeemed as Buckeyes Top Illinois

Via isportsweb.com  |  October 15, 2011
At times, it felt like one of the ugliest games televised this season.  But it ended in their first Big Ten win of the year, so the Buckeyes will take it. Ohio State had a grand total of one pass completion, running the ball 50 times against four attempts for quarterback Braxton Miller.  How that imbalance equated to a win can be calculated by examining a tremendous defensive performance...

So far it has been a dismal football season for The Ohio State University football team. Will the addition of Mike Adams really make a difference? Will Braxton Miller continue to improve? Can Boom Herron show up and will he be ready to play and be an influence on Offense? Can the Defense play well when they are needed most?Actually my Quarterback of choice from the get Go was...
