I would feel ignorant if I did not begin this article without talking about the unfortunate event that transpired at our beloved Ohio State University yesterday. It is a giant reminder that life is very short and you must cherish every single breath you take. I encourage you to keep praying for the safety and well-being of all people on Thee greatest campus on earth.

Now, the moment you all have been waiting for! Our first ever edition of “Monday Morning QB”. This article is designed to highlight and break down notes from the weekend in the world of Ohio State football.

With one more week of strenuous college football action left, it remains to be seen where the Buckeyes will end up this bowl season. As I see them fit for a playoff, missing a Big Ten Championship might be a deathly blow that holds our Buckeyes out this postseason, more on that later this week.

Later Tonight….

Tuesday Chalk Talk; Top 5 Plays of Ohio States Big Win in The "Big Game "

The only thing that was crazier than the ending to the biggest game of the year, was the way in which Urban’s press conference was conducted. Before Urban could even begin to talk about the huge victory against that team up north, first lady Meyer decided to inform him on how the fridge was looking. I think that this goofy little incident, along with allowing one of his daughters to join him on stage during this interview says a lot about the character of the Buckeyes leader.

As far as the content of the interview, I was rather surprised at the content of Urban’s responses. He seemed very excited about the victory, but at the same time had a very Coach Popovich way about him that just was extremely surprising coming from the big man himself. Urban is a very energetic and outspoken person, so to see him be very passive in his responding was almost out of character. But as he said, “Championship Teams are able to get this far. And with playmakers like JT Barrett and Curtis Samuel.” By the way, the winning play was 29 lead.

My traditionalist view of Ohio State is really going to show in this small piece. I AM NOT a fan of the matte gray helmets because of the lack of the infamous buckeye leaf stickers. I thought our uniforms were a very bad mixture of new and old uniforms. With that, I did appreciate the fact that the 2014 diamond quest red jerseys were brought out for this game considering the giant playoff implications. Now my theory on the Lebron cleats is very simple, Lebron taking a shot at the University of Michigan’s Jordan themed uniforms. I appreciate Lebron’s support and am looking forward to his influence in our uniforms in the very near future.

JT Barrett continues to be the coldest blooded quarterback in the nation as he willed Ohio State to victory in the later parts of the game. JT endured a very shaky start as he had no time to pass and continued to wait for an open target in a tough secondary. Even when he did struggle with holding on to the ball early, JT decided to save the day (as if he is John Wayne in all the old westerns) and Michigan became so vulnerable as a defense. If JT Barrett is the gun slinging sheriff, then Curtis Samuel is his just as killer deputy. These two destroyed the evil that is Taco, Jabrill and Michigan Defense in the 4th quarter and OT. JT gathered 249 total yards in the air and on the ground resulting in 1 rushing touchdown. JT ran the ball 30 times and threw 32 passes, which is way too much of a load to ever expect from any quarterback in the entire nation. Bottom line, let Curtis touch the ball more and take the load of JT!

This game had more twists and turns than a West Virginia highway through the mountains. The 113th edition of “The Game” was watched lived by over 110,000 in the stands and over 25 million on television sets across the country. This top 5 matchup with Big Ten and Playoff implications did not disappoint as it double overtime to decide a winner. Luckily, Ohio State “ran away” with a victory to win a game that is one for the record books.

This game was one of odd disappointment for me. I watched our offensive line running around for their lives as Taco Charlton looked like a king against Isiah Prince. Really? You’re getting destroyed by a guy named after a wimpy little Mexican food you need 12 of to be full. Compiled with the fact none of our wide receivers looked competent regarding our pass game, as so many wrong routes and so much dropping of the football occurred. Many of these miscues and issues caused our offense to sputter and allowed the most consistent QB in Buckeye history to look so lost that not even google maps could help him. And the most helpless soul of them all is the kicker, Tyler Durbin. As much as I hate picking on kickers, come on man get your crap together. I don’t expect you to make every field goal, but 2 out of 3 would be nice.

On a positive note, I was so thankful for our defense this weekend. Every unit of the Buckeye defense looked outstanding as they dominated at the line of scrimmage and in the back ends of the secondary in key parts of the game. Jerome Baker draws visions of superman as he was everywhere on the field seemingly recording 15 tackles, 1 tackle for loss and a key interception that set up a cherry-picked touchdown for the Buckeyes. Raekwon McMillan proved Saturday that he someday will be making millions of dollars in the NFL doing what Ray Lewis made a living off, destroying a pro style run game. His team leading 16 tackles was outstanding as he kept laying the wood to the poor running backs from the north. Our most valuable asset on defense continues to be Malik Hooker. Hooker had his 3rd interception return for a touchdown this week, as he continues to be a ball hawking safety that is highly undervalued and underrated by everyone in the entire country in my opinion. Our defensive line continued to be a force of nature as they relentlessly came after Michigan’s quarterback, Wilton Speight. There is no doubt that our defense must continue to be our strength in our bowl game or playoff game coming very soon.
