Buckeyes are back, sort of

The Ohio State Buckeyes got a much-needed win yesterday, defeating Michigan State 35-24 in Columbus. OSU benefited from a freak play at the end of the first half. After Nate Salley blocked a rush-job field goal attempt, Ashton Youboty took the ball 72 yards down the field for a Buckeye touchdown. Receivers Santonio Holmes and Ted Ginn, Jr. looked like their old selves, scoring touchdowns.

I'd like to celebrate the return of the Buckeyes, but it seems premature. Even though the offense stepped up in the second half, it's still unpredictable and inconsistent. If OSU runs the table, it can win the Big Ten championship. I'd love to see that happen; however, I'm not sure if this group is really up to the task.
