I'd add Ohio stopping Oregon in the Rose Bowl to your list, also Iowa stopping Georgia State last year is similar, although not the spread. Same idea. 

If the OL can't block the DL, you can't run it. That applies to any offense, including the Oregon (Rodriguez) spread.  Auburn, Ohio, Iowa all had dominant defensive linemen.

Tell me again the offense that isn't inconsistent compared to Oregon?

I was driving by O'Hare Airport on May 25, 1979, when AA 191 crashed to the ground and exploded, killing 273 people.
1 year 18 weeks ago We were one of the least penalized teams in the country

We were one of the least penalized teams in the country the last two years. We were around the top ten -- along with the service academies (Army, Navy, Air Force) and senior-laden teams like Wisconsin this year. Plenty to complain about RR, but penalties are not a fair reason. They are a pretty good measure of team discipline (service academies, again) and considering how young we have been the past two years, the low penalty rate is even more of an accomplishment.

Ski mask experts and all. If I were the AAPD I'd start by seeing whether the Michigan State football team has alibis for last night.

Every Michigan fan is dissatisfied with the team's record the past three (or more) years. Every Michigan fan recognizes the defense is really poor and has a long way to go.

But this is The Ohio State Week. Our knives should be turned outward. The amount of negativity, complaining, etc. is really sickening. I can't even stand to be on the other boards.

I'm going to Columbus on Saturday. I don't usually go to away games and haven't been to the Shoe since the mid-90s. But I decided to go this year. I wanted to support our team - both the players and the coaches - in the way they deserve.

There is time for discussing our coaching staff. Personally, I'm about where Brian is on this issue. Make changes on the defensive side, but don't get rid of RR. But whether or not I think the entire staff should be fired, THIS IS NOT THE WEEK for it.

An Ohio State alum, Chris Spielman, takes a shot at our defense, and the number of fans who can't agree with him fast enough just makes me want to throw up. He's a BUCKEYE, dissing MICHIGAN on the week of the game. How could any Michgan fan possibly give comfort to that this week.

Go Blue! Beat the Buckeyes!

Weather wouldn't be an issue. Or at Ford Field.

2 years 24 weeks ago Too bad only the stats are "sack-adjusted"

Some of the naysayers need it too.

Seriously, the offense was substantially better this year, despite a true frosh at QB and our best RB and best OL hurt much/most of the year.

The defensive woes are mostly explained by a shocking lack of depth and youth.

Not that anyone is happy with the past two years, but realistically it's going to get much better. It's not like RR forgot how to coach football when he left WVU.
