By: AP via WashingtonPost.com -- COLUMBUS, Ohio — It’s reached a point where the Indiana Hoosiers just need a break to go their way. Tre Roberson had another strong game but was picked off with 4:07 left to kill a potential tying drive as Ohio State pulled out a 34-20 victory against Indiana on Saturday. “Even though it wasn’t out of hand, we needed something good to happen,” first-year coach Kevin Wilson said of his young team’s hopes. “We needed ...

By: AP via FoxNews.com -- COLUMBUS, Ohio – Braxton Miller ran for two scores including a record 81-yarder and Travis Howard ended Indiana's last chance at tying it with an interception, leading Ohio State to a 34-20 victory on Saturday. The victory was the third in a row for the Buckeyes (6-3, 3-2 Big Ten), but it didn't come easy.

By Doug Lesmerises (Cleveland Plain Dealer) -- Columbus -- Enter the world in which Ohio State quarterback Braxton Miller was a foot over the line of scrimmage instead of just behind it, or in which Devin Smith lost that 40-yard pass in the lights. A world in which Ohio State's game against Wisconsin last week wasn't remembered for a remarkable comeback but for another epic collapse. Because the collapse still happened. Ohio State's freshman quarterback just bailed Ohio State out ... Read More

By: AP via DaytonDailyNews.com -- Many have questioned how a player who has been twice suspended for NCAA violations could be named a team captain in his second game back. But interim coach Luke Fickell has no doubt he did the right thing by putting Dan "Boom" Herron in the starting lineup immediately after he came off NCAA suspension and then selecting him as a game captain a week later. "We know what kind of passion Boom has," ... Read More

By: Jon Spencer (LancasterEagleGazette.com) -- This was no accident. This was no "Hail Mary." It was a "Hail Braxton." As in all hail Ohio State's freshman quarterback and his cohorts for putting into practice what they practiced Thursday. "It was the last thing we did and it went really smooth," center Mike Brewster said of the jump ball drill that worked for real Saturday night, delivering the Buckeyes to a madcap, last-minute 33-29 victory against star-crossed Wisconsin. Twenty-eight seconds after the Badgers stunned a ... Read More

By: Mike Young (TheLantern.com) -- Allow me to feed in to the perception of arrogance surrounding Buckeye fans. Without the help of Ohio State – President E. Gordon Gee, the athletic department and its student-athletes – those wishing to reform major college athletics do not stand a chance. Facing penalties for those athletes who ran afoul of the NCAA's asinine rules, the school seems content to enforce a highly flawed system. That leaves the student-athletes to fend for themselves if ... Read More
