Let's Move Beyond Coaches


NastyB has a great point, there is no ownership in the coaching sphere for this game. Let's move on.

As ESPN.com's Pat Forde points out, there is ownership on the field for one football player that readers may or may not have heard of.

Forde writes today:

"The guy making the plays that have deepened Carr's worry lines into crevasses the past two years is not Jim Tressel. If there's a single Ohio State player who has roamed freely through the Michigan coach's nightmares the past two years, it has to be Troy Smith.

The first time Smith ran for 100 yards in a college game, it was against Michigan in 2004. Score: Buckeyes 37, Wolverines 21.

The first time Smith threw for 300 yards in a college game, it was against Michigan in 2005. Score: Buckeyes 25, Wolverines 21."

Smith's statistics in 2 games against That School Up North:

2 wins, 0 losses

Passing
723 yards
5 touchdowns
0 interceptions

Rushing
182 yards
2 touchdowns

Sick.

Best wishes to Bo Schembechler. The seven-time Big Ten coach of the year, with a 194-48-5 record at Michigan from 1969-89, and a career record of 234-64-8. Not too shabby Bo. Get well soon.
