It's Buckeye week

Brutus comes to Happy Valley to play in a nationally televised game on ABC at 8pm EDT.
Since joining the Big Ten, Brutus has only won twice in happy valley. In 1995, the came in with an offense led by Bobby Hoying, Eddie George, Rickey Dudley and Terry Glenn. A bogus "no fumble" call on Eddie George let OSU escape with a victory.

Their only other win at the Beav was in 2003. Penn State was in shambles that year, but played their hearts out against a superior Ohio State team that was coming off a National Championship season.

Penn State held a 20-14 lead late, and had knocked out Buckeye QB Craig Krenzel. Scott McMullen came off the bench to lead Ohio State on a final drive, which including the following clutch "catch" by Ohio State TE Ben Hartsock:



David Kimball missed a 59 yard FG as time expired.

But enough about 2003. Ohio State hasn't lost a conference game since a magical night in Happy Valley in October of 2005.

I can't wait to see which Penn State team shows up this year vs. Brutus. This season in college football has been the year of the upset. Can't wait to Brutus to get what's coming to him on Saturday night.

For the glory...
