Don't have much time for a write-up this week, but here are a few thoughts about last week's game versus Minnesota.

1. Beanie Wells + Terrelle Pryor = EPIC WIN!

2. When in doubt about your bowl aspirations, have faith that other marquee teams are just as capable of losing games as you are.

3. I know by the time the fourth quarter rolled around the score was Ohio State 34, Minnesota 6, but why on earth weren't the Buckeyes' third stringers able to stop Adam Weber?

There is no theme song this week because a) I didn't have time to think about one and b) I can't access YouTube at work.

Maybe I'll give you two theme songs next week (does anyone even listen to them!?).

I was ecstatic on Saturday because the Gators were upset by Ole Miss, and I'd heard on the radio that the score at halftime for the UW-UM game was Wisky 19-0. Imagine my surprise when I got home from work to find that scUM had come back from a 19-point deficit and went on to beat Wisconsin.

Honestly, I still believe that Wisconsin is still one of the top two in the Big Ten (the other being Penn State), and it really doesn't help the Buckeyes that this game is being played in Wisconsin in front of fans looking for their team to redeem itself after a surprising loss the previous week.

Of course, Ohio State hasn't played at Camp Randall since 2003, when their 19-game winning streak was snapped in a 17-10 loss to the Badgers. Fortunately, as Ken Gordon of the Dispatch points out, nobody from that 2003 Buckeye squad is still on the team, and a number of these guys on this year's squad waltzed into an always-hostile Beaver Stadium last year and killed Penn State.
