Husky Retrospective - Video and Game Analysis

When I wasn't spellbound by Jack Arute's spiked hair (Jimmy Clausen in 40 years?) or by the fish innards on his sport coat, I spent my Sunday afternoon re-watching Saturday's football game. It's always a little more fun to watch these games again when they combine elements like:

a) Phenom Freshman QB
b) Road Game
c) Packed Crowd
d) Ed Cunningham watching his alma mater getting hammered.

By no means was Ohio State a well-oiled machine versus Washington but who would have been with that crowd? They were so jacked the cameras were shaking for the entire first quarter. It's place that is tough for anyone, including USC who escaped last year 26-20. We have things to iron out but Ohio State's 33-14 win was workmanlike if not impressive. The voters thought so, too.

My game analysis and Play of the Week selection are online. I touched on a few topics including the new formation employed by the offense and a semi-rebuttal to those think Ross Homan deserves more time over Marcus Freeman. Oh, and you fellow bloggers who thought Laurinaitis was the most overrated player in the B10 should re-evalauate the selection. I'm not sure what else JL needs to do to change opinion because his performance may be the best by any linebacker all year.

With the win, Ohio State moved to 22-1 in their last 23 games.
