[NU Sports] Afternoon report ...

[SjT (Stephen J. Truog)]

Not much of a game in Columbus for the afternoon. The Illini just do not have this "team concept" down yet and looked completely disorganized and disinterested. Also, Ohio State's defense is looking better than last year, despite all those losses to the NFL draft. The D played well enough to beat USC save for one drive - if the offense ever starts playing ball, they could be back in the top spot and get a rematch in Pasadena.

Elsewhere ...

- Miami and FSU have to come north to play in the weather in Blacksburg. Pity we can't force the SEC schools to travel up north for some weather games.

- Out west, whaaaaaaaaaa??? Cal blew a big time chance to set up the SC game next week and once again, the Ducks because USC's best friend (last year vs. Oregon State) to help the Trojans back to the Rose Bowl. But after the suspension of that KO-throwing punk and the payback for the fan's trip to Boise, Chip Kelley is quickly becoming a popular coach and this is a nice turnaround from week 1!

So does that mean Minny and Cal are all overrated ... or that Purdue has a chance tonight with the DOH!mers? What a crazy game.

On to the main event in Happy Valley!

GO CATS!!!
