With Ohio State’s 24-7 win at Penn State in the rearview, and another big one coming up with Iowa at home Saturday, my Suburban News colleague Chris Galoski and I sat down to talk about all things OSU.
Both of us were especially impressed by Terrelle Pryor’s exploits in his home state, as well as Cameron Heyward.
Multiple times I had to stop myself from declaring the league all but won, but with Ricky Stanzi sidelined with a leg injury, it’d appear that the Buckeyes have the inside track to win their fifth consecutive, yes that’s five, Big Ten championship.

NFL Picks
Wow, as a fan it doesn’t get much better than to see your favorite college football team (Ohio State) win a tough road game, your favorite NFL squad (Bengals) pick up a big division win and then, to put a cherry on top, to see your favorite college basketball player (Evan Turner) lead his team (Ohio State) with a triple-double in a win in the opener!
All that covers up my lack of skill in making NFL picks.
Congratulations to Jeff, who correctly picked 10 games correctly, while coming within one point of the overall score of 38. Kara and Will Will also got 10 games right.
***ALERT*** THERE IS A THURSDAY NIGHT GAME THIS WEEK. PLEASE GET AT LEAST THAT GAME’S PICK IN BEFORE IT TAKES PLACE. IF YOU DON’T GET IT IN, PLEASE MAKE PICKS FOR THE OTHER GAMES ANYWAY!
