Being a person that doesn't really care for them, I am also annoyed that they keep getting so damn lucky and squeaking by everyone. I can't wait until they get blown out of the water by a team playing up to snuff.

It is not a matter of luck. They play just well enough to win. It is not about running up the score. A few mistakes last week cost the buckeyes a huge win. But when the defense needs to step it up, it does. When the offense needs to step it up it does also. Not many teams would have been able to beat NCst in 3 overtimes without having a decent running game. Ohio state will play at the level of their opponents. I am not a big fan of this, but that is what happens. Now after seeing some life out of the buckeyes running game against BG, I expect to see a northwestern team go down rather quickly. Assuming they do not start playing prevent and letting teams back in the game. they have Michigans number, so I am not worried about them but purdue and Iowa.....well we shall see.
