I totally agree that Troy Smith has came in and played great. I think there are two main reasons for this........First one being, Ohio St. not being able to run the ball with L.Ross, Mo Hall, and basically Troy became their running game. The second and biggest reason is TED GINN. Guys, I can't say enough about this guy. After the Michigan St. game, where he just happened to run for a touchdown, catch a touchdown and return a punt for a touchdown, he had like 5 touchdowns and only 13 touches on the season. That's right about half the time he touched the ball, HE SCORED! :crazyeye:
The reason I actually like the play more with Zwick, is Holmes was Zwicks' man, I mean he would drop back and look at no one else and still complete it, now with Ginn(True Freshmen) coming into his own, OSU can't double, and Zwick is a MUCH better thrower. About the running game you might ask, that's where Antonio Pittman(Freshman) comes in. This guy will make Ohio St. fans forget about Clarett....... He has really made a difference. I don't think Troy had as much to do with there success as everyone in the general public might think. And as far as Zwick being a little rusty, well...if you think about it, all the teams have about month off, so I doubt that will matter.
Hope this helps.............
