Troy Smith wins a classic for the Buckeyes

What a great game. Buckeyes overcome some terrible special teams play, and an officiating crew that almost seemed hell bent on giving the game to the Wolverines, to win on the last drive, 25-21.

And Troy Smith…27-37, 300 yards, one TD…boy did he answer his critics, including me. That was a studly performance, and the final TD drive, which simply would not have happened if it weren’t for Smith’s ability to run, was one for the ages. Smith had an incredible 14 yard run on 3rd & 10, the last 7 yards completely his own creation…and the deep pass to Gonzalez, in which he manages to escape a pass rush that would have sacked any other human being…what a play. What a game.

Go Bucks.

The Turnaround Bowl

That’s what the Miami Herald is calling this Sunday’s Browns-Dolphins game (free registration required). Interesting tidbit here.

Regardless of their spirit, the Dolphins might be further removed from a turnaround than the Browns. Although they seem to have more talent now, they are also older. The Browns will start only four players who are 30 years old or older Sunday. The Dolphins could start as many as nine if quarterback Gus Frerotte starts. And Miami’s stars are older.

Hmm…does that mean the Browns are in a better position, or a worse position, than the Dolphins?
