Domination, 4-for-4, and some cool stats

First of all, we completely dominated today's game. That much is obvious.

Had you told me that Ginn and Gonzalez would only have three catches each and we'd turn it over three times (twice in our own territory), I would have NEVER guessed a 44-0 final score.

Ohio State and Michigan have now played four common opponents, and Ohio State clearly has won those four games more impressively than Michigan did.

Against Minnesota, Ohio State won 44-0, Michigan won 28-14. Both teams racked up around 500 yards, but Michigan allowed 150 yards MORE on defense than the Buckeyes did. Also, that "vaunted" UM rush D??? Minny ran for 108 against UM, and ran for 47 against the Buckeyes.

Finally, some very cool stats that have me beaming tonight;

- Ohio State has scored 88 consecutive points.
- That's OVER three TOUCHDOWNS more than they have allowed all season.
- Ohio State has allowed one TD in their last 13 quarters, and that was in garbage time against MSU.
- Ohio State has now played 36 quarters of football this season. They have failed to score in only four of them.
- The Bucks have won their first 9 games by 17 points or more, the first time that has happened since 1973. They have NEVER done it in their first 10 games (hat tip - MotSaG)
