The Ohio State University, Standing Strong!

Game after game the Buckeyes showed out on the field, raking in a win after win for the 2012-13 football season. The teams played hard when the fruits of their labor were denied a bowl game opportunity due to the penalties incurred from the previous year. So the question becomes will this incredible momentum continue into the 2013-14 football season.

The second game of the season has the Buckeyes squaring off to play San Diego State. In the first quarter, the game starts off with the Buckeyes losing their starting quarterback, Braxton Miller. Miller takes a hit, becoming pinned between two San Diego State players, injuring his left knee. This may have been something to shake most teams, but not the Buckeyes. Kenny Guiton steps in and the very next play he hands the ball off to Dontre Wilson for the first touchdown of the game. By the end of the 1st quarter, the Buckeyes were ahead 14 to 0 against San Diego State.

Time will confirm all for the Ohio home team. However, the outlook for the team with a possible Heisman candidate and a backup line that steps up to the challenge when necessary is pretty good.
