[h=1]Colorado to visit Ohio State in 2011[/h]
COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Ohio State will pay Colorado $1.4 million to come to Ohio Stadium next season and play the Buckeyes.


Ohio State athletic director Gene Smith confirmed on Tuesday that the Buffaloes will visit Columbus on Sept. 24, 2011.

It is not part of a home-and-home or multi-game contract.


"That's just a single," Smith said. "It worked out to be a good deal. Mike Bohn, the AD there, had an interest in coming this way, so we were able to lock that down."


Ohio State usually pays between $400,000 and $750,000 for nonconference games with no return visit to the opponents' stadium.

I thought this was a recent interview. Sounds like it was made before the season. My bad.

Has OSU even scored that many points this season combined? I've made some stupid bets in my time, but I believe I'd take that one.
 
Buffs have no controversy at QB

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — What's brewing with the 2011 Ohio State Buckeyes ...


BUCKEYES BUZZ: With all of the talk about Ohio State's starting QB, there's been very little about Colorado's.
And let's get this out of the way right up front: Tyler Hansen is good.


He has completed 61 of 111 passes (55 pct.) for 912 yards and 7 TDs with just 1 INT for the Buffaloes (1-2).


"He does a great job of keeping the play alive," Ohio State interim coach Luke Fickell said. "He scrambles maybe more to throw than he maybe scrambles to run at times. To me, that's the sign of a really good quarterback."
Hansen has also rushed for two TDs.

[h=1]Baker's Dozen: Colorado vs. Ohio State[/h]
Posted Sep 22, 2011 by Rob Kunz


Fresh from the oven, it’s another “baker’s dozen”. We tackle 13 topics and preview this week’s Ohio State game with Colorado.

OSU Wins If...
Rob-The Buckeyes get back to basics. On offense, they must execute, and they must be able to keep the Buffaloes defense honest with some type of passing attack. On the other side of the ball, the defenders need to play in space, wrap up and tackle, and trust the other 10 players on the field. Ohio State also needs to get off to a better start. It has been outscored 29-7 in the last two first quarters.

Beau-They play up to their potential. Sounds easy, but it's really that simple. Ohio State is a more talented team and if they play well and I think they will need to, they will win. It’s funny I am thinking of what Coach Bruce always says "you gotta tackle and don't turn that ball over" it applied when he coached and it applies Saturday.


OSU Loses If…
Beau-Hey it’s not out of the question. I was guilty of thinking that despite all this team and program had gone through they could just reload on the fly. We've seen the last two weeks that that is not happening. I think Ohio State wins but they won’t be able to sleepwalk through it. If the Bucks turn it over and give up some big plays in the pass game Ralphie and the Buffs could roll back to Rocky Mountain High with a win.

Rob-It feels sorry for itself. There is still a lot of football to be played this season, good or bad. If the Buckeyes aren’t mentally prepared for this game, there’s no telling what could happen. If Colorado can get some early scores on the board, and allow doubt to creep back into the Bucks’ heads, coming from behind with a freshman quarterback (or one who might be having confidence issues), will be a tall task.

[h=1]Colorado’s climb to top always challenging[/h]
[h=3]Recruiting obstacles make staying up there hard[/h] By Bob Baptist The Columbus Dispatch

Jon Embree saw firsthand how a winning football program is built when he was a tight end at Colorado in the late 1980s. He was one of the building blocks.


He saw coach Bill McCartney, a former assistant to Bo Schembechler at Michigan, take the book of Bo and Woody Hayes from the heartland to the Rockies, implement a fundamental, hard-nosed style of play, and transform the Buffaloes into a perennial top-20 team that won a share of the national championship in 1990.


“Coach Mac always used to say, ‘Who are we? Where are we going? How are we going to get there?’  ” Embree said. “That’s true. We’ve got to know who we are.”


Since McCartney retired in 1994, Colorado has struggled to sustain that identity and success. That is Embree’s task now.

Ray Finkle yes, always has. The look, though, is the cop from The Hangover...the dude from the Daily Show. Looks just like him.
