The Front Row

To me it looked like Brax was grabbed by the pad and slammed down. Am I wrong to think that this type of take down is a horse collar at the very least?

In injury replacement substitution by Kenny Guiton this season, he is 4 of 5 in scoring series after Braxton exits.

I was so pumped when he finally broke off that long run and that bitch of a defender horse collared his ass. I was so pissed! Then, the same defender did the same thing to Carlos Hyde. Dick.

I learned I would rather be us than them!

first off, i'm proud of the boys. they played the most piss-poor game they could possibly play, and stil won. as mentioned earlier it shows a lot of heart.
second, i'm not worried about 12-0. forget that crap. i'm more concerned with them going 1-0 next weekend, and the weekend after that etc. after 13 weeks, we'll add up the 1-0's and 0-1's and go from there. i think they have surpassed all expectations thus far.
go bucks!!!!

Really disappointing. The team is really regressing. Still no sacks again today. Where is Simon, Hankins, Williams.....someone needs to step up and make a play.

This was a exciting football game. It had all the drama at the end that any fan (with a sound heart) could want. That said, the injuries are awfully hard to take, and many thoughts and best wishes go out to those leaving the field in pain. BTW, it's HIPAA, not HIPPA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act). Common enough mistake and not quibbling here, but just for going forward. Finally, it really is worth reflecting, as I'm sure the Bucknuts staff will when they begin to look at the greater picture: What makes a team completely stripped down of time and torn in several areas of impact talent, turn and then force its will on the other squad as what happened in the last minute and into OT? What inner strength plays out like we saw on today's field? Did the coaches, the fans, or some even more internal just come out in a collective wave? Whatever the hell it was -- wow.

The ESPN broadcast of the game showed an ambulance pulled up outside the Ohio State locker room. Miller was then loaded into the ambulance on a gurney before being taken to a nearby hospital.

The good news for Ohio State is that Miller is all right. Ohio State associate athletic director Dan Wallenberg tweeted on Saturday afternoon that Miller was "symptom free" after being examined by doctors, and would be released on Saturday.

OSU should have lost at home to Purdue. There were some positives to take out of this game as I outlined in the story (Kenny G, Chris Fields, Ryan Shazier, a "Never Say Die" attitude). But if you wanted me to paint a rosy picture, sorry, I have to call 'em as I see 'em. They should have lost today -- I'm thrilled they didn't -- and a loss is coming down the pike eventually. I hope I'm wrong. This is an extremely-flawed football team. Almost lost at home to a Purdue team that was completely embarrassed in West Lafayette the last two weeks by Michigan and Wisconsin (two teams that will give OSU fits). Also, OSU had the "revenge factor" going for them and still came out flat as hell. Very disappointing overall. However, I'm happy to get the win. Hopefully they can prove me wrong and win these final four games and finish 12-0. Bucks are two-thirds of the way there.

I think anyone who has followed my writing over the years knows this to be true: I don't try and act all rosy; I don't try and act negative. I'm a straight-shooter. I want the Buckeyes to do well (grew up a diehard fan) but you'll never see political-correctness in my stories. At least I hope not.

Yes. He's fine. Concussed, but no long-term issues.
