Ohio State Recaps


Sun-Times: Horvath's unusually poor outing accelerated routing

''It wasn't the sharpest game I ever played,'' said Horvath, who finished 15-for-26 for 185 yards and one touchdown. ''But it was a learning experience. We'll learn even more after we look at the film. We were trying to run the best plays into their defenses. Nothing worked.''


Sun-Times: Huskies no match for OSU

''What really surprised us was the quickness of their defensive line,'' said Garrett Wolfe, the energizer Husky who finished with his first career double-century -- 171 yards rushing and 114 receiving. ''Their [tackles] especially [David Patterson and Quinn Pitcock] were much quicker than what we're used to seeing. They disrupted a lot of what we were trying to do.''

The Buckeyes scored on their first four possessions and coasted home to a 35-12 victory, easily overcoming the dazzling 171 yards on 26 carries and 114 yards on five receptions of Huskies tailback Garrett Wolfe.


Tribune: Huskies get (Buck)eyeful

"He's very fast and has great vision," Buckeyes defensive lineman Quinn Pitcock said. "I wish him the best with the Heisman race, but we still have my buddy (Smith) here next to me who I'm rooting for."


Daily Herald: Let there be no doubt about Huskies’ Wolfe

COLUMBUS, Ohio — The statistical sample has grown big enough that it now seems like a fair statement to make:

If Northern Illinois and senior running back Garrett Wolfe played in the Big Ten, he’d lead that league in rushing without a problem.


Daily Herald: Blindsided by the Buckeyes

COLUMBUS, Ohio — Garrett Wolfe did something no Ohio State foe had accomplished in seven years.

The 5-foot-7, 177-pound senior rushed 26 times for 171 yards and caught 5 passes for 114 yards to register the first double-triple of his career.

No Ohio State opponent had rushed for so many yards since Penn State’s Eric McCoo racked up 211 on Oct. 16, 1999.
