Early readers of Sportable will remember my blatant sackriding of Wolfe and my Heisman endorsement for him. A good punt return by Brian Bonner put the TCU offense in great field position. Three plays later, Lonta Hobbs was in the endzone for a Horned Frogs touchdown. I remember Hobbs as damn near unstoppable on NCAA Football. Northern Illinois likely feels the same way after Hobbs’ first two runs. In a hilarious ending to the drive, Chris Manfredini’s PAT was blocked. As I stated “That’s two points”, Manfredini showed his wheels and ran down Northern Illinois at around midfield.

Ohio State was leading 21-0 after the first quarter, and 28-3 at halftime. Wolfe's lone touchdown came in the fourth quarter . So to say the Wolfe racked up 285 total yards against the "vaunted" Ohio State defense is a tad misleading since second-teamers were coming in to replace the starters as early as the second quarter.

They have one the Heisman Trophy frontrunner (but not my winner) and a pair of insane wide receivers in Ginn and Gonzalez. Then there’s the defense. Replacing nine starts, the Bucks haven’t missed a beat and currently have the best scoring defense in the country. I’d say that pretty much clinches their spot on the top of my midseason top five. But who’s the closest team to them? [...] [...] The Buckeyes have blown three ranked teams out (two on the road) by an average of 22 points.
