Buckeyes roll, lose class in the process

Three things I took from Ohio State's 30-0 rolling of Illinois:

One, the Buckeyes' defense is for real.  That's a BcS defense propping up a FCS offense.

Two, up 23-0 and facing a third and goal from the four-yard line with less than two minutes to go in the fourth, Ohio State decided to throw the football not once but twice.  After an incompletion on third, the second on fourth resulted in a Terrelle Pryor touchdown pass to Dane Sanzenbacher.

Losing class...

Three, Kurt Coleman, senior captain, should be suspended for one game by the Big Ten.  That helmet-to-helmet hit on a defenseless player in a pile would've been beyond bush league at any point in the game.  At 30-0, it was despicable.

...class going out the door...

Kudos, Vest, for a second straight shutout.

Hope the end of the game was worth it.
