Week 6 Recap

Week 6 was a big week for RUTS and featured two prominent head-to-head matchups.

#1 Ohio State hosted #4 Miami in Columbus. All signs pointed to this game being a low-scoring, close game, but, thanks to a dominant defensive effort, including forcing 4 turnovers, the Buckeyes defeated the Canes 56-9. The Buckeyes remain #1 in both polls and are looking ahead now to a clash with #3 Oklahoma in week 8. Can they finally end utvol27's winning streak? Two words....Roderick Smith!

Senior RB Roderick Smith has emerged as the starting RB for OSU, jumping past Junior Cyrus Jones on the depth chart.

This interception by CJ Bryant was returned for a TD with just 1 second remaining in the 1st half, giving OSU a 28-3 lead heading into the locker room.

OSU's defense forced a fumble on the Canes' first drive of the 2nd half, which was also returned for a TD.

#2 LSU defeated #5 Florida in The Swamp 28-14. The Tigers scored 21 points in the 2nd quarter, fueled by 2 forced fumbles and a great performance by veteran RB Spencer "Tupper" Ware.

LSU thinks it should still be ranked atop the polls, over Ohio State. "We're the original 'wear white jerseys at home team in RUTS'" said coach cjohnchavis. "The voters need to take into consideration that Ohio State is copying our style. End of story."

And, in other RUTS news...Oklahoma backup RB Cowboy Kyle Ryan is roping broncos (and defenders) in a quest to become the best football playing cowboy of all-time.

He's got the look!

He's got the hops!

He's got the hands!

Will he have the Heisman by season's end?
