I'm having a hard time figuring out how I feel about Ohio State's 49-21 win over the Indiana Hoosiers. On one hand, everything that happened after halftime was absolutely insane and awesome. Someone who only looked at the box score would be forgiven a shrug and one of those approving "yeah, that sounds about right" frowny faces coupled with a bob of the head.
One the other hand, that first half is going to be stuck in my head for the next week or more. It's over and it's not that big of a deal (hopefully), but like a skunk's spray, the dread of the Ohio State offense being just as out of sorts as it was last season is hard to wash away. Still though, the season opener against the Hoosiers ultimately ended up being pretty fun, and players and fans alike still managed to have a good time.

Next week things get a little more tricky, but seeing as how it's a home game and seeing as how I'm going to pretend the first thirty minutes of last night's game never happened, it should be pretty fun.
