1:00 Here we go…excuse me if I rant about the Buffalo-UConn Bowl game during this blog. I have UCONN for 31 confidence points and it could mean first place in both Bowl Mania Leagues if the Huskies pull this off…they are tied 10-10 now Dotting The “I” › Edit — WordPressand it could come down to the wire…I’m going to give some OSU updates too as they face the Gophers so hang with me if I bounce back and forth…back to the game I’m excited to see some future Bucks today and maybe get a commitment from Tahj Boyd?

1:01 I love the intro to this game….maybe it’s because TP is featured

1:06 They just showed the list of players declaring their schools today…Tahj Boyd not on there…interesting…Big William Campbell from Detroit is making his decision today and I sure hope he doesn’t come back to scUM

1: 07 RB Christine Michael from Texas commits to Texas A & M….big pick-up for Mike Sherman’s staff

1:11 The East Team comes out with 3 passes….can’t get a first down and the ball will go to the West

1:12 Diebler came out hot in the second half after OSU was down 34-24 to Minny…hit two 3’s, but we still trail 40-33…let’s go guys we’re better than this…UCONN is killing me up 10-3 and suffer two turnovers-UB leads 13-10

1:15 Jamie Wood makes a tackle on Christine Michael after a big run….nice pursuit Jamie…Buckeye Hoopsters look heartless down 44-33…make that 47-33

1:17 Fake punt by the West….Jamie Wood in on the pile that stops the West on 4th

1:19 UCONN is killing me! 20-10 Buffalo after UCONN fumbled the kick-off…3 straight turnovers and 3 straight scores

1:23 The East offensive line cannot stop the West d-linemen….Aaron Murray has been under pressure every snap

1:24 Fault Start on Marcus Hall….the potential future Buckeye not having a good start to this game

1:25 CJ Feagles, son off Giants punter Jeff Feagles, boots a nice one inside the 10 for the East…West will take over….Buckeyes cannot come within ten points of the Gophers-every time it seems they are turning a corner Minnesota hits another 3-pointer..Another UCONN fumble…HOLD THE BALL-this reminds me of Michigan vs. Wisconsin…hopefully the Huskies bounce back in the second half like UM did

1:28 Dorian Bell makes a tackle…first time we’ve seen the future star around the ball today…Jamie Wood on the coverage on Shaquelle Evans and the East gets possession back

1:30 After a Donald Brown 75 yard scamper, Tyler Lorenzen takes it in for 13 yards-TOUCHDOWN Huskies…wooooh down 20-17….Tom Savage in for the East at QB now..Craig Drummond headed to Illinois looks awfully good for the West-he could be scary good for Ron Zook

1:32 Looks like neither offense is really getting any flow…result of never playing together and feeling the system out…expect better football in the second half…..I love how Jamie Wood is always hustling and after the ball…right there to down the punt again!

1:37 Adam Hall, a WR/S from Tuscon, AZ, commits to……Nobody!…After removing the USC and Alabama hats, he says he cannot make his decision yet and leaves Arizona, Cal, and Oregon on the table

1:38 OSU cannot get within the 10-point barrier-How long can we watch this team?..down 56-42 with 5 minutes left

1:40 Justin Green and Jamie Wood on the coverage….Green helps break up an-almost Greg Timmons reception…Willie Downs interception taken back for a touchdown after great pressure by the East line

1:44 We’re back here as the EAST leads 7-0…Uconn has the ball back and is still down 20-17 I’m feeling OK about that game…on the other hand OSU is trailing by 15-yikes

1:45 Wow they show the Notre Dame commits…congrats guys for joining mediocrity….Dorian Bell makes a stop…3:43 left in OSU game down 60-47…kiss the top 25 goodbye for now

1:47 John Simon runs Michael out of bounds…good hustle to stay with the play…big pass by the West to get inside the 5…very happy as it was against Massilon Washington CB JT Turner (headed to scUM)

1:48 Flipped to the OSU game and BJ Mullens throws a pass down court and OUT OF BOUNDS after a rebound…that’s why we’re not good….Dorian Bell almost gets a pick at the goal line…big 3rd down stop and Chris Boswell’s FG is good 7-3 EAST

1:50 Big steal by PJ Hill down by 8 with 2:03 left…timeout Minnesota…can this happen?

1:52 OSU down 10 now this is looking bleak……Evan Turner to the line…..hits both and we trail by 8 again

1:53 The fouling begins and OSU will lose this one…sorry for sidetracking just enamored by how this team continues to break hearts-they play MSU on Tuesday in East Lansing so we really needed this one…Diebler 3 as we trail by 7

1:55 Back to USAAB and the 2nd quarter begins….Buckeye commits and prospects have not been too involved on offense (Brown and Boyd)

1:57 Jump ball forced by OSU but ball goes back to Minny…..timeout in AA game so well concentrate on OSU for a second…Minn. makes both free throws to go up 9…Turner hits a two and its a seven point game again…I don’t understand going for two as we are down 9 with 25 seconds left…two is not going to help even if they hit 1 of 2 free throws the rest of the way

2:00 Nice try at a WR pass by the East…thrown a tad bit short…like the creativity by East Squad and Gateway Coach Terry Smith

2:01 Buckeyes lose by 9…attention now on USAAB with some UConn-Buffalo mixed in….Texas commits introduce themselves-I’m waiting for the Bucks to get their 5 minutes of fame on screen

2:03 William Campbell playing both ways for the East…that’s impressive

2:06 East gets the ball back with under 6:00 left in first half…Jon Bostic from Florida will commit next

2:09 Donald Brown (RB-UConn) is so good…he as double the offense Buffalo has a team today…averaged over 150 yards per game on the ground and is a STUD that hopefully leads me to Bowl Mania Victory

2:10 Tahj Boyd in…very excited to see what he can do…not getting much time to do much of anything as the East Line has been poor at best today…announcers said he will NOT commit today…darn….nice pass down field though as he’s getting hit-great arm strength

2:13 Good explanation about the East Line…had to get guys into new positions because of an overload at tackle….maybe why they are not cohesive today

2:14 WOW! Tahj Boyd scrambles outside lofts one up and COREY BROWN snatches it for a TD….Brown a little shaken up after the phenomenal catch, but gets up o…not a great pass by Boyd, but Brown bails him out…may play either WR or CB for us next year, but sure looked good at wide out here

2:17 UConn bringing out the punting unit on the 36 yard line on 4th and 5 and downs it at the 2…I wanted to go for it, but hey, maybe a safety?

2:18 Tahj Boyd 3-4 75 yards and a TD on the drive…not bad….please come to OSU and succeed TP….

2:20 I think I’d rather be at the USAAB over the International Bowl…San Antonio or Toronto…Sun or Snow…you choose…Jon Bostic, a LB from Florida, commits to Urban Meyer and the Gators…if you guys have any comments, e-mail them to alex@dottingthei.com, and I will post them on the Live Blog…maybe we can get some good convo going

2:22 37 seconds left in the half and the East leads 14-3…Jamie Wood on the coverage once again…he has impressed me in the way that he covers the field..who have you guys been impressed with today-Buckeye or anyone?

2:25 comment from Chuck S. as the first half ends: ” Are you doing a liveblog tomorrow as well? The UA game also has a ton of future Buckeyes…Tidbit from BP: The guy who’s been trying to pull tajh to Oregon (McNeal) has declared for Clemson- positive for tOSU.”

….I will see if I can do a UA game blog as I will be in Arizona for the Fiesta Bowl and will most likely be at dinner and doing stuff for the preview and for the game, but I’ll try…Bryce McNeal going to Clemson is HUGE for OSU as he was good friends with Boyd…hopefully Tahj wants no part of the Tigers…come on board Tahj!

2:29 I’ll focus on UCONN during halftime…..Huskies still trail 20-17 with 6:00 left in the third quarter, but look much better than Buffalo and if they can protect the ball I feel good about this one…NFL playoffs today who do you guys like?

2:30 Comment from Suckatsports: ” Willie Campbell looks awesome. I almost hope he goes to scUM, so that they stop sucking, and the Big 10 can be good again.”

….Campbell does look very good…interested to see who he will choose…Michigan performing well is good for the conference and rivalry, but let them improve without Big Will-he scares me

2:31 Another comment from Chuck S.: ” Can’t do the UA game ’cause you’ll be at the Fiesta Bowl? Slacker. :)”

…Sorry Chuck! Will try my best….

2:32 UCONN TD! 24-20…Go Huskies

2:33 Nice to see the ‘58 Buffalo Team that declined bid to the Citrus Bowl because two black players were not allowed to go….That’s a team right there

2:35 Win or lose Buffalo has a lot of fight in them….Turner Gill has done an unbelievable job this year and deserves a big coaching job very soon….Iowa if Ferentz leaves? Doubt they would go outside of the Iowa family this late in the game for recruiting purposes but we’ll see

2:37 Congrats to Bryce Brown for winning the Player Of The Year Trophy…Bryce is no longer committed to Miami, but OSU is not on his short list

2:38 OL Xavier Nixon, the son of two armed forces members, is announcing….and he commits to Florida….damn Gators

2:40 Comment from GBuck3: “What’s your score prediction for OSU-UT? Are you going to do a preview?”

….I do plan on doing a preview that will come out later tonight or tomorrow….game data and match-ups will be focused on with a score prediction at the end…check back later tonight or tomorrow for that article

2:41 Second half begins and the West will have the ball at around their own 32…Tyreke Rollison to Reuben Randle nice hook-up…Randle is gonna be a good one

2:43 Christine Michael with another nice run…Jamie Wood of course chases him down…Donte Moss is really a special player and is going to be a great defensive end at the collegiate level…JT Turner with another poor coverage job and a missed tackle-take that RR..and now JT blows coverage and a TD for the West 14-10 EAST…on second look not awful coverage by Turner-more of a great play by Patterson

2:47 UConn leads 24-20 at the end of the 3rd-Please hold on one more quarter……So far I’d have to say my MVP is Willie Downs-he’s played a great game…next announcement in….announcing is Michael Carter, WR from Florida…..commits to WVU

2:50 Boyd still in for the East and I want to see what he can do..his numbers are good, but he hasn’t looked all that impressive…Nice option run by Boyd and Bryce Brown…I can just see this guy playing for Tressel and fitting in perfectly in the offense that has been designed for TP

2:53 Buckeyes are introduced…Justin Green not there with the Bucks-that worries me but he has said he’s pretty solid with OSU….PASS ON THE MONEY by Tahj Boyd to Bryce Brown for a TD…wow Boyd is gonna be good…blocked XP by West so the East leads 20-10

2:55 Comment by Chuck S: “His idol is Troy Smith (why he’s wearing #10)- we’ve had four AA MVP’s recently (Ginn, Cl*rett, Wells, Pryor), Bell keeps playing well and he could be number 5?”

…I think you mean Boyd as MVP…and yes he may win it if he stays in…2 TD passes could do it…would be a BIG get for Tress

2:56 I can’t watch UCONN…just when you think they’ll put it away they turn it over and UB is driving…please hold to a FG…3rd and 14 COME ON HUSKIES

2:59 Back to the gam–The West’s rotation of QBs is not working….maybe they need to stick to one and help the consistency of the offense…Beanie featured…he was a BEAST in this game

3:00 Big Will Campbell committing next…get ready for the big one……UConn has the ball back with 9:30 left at their own 33…come on baby

3:02 Here’s Will Campbell….He commits to MICHIGAN…why decommit if you didn’t wanna go there? DARN YOU RR! You guys still stink!

3:03 Penn State commit Kevin Newsome in the game at QB now…Tahj’s day may be done but he’s a front runner for MVP after that second TD pass…Anyone hear anything about Justin Green?…I saw his recent video saying he was pretty sure about OSU now, but I don’t like how he wasn’t included with the OSU commits…Also I heard Corey Brown may visit Pitt-don’t like that but not worried yet

3:05 Big first down for UConn down to UB 30 and the clock ticks away under 7 minutes

Comment from Suckatsports: ” Damn, Michigan. He’ll definitely improve their line though. He has academically ineligible written all over him”

…Big Will was a big commit to Michigan and I’m not sure if he’ll play OL or DL…scares me more on DL because we have handled good OL like Jake Long in the past…Although ALan Branch didn’t do much in 2006

3:07 I don’t know if Newsome is rusty, but he sure has not looked good on this drive….maybe it says something he was the last QB put in….and just as I say that Newsome makes a great pass to Logan Thomas

3:10 USC future players on the screen…congrats guys you guaranteed yourselves 11 wins every year and a win over the Big Ten in the Rose Bowl…only to hear your future coach talk about how we need a college playoff and how good his team is after that Rose Bowl win……UCONN first and ten from the UB 20…please score

3:12 Back to USAAB, but UCONN scored 31-20 Huskies…up two scores and putting me a few minutes away from a possible Bowl Mania win….this is my pride at steak here!

3:13 Michigan commit Brendan Gibbons puts a 35 yard FG through and the East leads 23-10…Boyd looks safe for now to be the MVP…some young stars in 7th and 8th grade on the tube-Ed McCaffrey’s son, Ray Lewis’s son, and Karl Malone’s son featured…..

3:16 John Simon helps out with a tackle…Simon looks much bigger than an 18 year old DT…he looks bigger than some OSU DTs (See: Doug Worthington)…

3:18 If the West wins this game Reuben Randle is going to be MVP…I didn’t realize he had 7 (seven!) catches today…wow……

3:20 Bryce McNeal is the next to announce….The WR from Minnesota has narrowed it down to Minnesota, Oregon, Clemson, and Colorado. Word is it will be for Clemson, but you never know…..

3:22 UConn ultimately puts this away as they lead 37-20 now…31 confidence points for me….no confidence points for the two people in front of me!…I am a happy person…now let’s get Boyd, Hall, Brown, and Adams…

3:25 Comment from LABuck93: “Good thing we might get Boyd not Newsome…tahj looks much better for our system, while Newsome looks like a scrambler first not a passer first…”

….I agree that Newsome is more of a run-first quarterback, but he will be solid for PSU after Clark leaves next year…nonetheless I really hope we get Tahj as he looks like an ideal fit and while he has work to do will be really good under the OSU coaches

3:27 Another nice punt for CJ Feagles…UNC got a good special teamer in this kid…any chance Jeff punts long enough to play with his son?…..speaking of Jeff he is apparently at the game…his Giants sure are good….nice piece by NBC bringing in Golic and Feagles and touching up on that story

3:30 6:59 left in the game here and the East looks to have this wrapped up…..Is Jake Golic really Notre Dame material…oh wait that’s not impressive anymore….Tyreke Rollison with a big run for the West…not slowed dow-maybe because Jamie Wood is no longer in…UConn’s 38-20 lead making me smile…

3:32 Slick “Boise State-esque” play by the West, but Michael is dropped by Dorian Bell….One-time Michigan commit Bryce McNeal who will commit next and last dropped by Shane Scove…East will get the ball back after the break and assuringly will run the clock down

3:35 Tahj Boyd back in at QB…says something doesn’t it?…just want to take a minute and thank all of you guys who are reading at home….we’ll stay with this through the MVP announcement so please feel free to send comments to alex@dottingthei.com…our comment software is down temporarily so you can comment on any article by e-mailing alex@dottingthei.com….Texas preview will be out tonight or tomorrow….

3:37 Short list of 2010 prospects playing in the game is on…no Buckeyes yet, but I’m sure Moore and Turner will play in USAAB or UA game next year….TAHJ BOYD to BRYCE BROWN AGAIN—41 yard TD…Boyd now has 3 TDs and very well might be MVP….

3:40 Boyd’s arm has amazed me…he looks to pass first and stay in the pocket before he scrambles…could be great at OSU…..where is this Bryce McNeal commitment already? Could have a big impact on Tahj Boyd……

3:42 JT Turner interception…thrown right to him…I’m biased and don’t want to give a scUM commit credit, I know….ends this one as the East leads 30-10 wiht 6:02 left….

3:44 Aaron Murray back in at QB…he’s gonna be a nice player for Mark Richt at UGA…..want to see what he can do….Tahj gettin some dap from the announcers…..please Tressel, I hope your watching…WE NEED THIS GUY for the future…..

3:47 Please Terry Smith run this clock down and end the West’s pain…I’m yawning from this one…The East was just so much more prepared and played a much better game….Brendan Gibbons shanks a 46-yarder by A LOT…..hopefully he practices that one for next year’s OSU-scUM game

3:48 Bryce McNeal committing now….and he goes to…..Clemson…Chuck S gave us some inside info from BP earlier and it went through…McNeal cites Coach Sweeney as the reason to go….the family loves the coaching staff….great news for OSU as he was tight with Tahj Boyd….

3:51 Touchdown on a little middle screen by the West…they now trail 30-17….Jamie Wood tried to run him down on the angle, but couldn’t get there in time……this game should still be over, but you never know in football…..

3:52 Bryce Brown and Tahj spending an awful lot of time together on the sidelines…..could be the two guys to come up for the MVP of this game….

3:56 And the MVP trophy is shared by Tahj Boyd and Bryce Brown! Could be 5 USAAB MVP awards for Buckeyes if Boyd commits….7-9 188 yards (game record) 3 TD for Boyd…what a game…..

3:57 Game over…East wins 30-17…..Tahj says he will sign before signing day, but is not ready to make a decision today….Please make him a Buckeye (I can’t say it any more today)…..

That’s it folks…Thanks for tuning in and stay tuned to DTI for all you can read on OSU sports…Have A Great Day and Go Bucks!
