You Smelly Penguin

By Adam Kiefaber

I could go over the whole roster of Youngstown State. I might be able to find some player like quarterback Tom Zetts and throw some stats at you, but I won’t. It doesn’t matter. Ohio State should have no problem with these Penguins because they stink.

Ok, they might have won 11 games last year and lost in semifinals of the playoffs. However, let me remind you that this team plays in the Gateway Conference and not the Big Ten. Also the BCS doesn’t have a playoff system yet, so I’ll let you figure that one out.

What you should be concern with is the play of the quarterbacks. Todd Boeckman (left), Rob Schoenhoft and Antonio Henton will all play. Personally, I have a favorite at the moment and it is Schoenhoft. However, that could change on Saturday. If Boeckman can’t make any big plays against Youngstown State, then you would have to pull him in favor of Schoenhoft and Henton in the game against Akron, right? Wait, Boeckman has to make some plays, everyone should make plays, they are called players not penguins.

The only reason that Ohio State is playing the Penguins is because Jim Tressel used to be YSU’s head coach from ’86 through ’00. There he had a record of 137-57-2 and won four D1AA National Championships. Last year, YSU finished 11-3 and lost to Penn State 37-3. OSU should have no trouble with the Penguins. On August 10th, I predicted Final Score: Ohio State 28-7

Now I say Final Score: 42-3

The previous prediction was based on the thought that Jim Tressel wouldn’t dare run up the score against the school where he and his wife donate all their money to, but now I think it may just happen no matter how hard the Buckeyes try.

Oh, also the game is going to be televised on the Big Ten Network. Call your local bars and make sure they have a dish
