Rolle: Miami Fans Still Mad Over ‘02 Title Game
COLUMBUS — The 2002 National Championship game at the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl on January 1, 2003, is still, some seven-and-a-half years later, a source of pride and fond memories for many Ohio State fans. It was then that the Buckeyes ended their 34-year drought and reclaimed the top spot among college football with a 14-0 perfect record. Names like Maurice Clarett, Craig Krenzel, and Michael Jenkins still bring smiles to many fans.

HAMILTON 14, SPRINGFIELD 6 Robertson Takes Fault in ‘Cats First Loss
HAMILTON — It wasn’t the opening game that anyone involved with the Springfield football program — fan, player, and coach alike — hoped for. But, it was reality for the Wildcats, and it came in the form of a 14-6 season-opening loss to the Hamilton Big Blue at Virgil Schwarm Stadium in Hamilton on Friday, August 27. It came in the form of a sloppy game, one in which Springfield turned the ball over five times and lacked consistency on offense.

Browning Expects Improved O-Line
COLUMBUS — Oh the woes of the offensive line. It’s often the most overlooked part of a football team — except when things are going awry. It can be a thankless job as well — you don’t touch the ball that much, so you hardly ever get the accolades from fans the ‘skill’ offensive players do. All of these are things that Ohio State offensive lineman Bryant Browning pointed out during the Big Ten Media Days on August 3 in Chicago about his position. However, he said, he wouldn’t want to be playing any other position.
