Last week's look at the offensive line problems that manifested on a cold, gray Saturday in West Lafayette prompted 176 comments from you fine folks - the most for a non-loss, CFP, or rivalry game in years. It's heartwarming to see interior offensive line play drawing such passionate discussion.

This week, however, I expect a tad less, as the run game was much more efficient and effective in Ohio State's dominant 48-10 victory over UCLA. While the game felt less like a November Big Ten game and more like a mid-September MAC tune-up, thanks to both the weather and a depleted UCLA roster, there were still a few things worth examining.
