The Detritus of College Football is What Makes It Great

Ohio State's beatdown of New Mexico State on October 31st, 2009 was routine for a late-era Jim Tressel win.

And by "routine" I mean that the Buckeyes rushed for over 300 yards, Terrelle Pryor completed less than half of his passes, and the New Mexico State Aggies had a grand total of two first downs en route to a 45-0 final.

The lede for the Associated Press summary of the game rendered all analysis of the game unnecessary with a perfunctory "No. 17 Ohio State needed a tuneup. New Mexico State needed $850,000", which is such an utterly perfect summary of the game (which, while I assume I watched, I have no direct memory of) that there is no point in trying to recap it further.
