Unfortunately, the stats, photos, etc. that were to accompany yesterday's post were raged against by the machine ! Typical of our LLR luck - everything is tested, retested, and works great until we NEED it ! I will be updating the previous post with the missing info today and will double up the football preview originally scheduled for today on monday.
Boo Jackson
Meanwhile at the Horseshoe ...
LHS graduate Boo Jackson was thrown into action against the Ohio St Buckeyes, with mixed results. The junior QB, a transfer from El Camino CC, entered the game after starter Theo Scott went down with a shoulder injury. As the AP Reported
"A week after a capacity crowd sat in stunned silence when Wells was injured, they were again quieted, this time by Ohio's inspired play. Ohio State had not lost to an in-state foe since a 7-6 setback to Oberlin in 1921 - a string of 36 victories, most of them lopsided.
Ohio, which wore T-shirts with "O-S-Who?" on them during its Friday walkthrough, led 7-6 at the half, 14-6 midway through the third quarter and 14-12 heading into the fourth.
Maybe the Buckeyes were looking ahead to next week's showdown. Maybe they were missing Wells. Or maybe the Bobcats had their number, at least for three quarters.
And Ohio did it without its starting quarterback. Theo Scott was brought to his knees by a hit late in the first quarter and was replaced by Boo Jackson. Scott had an injured shoulder and did not return.
Jackson did just enough to bedevil the Buckeyes, completing 9 of 25 passes for 86 yards with three interceptions and rushing for 55 yards on seven carries.
Had the Bobcats pulled it off, the only comparable upset of a Big Ten team might have been Appalachian State's astonishing victory over Michigan in 2007 at The Big House. "
The Ohio St house organ - the O-zone put it this way (in an article by John Porentas):
"Buckeyes Survive Scare from Ohio U for 26-14 Win"
“Bobcat quarterback Boo Jackson, playing in place of starter Theo Scott who was injured in the first quarter, made clutch play after clutch play to help Ohio convert on nine of 17 third down situations.”
