Top-Ranked Ohio State’s Coach Jim Bollman named National Offensive Coordinator of the Week
ATLANTA Happy Valley belonged to top-ranked Ohio State, who cruised to a 37-17 victory over Penn State on Saturday night, thanks to the Buckeyes’ dominance on offense. Coach Bollman’s skillful game allowed Todd Boeckman to throw for 253 yards and three touchdowns. In addition, Chris Wells ran for 133 yards leading Ohio State to another easy win in what was supposed to be its toughest test of the season so far.
The Buckeyes’ vaunted defense didn’t need to be at its best with Boeckman on a roll and Ohio State’s massive offensive line dominating. Penn State, seventh in the nation in total defense coming in to the game, had numerous breakdowns on third downs. Ohio State was 7-of-8 alone in the first half on third-down conversions and finished with 453 total yards.
For his team’s outstanding play, Coach Jim Bollman is awarded the “MCS Nike Game Ball” for the National Offensive Coordinator of the Week.
