Bellisari, Buckeyes Smash Bruins

   How good was Steve Bellisari in Saturday's game at the Horshoe?  Really good.  Bellisari gave the Buckeyes a much needed shot in the arm.  After the Bucks dismal performance in the Kickoff Classic, it was evident that Ohio State was in need of not only a performer, but a leader, a guy who plays with the same enthusiasm and tenacity of former Buckeye greats.  Bellisari adds an extra dimension to the offense, an intangible that cannot be measured by statistics alone.  Remember, we're talking about the same guy who had five tackles against Michigan last year without playing a single down of defense.  Against the Bruins, Bellisari was able to run, pass, and yes, block.  Bellisari absolutely leveled a lineman from UCLA and then preceded to celebrate over him.  Politically correct?  Maybe not.  Exciting?  Absolutely.  Sure he will make his mistakes, but not by lack of effort or heart.  Also, it was good to see Ken-Yon Rambo appear as a threat at receiver, after years of hearing about his blazing speed.
