The numbers are pure fantasy. Kyle Anderson Spurs Jersey .Four games into the season, second-ranked Ohio State is 4-0 and has looked absolutely dominant.The Buckeyes (1-0 Big Ten) are averaging 57.0 points per game (third in the nation). Their 228 points are a school record for the first four games in a season.Ohio State is averaging 332 yards per game on the ground (third best in the nation) after churning out 410 yards last week in the 58-0 rout at home against Rutgers.Quarterback J.T. Barrett is the catalyst for the prolific offense. The Heisman Trophy candidate threw four touchdown passes last Saturday and set an Ohio State record with 59 for his career in only 2 1/2 years as a starter.Barrett is completing nearly 70 percent of his passes and has 14 touchdown passes and also three rushing touchdowns already this year. Thats more than enough to draw the attention of offensive-minded Indiana coach Kevin Wilson, whose team comes to Ohio Stadium on Saturday.I think one of the premier players in college football is J.T. Barrett, Wilson said.Ohio State freshman running back Mike Weber is averaging a Big Ten-best 123.8 yards rushing per game in his first year as the starter after replacing current Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott. Weber powered for a career-best 144 yards against Rutgers.The defense is just as good -- and maybe even better, though thats hard to believe.Ohio State ranks No. 1 nationally in scoring defense at 9.3 points per game and No. 3 in total defense. Last week, Rutgers managed just 116 total yards (33 passing) and was completely overmatched.The defense has not allowed a rushing touchdown -- the only team in the nation to stake that claim -- and has returned four interceptions for touchdowns. A plus-eight turnover margin (nine interceptions, two fumble recoveries) puts the Buckeyes at No. 2 among FBS teams in that category.Coach Urban Meyer points to the defense and Barrett as the driving forces behind the Buckeyes hot start this year. He named the entire defense as the player of the game against Rutgers.You know, any time you have great defense, thats -- just the way the game of football is, you have great defense, things are going to get usually rolling for you at some point, Meyer said. Even if you struggle a little bit.Then the fact that you have J.T. Barrett running the show, its pretty smooth. Even when he makes a mistake its usually not an awful one and we can rally right back up. But it starts with defense.Lets just say Meyer is able to grin and Barrett this year when his offense is on the field.Barretts 84 touchdowns responsible for (rushing and passing) are five away from the school record set by Braxton Miller. Since the 2014 season, Barrett is tied with Texas Tech quarterback Patrick Mahomes in that category at the FBS level, with four more than heralded Clemson quarterback Deshaun Watson.Its just a great honor, Barrett said of the school record for touchdown passes. The tradition here at Ohio State is so rich. Its just in everything we do. Despite everything Ive been through it feels surreal. Thats crazy that I was just trying to do my part and do my best for the team and then broke the record. Im truly grateful for it.Next for Ohio State is a second straight Big Ten home game against Indiana on Saturday (3:30 p.m. ET, ESPN). The Hoosiers (3-1, 1-0) are coming off the biggest win in Wilsons six seasons after upending Michigan State 24-21 in overtime last Saturday.But the Buckeyes are an infinitely bigger challenge this week for the up-and-coming Hoosiers, especially on the road. Indianas last win at Ohio State came in 1987.The Hoosiers do have some momentum, having won three straight Big Ten games, stretching back to last year, for the first time since 1993. They lead the Big Ten in passing offense (320.8 yards per game) and rank second in total offense (496.8) behind the Buckeyes.But Wilson respect what Ohio State has accomplished so far.They got players, got a great program, and theyre playing about as good as anybody in college ball right now, Wilson said. Theyre first basically in every offensive and defensive stat in the conference.Meyers teams have never lost to Indiana, but several matchups have been close, including last years 34-27 victory.For four years in a row its been swing as hard as you can, Meyer said. This is by far their best team. ... Their game Saturday (against Michigan State), that was a great win for that program. Tim Duncan Spurs Jersey . John Lucas, signed as a mentor for rookie Trey Burke, showed he can score if required, scoring 12 points of his 16 points in the second quarter as Utah built an 18-point lead. George Gervin Jersey . World champions Tatiana Volosozhar and Maxim Trankov of Russia won the gold medal with 237.71 points, Moore-Towers and Moscovitch followed at 208.45 and Ksenia Stolbova and Fedor Klimov of Russia were third at 187. http://www.basketballspursshop.com/womens-danny-green-basketball-jersey/ . -- There were a lot of firsts for the Edmonton Oilers on Tuesday night. ATLANTA -- Six years and one month ago, Bubba Watson lost a playoff at the PGA Championship in his bid for a first major title. He shook the hand of the winner, Martin Kaymer, then walked off the final green and immediately asked the next person he saw a question that had been weighing on his mind throughout the conclusion of the tournament.Did I make the Ryder Cup team?Watson can be criticized for flaws in both performance and demeanor at times, but his desire has never wavered -- especially when it comes to representing his country.That was true then, when he did indeed qualify for the U.S. team, and it remains true today, as he hopes for the 12th and final spot on the roster going into next weeks competition at Hazeltine National.Its everything, he said of making the team after an opening-round 2-over 72 at the Tour Championship on Thursday. The only two things that were important this year were making the Olympics and making the Ryder Cup team.On this day, one which began with a bogey on the first hole and ended with bogeys on the 16th and 17th holes before a disappointing par on the par-5 finisher, Watson didnt ask any questions about making the team as he walked off the final green.Instead, he was the one being asked the questions -- and insisted he doesnt have any answers as to whether hell be captain Davis Love IIIs final wild-card pick on Sunday evening.I know the same as you know, he told the assembled media. The only thing I know that he told me -- and hes told everybody -- is that its about who matches up well. I dont know what that means. I dont know if its about partners. If a guy matches up better with two people or a guy matches up better with three people. I dont know that.He actually knows a little more than that.He knows that -- according to the captain, at least -- his result at East Lake Golf Club wont determine his fate for being on the team. As much of a head-scratcher as it sounds, considering the task force charged with overseeing the team pushed back the final pick specifically to allow room for a hot player to be chosen late, Love has told Watson and others that their performance this week wont impact the selection process.Theres nothing I can do now, Watson explained. Davis said its all about strategies and different things. Its not about my play. Its not about anybodys play. So I cant worry about that.He also cant -- and wont -- worry about being the focal point of discuussions surrounding that final pick. Tiago Splitter Spurs Jersey. There are some who are adamant that itll be him, no matter what; there are others who maintain he definitely wont be it. There are some advocating that his booming drives will put pressure on the European counterparts; there are others who believe his tendency to sulk when struggling is a deficiency the U.S. team cant afford.Not that Watson has heard any of this chatter.He insists that he hasnt watched, read or listened to any media in two years -- especially media analyzing, writing or speaking about him.What he has heard about is what some potential teammates have said about having the worlds seventh-ranked player in the team room next week.People came up to me and said, Do you know what Jordan [Spieth] said about you? Do you know what Brandt [Snedeker] said about you? So I thank both of them, he said. That was the only clips of media I know about.Its true. If there is a contingent of U.S. players lobbying for Watson to be excluded, they might be part of a silent minority.I dont know where everybody gets this idea that Bubba Watson is a bad teammate, Snedeker said earlier this week. He is probably one of the best teammates you could possibly have. I want that out there for everybody to hear. Bubba Watson is a great teammate. So I dont know why everybody keeps making this diversion of the truth, making Bubba out to be this bad guy.He is a great teammate. He was unbelievable on Monday [in a practice round at Hazeltine]. Hes been unbelievable all year. And we would be lucky to have him on the team as a teammate, period, end of story.Snedeker and the other players might want him there no matter what.On Thursday, Watson revealed that he texted Love recently and asked if he could serve as an assistant captain if hes not picked for the team.Theres going to be one year, hopefully before I pass away, that we actually win, he said with a smile. I want to be a part of it.Hed prefer that role come as a player, but that wont be announced until Sunday evening.When Watson walks off the final green this time, instead of asking the next person he sees whether he made the Ryder Cup team, hell await a phone call from the captain, determining whether his inherent desire to represent the U.S. will culminate in an official tee time next week. Cheap NFL Jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys China Cheap Jerseys From China Cheap NFL Jerseys Authentic Wholesale Jerseys ChinaCheap NFL Jerseys China NFL Cheap Jerseys Cheap Jerseys ' ' '
