Buckeyes Drop the Herd, Look Towards Miami

Moments after brushing aside Marshall 45-7, Ohio State 's players could finally say what they've been thinking about for a while.

And there's no question that the Buckeyes have had Miami on their minds and the Sept. 11 showdown against the 13th-ranked Hurricanes.

"It'll be wild to be in that game," wide receiver Dane Sanzenbacher said. "It's a relief that finally we can talk about Miami."

A story from the AP says, at about the same time Miami was dispensing with Florida A&M 45-0 on Thursday night, the second-ranked Buckeyes were putting on a show before 105,040 at Ohio Stadium.

Rose Bowl MVP Terrelle Pryor picked up where he left off in Pasadena, Calif., with three touchdown passes, Brandon Saine ran for 103 yards and two scores and Ohio State coasted past the error-prone Thundering Herd on Thursday night.

Next up: The first meeting between Ohio State and Miami since the 2002 national championship game.
