COLUMBUS, Ohio -- After a 76-0 victory over outmanned and overmatched Florida
A&M, Urban Meyer couldnt say for certain that his Ohio State team got a lot
out of its meek non-conference schedule.

know," the coach of No. 4 Ohio State said, referring to the Big Ten opener on
Saturday against No. 24 Wisconsin. "Are we prepared? I like to think we are."
Theres no doubt that Kenny Guiton is. For the third game in a row, the perennial
backup starred in place of the injured Braxton Miller. Guiton set a school
record with six touchdown passes -- all in the first half -- in a blow-out of
historic proportions. It was an epic mismatch between a team with national-title
aspirations and a Football Championship Subdivision member getting a $900,000
guarantee. FAMU, which picked up the sport in 1899, had never lost by so many
points. It was the most lopsided Ohio State win since an 85-7 victory over Drake
in 1935. "We dont want a pity party," said Rattlers coach Earl Holmes, who made
a point of saying the Buckeyes didnt run up the score on his team. "I dont have
a problem with that. I dont expect the coach to kneel. You play the game. You
play for 60 minutes." At least it was decided relatively quickly. The Buckeyes
(4-0) were up 21-0 in the opening 6 minutes and never looked back. Guiton, who
completed 24 of 34 passes for 215 yards, tossed four TD passes in the first
quarter. "I had all day," Guiton said. "The coaches wanted to come out throwing
the ball around and I thank them for the trust they had in me to be able to do
that." FAMU (1-3) was behind 48-0 when it picked up its initial first down in
the second quarter. The stats were as lopsided as the score. Ohio State had a
34-2 edge in first downs and a 603-80 differential in yards. "I wouldnt say were
unsatisfied," tight end Jeff Heuerman said. "Theres always room for improvement.
Were not perfect." Miller, the Big Tens offensive player of the year last season
and a Heisman Trophy hopeful this year, missed his second game in a row with a
sprained medial-collateral ligament in his left knee. Meyer had said Miller was
probable to play against the Rattlers, but he never put on his uniform. It didnt
take long for this game to get out of control, with or without him. After a
short punt ended the Rattlers first possession, Ohio State took over at the FAMU
30. On third down from the 3, Guitons pass into the end zone was picked off by
Patrick Aiken. Aiken, however, elected to try to run the ball out. He got to the
3 before being hit by running back Jordan Hall and fumbling the ball away. "I
got caught up in the moment," Aiken said. "I made a mental error. I should have
just kneed the ball in the end zone." On the next play, Hall scored the first of
his two touchdowns. After a 65-yard punt return by Corey Brown put the ball at
the 11, one play later Guiton flipped an 11-yard TD pass to Heuerman. That made
it 13-0 -- the Buckeyes inexplicably went for two but failed -- with the
touchdowns coming on two plays totalling 10 seconds. Doran Grant blocked the
next FAMU punt and the Buckeyes were right back in business at the 25. It took
two more passes to make it 20-0, with Guiton hitting Evan Spencer for the final
eight yards and the score. Carlos Hyde, who had been suspended for the first
three games after an alleged altercation with a female in a bar this summer,
took a shovel pass the final yard late in the quarter. After the ensuing
kickoff, Bradley Roby intercepted a pass by Damien Fleming and returned it to
the 5. It was 34-0 after Guiton hit Devin Smith for the score. Guiton eclipsed
the mark that had been held by John Borton in 1952 and Bobby Hoying (who did it
in 1994 and again in 1995) with his second TD pass to Spencer in the final
seconds of the half. With the Buckeyes up 55-0 at the half, Meyer took his foot
off the gas and filled the field with subs. Fifth-team tailback Ezekiel Elliott
ran for 162 yards on 14 carries and two touchdowns and third-string quarterback
Cardale Jones ran for one. "You come to Ohio State to compete for the Big Ten
championship," Meyer said. "That actually started in a meeting just a minute
ago." The Rattlers largest previous margin of defeat was 73-6 against Tuskegee
in 1926. They lost to Oklahoma 69-13 a year ago and South Florida 70-17 in 2011.
"Its always worth it," Holmes said of scheduling a juggernaut. "Youve got some
guys who have aspirations of playing on Sunday. So you find out exactly where
you fit." The Rattlers found out, all right.

. Thousands of Southern California fans enveloped the Trojans to celebrate an
improbable win secured by an interim coach, an inconsistent kicker and a thin
defence that wouldnt break.LAKE FOREST, Ill. -- The Chicago Bears said Monday
that defensive tackle Henry Melton will miss the rest of the season with knee
injury. Melton suffered a season-ending torn left anterior cruciate ligament in
Sunday nights 40-23 win at Pittsburgh and will have surgery in a few weeks. "We
lost a very good player," coach Marc Trestman said. "Unfortunately, its a
next-man-up situation where the next guy has got to come up and be ready to play
and help our football team. Were not happy about it, but this is the downside of
the National Football League, is players are going to get hurt and the teams got
to respond." Melton last year had six sacks, third most by a defensive tackle in
the NFL. He was designated Chicagos franchise free agent after contract
negotiations with his agent broke down, and received $8 million for this season.
He will be a free agent next season. "Its sad," wide receiver Earl Bennett said.
"I mean any time you see a player go down its sad because you dont know the
extent of the injury. And when youre one of those guys whos been working hard
all off-season, its just sad to see him go down." Melton had been off to a slow
start without a sack, possibly due to another injury. He suffered a concussion
on the first play of preseason and did not return until the start of the regular
season. Now the Bears defence, which has produced 11 turnovers in three games to
go with three touchdown returns, is looking for a tackle to line up alongside
Pro Bowl defensive end Julius Peppers. Former Jacksonville Jaguars defensive
tackle Nate Collins, who was once a practice squad player for the New York
Giants, gets a chance to start at Detroit on Sunday. Last year Collins made 23
tackles in seven contest, but had no sacks. He had half a sack with the Jaguars
in 2011. "Hes an active player, hes got a good motor, hell mix it up in there,
hes a finisher," Trestman said of Collins. "t;So were lucky to have Nate right
now.

continue to try to piece together our front with the guys we have and well
decide that over the next 24 hours and decide where were going to go for next
week." Another player who could get playing time is Zach Minter, an undrafted
free agent from Montana State who stood out in a couple of preseason games. Even
with Melton healthy, the Bears front four had struggled getting to quarterbacks
without blitzing. Last year Chicago was eighth in the league with 41 sacks. The
pass rush stepped up against Pittsburgh, but it came about largely due to
blitzes. Middle linebacker D.J. Williams had two sacks against the Steelers and
linebacker Lance Briggs one. In 2012, the Bears had three sacks total for the
season from the linebackers. "Weve been blitzing about a quarter of the time,"
Trestman said. "We probably picked it up a notch, a little more toward a third.
Our guys did a good job of disguising and bringing the blitz and we got some
hits on Ben (Roethlisberger) with those blitzes and some sacks." They also gave
up plenty of yardage despite coming up with three interceptions and two fumble
recoveries. Roethlisberger threw for 406 yards, most by a quarterback against
Chicago since 2008. The pass defence will be challenged in Detroit by
quarterback Matthew Stafford and wide receiver Calvin Johnson. It cant help the
Bears that cornerback Charles Tillman left Sundays game with groin tightness.
Tillman had been out of practice prior to the Steelers game due to knee
soreness, but made it through his playing time with no knee problems. "Were
going to be very cautious with him this week," Trestman said. "Hell probably be
out on Wednesday and well go through the same progression. But he just tightened
up. He was in early this morning, he worked out and got treatment, so were
optimistic that hell be ready to go on Sunday."
