Obama, Romney get fiesty in second debate

APPresident Barack Obamaspeaks as Republican presi-dential candidate, formerMassachusetts Gov. MittRomney, listens during thesecond presidential debateTuesday, at HofstraUniversity in Hempstead,N.Y.

HEMPSTEAD, N.Y. (AP) — Anaggressive President Barack Obamaaccused challenger Mitt Romney offavoring a “one-point plan” to helpthe rich and leveling offensive criti-cism about the recent deadly terror-ist attack in Libya Tuesday night ina debate crackling with energy andemotion just three weeks before theelection.Romney pushed back hard, saying

the middle class “has been crushedover the last four years,” that 23 mil-lion Americans are struggling to findwork and that the death of the U.S.ambassador to Libya was part of anunraveling of the administration’sforeign policy.The president was feistier from

the outset than he had been in theirinitial encounter two weeks ago,when he turned in a listless perform-ance that sent shudders through hissupporters and helped fuel a rise byRomney in opinion polls nationallyand in some battleground states.Obama challenged Romney on

economics and energy policy, accus-ing him of switching positions anddeclaring that his economic plan wasa “sketchy deal” that the publicshould reject.Romney gave as good as he got.

“You’ll get your chance in amoment. I’m still speaking,” the for-mer Massachusetts governor said atone point while Obama was mid-sen-tence. He said the president’s poli-cies had failed to jumpstart the econ-omy and crimped energy production.The open-stage format left the

two men free to stroll freely across ared-carpeted stage, and they did.Their clashes crackled with energyand tension, and the crowd watchedraptly as the two sparred whilestruggling to appear calm and affa-ble before a national television audi-ence.The rivals disagreed about taxes,

measures to reduce the deficit, ener-gy, pay equity for women and healthcare issues. Immigration promptedyet another clash, Romney sayingObama had failed to pursue the com-prehensive legislation he promisedat the dawn of his administration,and the president saying Republicanobstinacy made a deal impossible.Under the format agreed to in

advance, members of an audience of82 uncommitted voters posed ques-tions to the president and his chal-lenger.Nearly all of them concerned

domestic policy until one raised the

subject of the recent death of the U.S.ambassador to Libya in a terroristattack at an American post inBenghazi.Romney said it took Obama a long

time to admit the episode had been aterrorist attack, but Obama said hehad said so the day after in anappearance in the Rose Garden out-side the White House.When moderator Candy Crowley

of CNN said the president had infact done so, Obama, prompted, “Saythat a little louder, Candy.”Secretary of State Hillary Clinton

has taken responsibility for thedeath of Ambassador L. ChristopherStevens and three other Americans,but Obama said bluntly, “I’m thepresident and I’m always responsi-ble.Romney said it was “troubling”

that Obama continued with a cam-paign event in Las Vegas on the dayafter the attack in Libya, an event hesaid had “symbolic significance andperhaps even material significance.”Obama seemed to bristle.He said it was offensive for any-

one to allege that he or anyone in hisadministration had used the inci-dent for political purposes. “That’snot what I do.”

Captain Joe Long of Troy Police said a waiting period of 24 to48 hours for police to begin searching for a missing person is amyth. In the case of Thomas James, family members reported theman missing within several hours of being unable to locate him lastSunday.“It is a myth that we wait for any period of time,” Long said. “An

adult can be missing, just like a juvenile, as long as certain criteriaare met because an adult can come and go as they please.”Long said the manner of which James’ disappearance was

unusual, therefore, an alert was sent to area agencies to be on thelookout for person after a few hours of his disappearance.“We talk with the family and deem if anything is out of the ordi-

nary or out of character for the person and go from there,” Longsaid.

When is a person considered missing?

DOONESBURY

Loveland (Colo.) Reporter-Heraldon flip-flopping in politics:

Anyone who has watched a basketball game has likely seen what iscasually known as “the flop.”The player with the ball makes contact with a standing defender or

a defender who leaps to block or prevent a shot toward the rim, thenone of the players makes a dramatic fall to the floor, hoping an officialwill see the result of what must have been an egregious foul. Whenthe call is made against a player who was within the rules, the “flop”succeeds.This year, the National Basketball Association is going to try to do

something about the unfairness.After games, league officials will look again at video of action on

the floor, and if a player is suspected of having committed a flop, hewill first be warned, and on subsequent offenses be required to pay afine. Now, gamesmanship at the expense of the truth will have a cost.This political season, candidates, parties and outside interest

groups have each seemingly tried to take a flop.For instance, Republicans have tried to paint the Obama adminis-

tration as heartless for the fact that the Affordable Health Care actanticipates a reduction of growth in Medicare of more than $700 mil-lion.The budget proposed by vice presidential candidate Paul Ryan

makes that same accounting move. Of course, anything the Democratswant to feel aggrieved about in the budget is a flop, too; the Democrat-led Senate has not taken up its duty to pass a budget in several years,so of course it’s easy to fault the other party.Where it gets tricky is finding out who will be the enforcer for the

flops. Unlike the NBA, there’s no commissioner’s office where violatorscan be issued punishment. It’s up to voters, who should take with agrain of salt the claims coming from candidates and parties.

Midland (Mich.) Daily Newson federal unemployment figures:

Is it good news or are the numbers fudged?That’s the debate raging in the aftermath of the most recent report

on the country’s unemployment rate.According to the latest statistics, the nation’s unemployment rate

fell below 8.0 (to 7.8 percent) for the first time since January 2009.The Labor Department said that employers added 114,000 jobs in

September. The economy also created 86,000 more jobs in July andAugust than first estimated. Wages rose in September and more peo-ple started looking for work, the Labor Department reported.But many say the numbers are being spun to help Obama’s re-elec-

tion bid, with less than a month remaining to Election Day. The WallStreet Journal downplayed the report, saying to “take it with a grainof salt.”Ways and Means Republicans sent an email to the media, present-

ing 10 points that refute the Labor Department’s most recent report.Among the points mentioned include the following: If the unemploy-ment rate included the “invisible unemployed” (discouraged workerswho dropped out or never joined the workforce), the September 2012unemployment rate would be 10.9 percent; and, during the Obamaadministration, the number of people not in the labor force has grownby 8.2 million while total employment has grown by less than 800,000.This means that during the Obama years new workforce dropoutshave outnumbered new employees by 10 to 1, according to the email.This is the election season during a hotly contested presidential

race. And this is what happens — spin.When you get down to it, the only analysis that really matters is

what comes from you, the voter.Do you believe the economy is improving and brighter days are

ahead?The answer to that question should help you to decide who to vote

for on Nov. 6.

I think my ignorance of pop-ular television shows is begin-ning to affect my social life.I’m not sure when I actually

fell off the bandwagon, but Ididn’t fully realize it until acouple weeks ago when my co-workers were all riled up towatch “New Girl.” All eyes wereglued to the TV in the office.All eyes except mine.For anyone entirely unaware

like me, “New Girl” featuresthe “adorkable” girl-next-doorZooey Deschanel, who liveswith three male roommates. Atleast that’s what www.tv.comtold me after a lazy Googlesearch.Of course, I have stolen a few

glances at the TV when every-one else is watching duringprimetime, but it’s a little hardto dive into a show midwaythrough a season. Not to men-tion that I used to mix up theHBO series “Girls” — about agroup of twenty-somethings liv-ing in NYC — with “New Girl.”As a former New Yorker (I usethat term loosely considering Ilived there only seven months),I guess I better start tuninginto “Girls” soon and revel inall the Gotham glory.I didn’t use to be so out of

the loop pop-culture wise, but

you could say few shows havekept me intrigued throughoutthe years. Beginning backwhen I was 5, I’d watch “FullHouse” religiously, and thenwhen I was in junior high, the“O.C.” was all I’d care to watch.In fact, an old roommate hadall the seasons on DVD. I’munashamed to say we’d spendmany a winter night hibernat-ing with the always-dramaticCalifornia crew.I also was an “America’s

Next Top Model” junkie, but Iwon’t go into that.Fast forward to my junior

year of college, when myfriends and I would spendhours devouring seasons of“The Office.” How can you notchuckle at Michael’s awkward-ness and live vicariouslythrough Jim and Pam’s rela-

tionship? Not to mentionDwight is absolutely ridiculous.But after life got busier —

right around the time SteveCarell left — I stopped watch-ing. I then started picking up“Two and a Half Men,” a showthat, as a feminist, I hate tolove. Yet again, after the leadactor Charlie Sheen left andAshton Kutcher took over, Istopped watching.Occasionally I’ll pick it up

again, but I can’t get into it —and can’t get past the fact thatthe kid is no longer, well, a kid.I guess it’s been a really longtime since I’ve tuned in.Last year, I got Netflix for

the first time so I could watchTV shows in my room, as Ifound that with three otherroommates, I had merely a 25percent chance of getting tocontrol the TV remote in thecommon area.They loved “Dexter,” and I of

course had never watched asingle episode.With my Netflix subscrip-

tion, I became entranced by“How I Met Your Mother,” ashow I had watched maybeonly a couple times before.Starting from season one, Iworked my way through tothe end, but I think the

last couple seasons are notadded to the Netflix selectionyet.I remember finally being

able to understand the hilari-ous one-liners my friendswould quote from ladies-manBarney Stinson. But even bet-ter was the fact that I hadfinally found a show and char-acters to which I could relate.(Well, besides Barney.) It’s a show about finding

your place in the confusing“Who am I supposed to be?”young-adult world. I think TVshould serve two purposes: a)to make your own life seemmore normal and b) to findhumor in trying circumstances.HIMYM does a brilliant job ofaccomplishing both.For now, I need to catch up

on the latest HIMYM episodes(CBS website or Hulu?) andhopefully also get up to speedon “New Girl,” if only to not beostracized in the workplace. I’malso hoping to watch every sin-gle episode of “Friends” eventu-ally — shamefully, I’ve watchedonly a handful.Don’t judge.

here’s no place like home.” “There’s noplace like home.”

Remember those lines from The Wizardof Oz? Well, in some ways they’re right on

the money. There really is no place on Earth likethe continent you call home.

North America is made up of Canada, the UnitedStates, Greenland, Mexico, Central America, andthe islands of the Caribbean. Although the conti-nent was inhabited by Indians for thousands ofyears before it was settled by Europeans, most of

the people who live there today are descendants ofthe Europeans. African Americans and AsianAmericans make up small but significant portionsof the population.

North America is the third largest and fourthmost populous continent. And if you want evi-dence of the world’s diversity, this is the place tolook. There are people from just about every dif-ferent cultural and ethnic background; there aregreat rivers, high mountains, grassy plains, andexpansive deserts; there are huge, modern cities,

and tiny, primitive villages. North America is also the richest continent in the

world. It has more useful and valuable resourcesthan any other.

North America is the only continent that hasevery kind of climate in the world, from the bittercold of the Arctic to the steamy tropics.

Most of the people in the United States andCanada, and many in the Caribbean islands, speakEnglish. In the rest of the continent, Spanish is thedominant language.

Dear Heloise: Is it safe tostore canned foods in mygarage? This past summer, theheat rose to 95 degrees F andhigher in our area. Does heataffect the contents? I am veryconcerned.— Kay N. inCalifornia

Kay, although many peoplestore canned foods in a garage,it is not safe to store cans in thegarage, over a stove, under asink, in a basement or in anoutside shed. The United StatesDepartment of Agriculturestates that canned foods shouldbe stored in a cool, dry placewith no extremes of too-high ortoo-low (freezing) temperatures.Any drastic changes in tempera-

ture can affect the can andthe food itself. Try to keep allcanned foods at or below 70degrees F.— HeloiseCONDIMENT RESPONS-

ESDear Readers: In a recent

column, we asked readers forwacky condiment combinationsthey create. Here are some of

the responses:• Barbara G. in Pennsylvania

wrote: “Ketchup + mayo + picklerelish = Russian dressing.”

• JoAnn B. in Nebraskawrote: “Salad dressing (Heloisehere: product that is like may-onnaise) + ketchup = secretburger sauce.”

• Lise, via email, said:“Ketchup + horseradish sauce =cocktail sauce. For a spicier mix,add crushed red pepper totaste.”

• Monica L. wrote: “Saladdressing + ketchup + relish =Thousand Island dressing.”—HeloiseCOOKIE CARVINGSDear Readers: Fall is a sea-

son with tons of fun activitiesfor you and your family. Butpumpkin carving, while it’s aclassic, isn’t always safe.

Gut the pumpkin while thekids pick out a few metal cookiecutters.

Allow them to press the cook-ie cutter into the pumpkin.Then, using a rubber mallet, tapuntil it is completely pressed in.

Leaving the cookie cutterthere, carve around it with aknife, removing the metal andthe unwanted piece of pumpkintogether. You can continueadding character to your pump-kin until your family is happy.Add a battery-operated tea lightand enjoy! — Heloise

MONDAY’S SOLUTION:

Dear Annie: My husband'sonly sibling is his 65-year-oldbrother, "Larry." Larry's motherspoiled him rotten. To say he'slazy is an understatement. Hedoes nothing to help himself. Hewas fortunate enough to win alocal election when he ran unop-posed, and he held that office for30 years. I doubt if he put in 20hours a month.

Two years ago, Larry retired,drawing a pension and SocialSecurity. He says he can hardlymake it. He inherited his mother'shome and land and has donenothing to tend it. He has a fewcows, but he doesn't care for them.They got out onto his neighbor'sland, and they issued a complaint.Now they don't speak. His moth-er's house is falling down aroundhim. He was forced to put on anew roof because the leakingcaused the ceilings to fall in.There is no heat or air condition-ing in the house. He has not had aworking indoor toilet for 20 years.You cannot open the windowsbecause of all the junk in thehouse.

Years ago, my husband saidhe'd repair the heater if Larrywould clean up the mess aroundit, but he hasn't touched a thing.He uses an electric blanket forwarmth.

He has no water because whenthe pipes froze two years ago, hecut off the water to the house andhooked up a hose to an outsidefaucet. He hasn't cut his hairsince he retired, and he seldomshaves. It makes us sick to look athim.

We have offered to help Larry,but we expect him to put in someeffort. He often tells us he shouldhave taken our advice, but when-ever we talk to him, he stares andignores us. I think he's waiting forsomeone to take care of him whilehe sits and smokes his cigarettes.We're afraid to take on the job ofcaring for him because then he'dexpect us to do it forever. How dowe handle this? — The Sister-in-LawDear Sister-in-Law: Larry

sounds like a hoarder. Along withthe lack of personal grooming, itseems more like depression ormental illness than sheer lazi-ness. This may not make it easierto deal with, but it could changeyour response. Please contact theInternational OCD Foundation(ocfoundation.org/hoarding) forinformation and help.Dear Annie: What is proper

etiquette for gift giving andreceiving? Is it rude to say, "Don'tbuy me presents. I don't wantanybody else picking out mythings. Just give me money, and Iwill do my own shopping"?

That takes all the pleasure outof giving for me, plus it soundsmore like extortion. If it is properetiquette, how much should onegive? Society has changed somuch in the past 50 years that Ino longer know if this is someoneraised without manners or if it'sOK to ask for money. — Need ToKnowDear Need: It is still poor

manners to tell someone that youexpect a present and that theyshould give you money so you canbuy it yourself.

You are under no obligation tofollow these instructions. If youchoose to give money (or any gift),how much you spend is entirelyup to you.Dear Annie: "Florida

Greetings" complained about the"high cost" of a postage stamp tojustify emailing instead of writ-ing. How petty. With the price ofgas around $4, a loaf of breadmore than $2 and a gallon of milkat least $3, a mere 45 cents maybe the best bargain in town.

Even with a fixed income, Imanage to send notes to otherswho may have a brighter daybecause they found somethingother than bills and junk mail intheir mailbox.

When I can send something toCalifornia for less than half a dol-lar, I am grateful. — StillWriting in Indiana

Scammers will senda check and ask the sellerto wire the excessthrough Western Union(possibly for courier fees).The scammer's check isfake and eventuallybounces and the sellerloses the wired amount.While banks and WesternUnion branches aretrained at spotting fakechecks, these types ofscams are growing in-creasingly sophisticatedand fake checks oftenaren't caught for weeks.Funds wired throughWestern Union or Money-Gram are irretrievableand virtually untraceable.

Pressure is onBY JOSH BROWN

Sports [email protected]

Even when she was a fresh-man, nerves weren’t a problemfor Sierra Nellessen.At least not that she recalls.“I remember being up 3-0 in

the first set,” Nellessen said ofher 2009 trip, where she took onthen-senior Alex Power fromOlentangy Liberty. “I wasn’tnervous at all. She had every-thing to lose. It was her lastchance there, while me, I wasjust a freshman. I was like, ‘Oh,wow, this is cool! I’m at state!What’s going on?’”Now Nellessen is on the other

side of that equation.The Red Devil senior is mak-

ing her first trip back to statesince losing to the more experi-enced Power 6-3, 6-2 in the firstround. She will be looking for herfirst victory at the state levelFriday morning at Ohio Stateagainst Oak Harbor seniorAshley LaFountain.“Now the pressure’s on me,”

Nellessen said. “Now it’s my lastchance.”No matter how Nellessen’s

career ends this weekend,though, her accomplishmentsare many.Not only has she won two sec-

tional championships in a rowand earned two state trips, butshe went her entire career in theCentral Buckeye Conferencewithout losing a single match.And with no CBC athletes butNellessen left, no one can possi-bly break that streak.“I had 76 as of my junior year

— not including pro-set matches— and I won 28 this year. So …104-0,” Nellessen said. “I honest-ly hadn’t thought about that (noother CBC players being left).I’m excited. I worked really hard.I never wanted to lose a singlematch, especially in conference.I’m proud of it.”In fact, the loss in the

struggled to get our firstscore, but once we have,they usually come inbunches,” Tippecanoecoach Scott Downing said.“That’s been a good thingand a bad thing for us.

found a pulse on offenseafter the Red Devils con-trolled the field positionbattle for most of the open-ing half. Tyler Cook head-ed in a goal to make thescore 4-1 with 12:10 left inthe first.The Red Devils

responded in a hurry,though, as BryanBernhold and Zach Vinskiplayed the two-man gameup the sideline, passingback-and-forth beforereaching the goal box.Bernhold turned his backand kicked it with his heelto Vinski, who nailed theshot with 5:11 to go.Tippecanoe took a 5-1 leadinto halftime.And Tippecanoe didn’t

wait to get on the board inthe second half, either.Freyre scored on a

helper from Zach Berningless than two minutes intothe half. Maus scoredTipp’s next goal at 34:02,then Kagy netted one 30seconds later to make it 8-1. Richard Grieshop scoredthe final Tipp goal with9:12 left to play in thegame.“They are a pretty

young team,” Downingsaid of Milton-Union.

“They’ve been goingthrough changes and kindof rebuilding for the lastfew years. So we’re playingagainst a lot of youngerguys out there. We werethe first seed, they werethe second-to-last seed. It’sa game you expect to comein and win.”Up next, Tippecanoe

Holmgren won’t be finish-ing the job he went to do inCleveland.New Cleveland Browns

owner Jimmy Haslam IIIsaid Tuesday thatHolmgren was out as teampresident, although theSuper Bowl-winning coachwill remain with the fran-chise to help in the transi-tion.Haslam was introduced

as the Browns’ new bossafter the 32 NFL ownersunanimously approved his$1 billion purchase of theteam from Randy Lerner.

Moments later, Haslamannounced that formerEagles President JoeBanner would become chiefexecutive officer. The movetakes effect Oct. 25 whenthe sale is concluded.Haslam plans no other

personnel changes before2013, meaning the jobs ofcoach Pat Shurmur and hisstaff and general managerTom Heckert appear safefor now.“I told Pat on Saturday

night that this was the onlypersonnel move until theend of the season,” Haslamsaid, “But I am not at all

saying we’ll make changesat the end of the season.”The Browns were the

last team to win a gamethis year, beatingCincinnati on Sunday afterfive losses. They are tiedwith Kansas City for theworst record in the league.Later Tuesday, the NFL

confirmed that Minnesotawill host Pittsburgh in asecond London game nextyear. The Vikings andSteelers will play atWembley Stadium on Sept.29, 2013, four weeks beforeJacksonville hosts SanFrancisco at Wembley.

“This is a unique oppor-tunity,” Vikings PresidentMarkWilf said. “It will giveexcellent and exceptionalexposure for the team.”The league also

announced that Houston,San Francisco and SouthFlorida will bid for the 2016and ‘17 Super Bowls.The 57-year-old Haslam,

who built his fortune withPilot Flying J truck stops,has been a minority ownerof the Pittsburgh Steelers,and is in the process ofdivesting that stock.He said Holmgren and

Banner will “work together

until the end of the seasonto transition in a seamlessfashion.”“He has been and still is

committed to doing every-thing he can to make theCleveland Browns a win-ning football team,”Haslam said of Holmgren,whose Browns are 10-28since he was hired byLerner to run football oper-ations in 2010.Haslam spoke at length

with Holmgren in the 2months since he agreed topurchase the Browns. Theymet Sunday to work out thelogistics of the transition.

“Mike was brought intodo a certain role and I don’tthink he wanted a differentrole,” Haslam said.Holmgren led the Green

Bay Packers to the 1996NFL championship and lostin the Super Bowl the nextyear to Denver. He left thePackers in 1999 to becomecoach and general managerin Seattle. Six years later,the Seahawks won the AFCtitle Holmgren had givenup much of his personnelduties by then to concen-trate on coaching and fell toPittsburgh in the SuperBowl.

Nellessento Wyoming’s HaleyThoresen was the firstmatch Nellessen had lostall season.“She was definitely

really strong, and it’salways hard to play a lefty,”Nellessen said. “That wasmy first loss, then I had torecover quickly and playanother match.”In the consolation

match, Nellessen sweptMiami Valley’s RheannaMorehart to earn a No. 3seed entering Friday’stournament.“She was strong, too,

and had a good baselinegame,” Nellessen said. “Itried to draw her in close tothe net and hit winners,tried to outlast her mental-ly and physically.“That’s usually my

gameplan. I keep the ballin play until I get one toattack. I’m scrappy. That’smy rule — I don’t let any-thing by me without me atleast touching it.”Now standing in

Nellessen’s way isLaFountain, who has beento the D-II State tourna-ment all four years in hercareer, winning only onefirst-round match.Nellessen went to the D-IState tournament as afreshman.“I’ve played her before,”

Nellessen said. “It wasreally close, but I won it ina tiebreaker.”“I still want to win a

round. It’s really toughonce you get to state. Iwant to get past the firstround and make it into thetop eight.”

Hyde the latest in long line of big OSU running backsCOLUMBUS (AP) —

This sure wasn’t theoffense a lot of peopleexpected out of Ohio State.A lot of fans might have

hoped the Buckeyes wouldaverage 40 points a game,which they are. But almostno one envisioned UrbanMeyer’s spread offensewould end up working soseamlessly alongsideWoody Hayes’ tenets a bigback, a big line and enforc-ing your will on the oppo-nent.Despite ironing out the

kinks in a new system,NCAA probation and abowl ban, the seventh-ranked Buckeyes (7-0, 3-0Big Ten) in many wayslook a lot like Hayes’Buckeyes teams from the1970s that used to live offpushing people around.“This is something

that’s new for Urban

because we never had thattype of physicality,” saidStan Drayton, an assistantto Meyer at Florida andalso his running backscoach at Ohio State. “Nowthat we have it with theseguys here, man, it’s reallyfun to watch the offensedevelop.”Meyer’s hiring was sup-

posed to usher in an era ofthrowing it around, backsused as receivers andreceivers carrying the ball.The speed in terms of per-sonnel and even the rapid-ity and number of playswould be breathtaking.Instead, muscular

Carlos Hyde has broughtback a Buckeyes’ attackfrom another time, when itwas routine to see 235-pound tailbacks musclingthrough a sliver of daylightcreated by the hand-to-hand combat up front of a

massive offensive line.To his credit, Meyer

doesn’t have a problemwith the Buckeyes grind-ing out first downs on terrafirma.“We have had two back-

to-back games where it’salmost 600 rushing yards,”Meyer said, referring tothe victories overNebraska (223) andIndiana (353 yards on theground). “You kind of goback to what’s workingwell for you. It’s just been alittle bit different the waywe manage the game.Because at the end of theday we have to win it. Ifthat means a little moreimbalanced in the run, I’mfine with that.”The reason the

Buckeyes can rely so heav-ily on Hyde, who hasrushed 296 yards the pasttwo weeks, is because of

the threat of quarterbackBraxton Miller breakingloose out wide.Defenses have to be

wary of the shifty Miller inthe open field, so they havedifficulty packing the lineof scrimmage to stop runsbetween the tackles.Behind a big front wallthat is playing at its best,Hyde has found a home.“I don’t think that we

knew we’d be running theball out of as much powerstuff as we are now,” saidstarting left tackle JackMewhort.When Meyer and his

staff first arrived in thespring, the line wasn’t ter-ribly aggressive, Hydewasn’t working hard andthe receivers were not verygood. No wonder Meyercalled the first few days ofrunning his spread “aclown show.”

Gradually, the linestarted clicking, Hyde andthe other backs began tofind some rhythm, thereceivers improved andMiller was always there tomake up for any part of theoffense that didn’t get thejob done. Early in the sea-son, he saved the Buckeyestime and time again byfreelancing for bigyardage. It appeared thatMeyer was basically say-ing to his sophomore sig-nal-caller, “Go out andmake a play and win thisfor us.” And he did.Now Ohio State has

advanced far beyond that.Miller can still make playswith his arm and his feethe’s rushed for 912 yardsand nine TDs throughseven games and hasthrown for 1,271 yards and11 scores but the rise ofHyde at tailback has

transformed the offense.“I saw a lot of passion in

him, breaking througharm-tackles and stuff,” leftguard Andrew Norwellsaid of the 6-foot, 232-pound Hyde. “He was justtrying to get the firstdown, running really hard.That makes us more confi-dent up front, that we havea big back back there doinghis job makes us feel pret-ty good.”Meyer said of Hyde’s

career-high 156 yardsrushing and two touch-downs against Indiana:“We just didn’t start veryfast. He did not (either).But he got real strong. Bythe end of the game, hewas a man.”Hyde couldn’t be happi-

er with his increased rolein the attack. He got 28carries against Nebraska,22 last week.
