COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Ohio States stout defense hasnt allowed a touchdown in two games against overmatched Bowling Green and Tulsa. Morgan Brian Jersey . Urban Meyer knows the first real test will come at No. 14 Oklahoma next week.The Buckeyes intercepted four of Tulsa quarterback Dane Evans passes Saturday -- including pick-sixes by safety Malik Hooker and cornerback Marshon Lattimore -- in in a 48-3 victory.Our defense is playing so well right now, Meyer said. Obviously, the challenge will come next week against a very good team, and were going to jump on that one early and get ready to go.The offense, on the other hand, was a little slow to get going Saturday.After piling up a school-record 776 yards last week against Bowling Green, Ohio State (2-0) didnt score an offensive touchdown against until quarterback J.T. Barrett ran in from 11 yards with 9:42 left in the third quarter.Tailback Mike Weber, Barrett and H-backs Curtis Samuel and Dontre Wilson added scoring runs later in the second half to put the game out of reach.Wilson said Ohio State must come out gunning next week in Norman.It will be tough, it will be tough, Wilson said. Thats the plan not to start that way, and I dont think well start that way. Weve got to establish the running game. Once the running game pops we can start doing better.Tulsa (1-1) managed only Redford Jones 37-yard field goal in the first quarter and was limited to 188 total yards on offense.We got some things going but just didnt finish when we got in the red zone, Tulsa coach Philip Montgomery said. We just made too many crucial mistakes at bad times.Barrett was a pedestrian 14 for 22 for 149 yards and no touchdowns after throwing for six last week.Weber gained 92 yards on 17 carries and scored his first touchdown as a Buckeye.Lightning in the area extended halftime to about 70 minutes and driving rain fell throughout the second half, chasing away many of the 104,410 fans.THE TAKEAWAYTULSA: The Golden Hurricane played tough against Barrett and the Ohio State offense in the first half, but Tulsas offense made too many mistakes to stay in the game.Right before the half, the picks were a tough pill to swallow, Montgomery said.OHIO STATE: Ohio State again flexed its defensive muscle and showed its secondary could be among the best in the country. The Buckeyes managed just 158 yards of offense in the first half against a four-touchdown underdog, but the harder the rain fell in the second half, the more they scored. They finished with 417 yards.KEY NUMBERS:Samuel again put together a solid game, catching five passes for 62 yards and rushing for 78 yards on 8 carries....The Ohio State defense limited Tulsa to 77 rushing yards on 36 carries for a 2.1 yards-per-carry average....Hookers second-quarter interception was his third of the season. He returned it 26 yards for a touchdown, marking the second-consecutive game an Ohio State defensive back has a pick-six. Later in the second quarter, Lattimore returned an interception 40 yards for a score....Ohio State defensive end Sam Hubbard tallied a career-high six tackles. Linebacker Raekwon McMillan led the Buckeyes with nine.MAKING ADJUSTMENTSBarrett said Ohio State was confounded by the Tulsa defense in the first half, but halftime adjustments kick-started the attack in the rainy second half.That was a hard thing in the first half, he said. They threw the kitchen sink at us. It was a really good defense. With that being said, trying to adjust to that on the sideline was kind of rough in the first half. Once we got to halftime we made better adjustments.He said the driving rain wasnt a factor.POLL IMPLICATIONS:No. 4 Ohio State walloped a weaker opponent as expected. No. 2 Clemson struggled with an underdog so could possibly lose some votes.UP NEXTTULSA: A home game against FCS team North Carolina A&T next week.OHIO STATE: The real season starts as the Buckeyes travel to Oklahoma to take on the Sooners. Oklahoma slipped to No. 14 in the polls after an opening loss to Houston.---Follow Mitch Stacy at http://twitter.com/mitchstacyFor some of his other recent stories: http://bigstory.ap.org/content/mitch-stacy---AP college football website: www.collegefootball.ap.org Ashlyn Harris Jersey .Y. -- Paul Byron and Matt Stajan scored as the Calgary Flames started a five-game road trip with a 2-1 overtime win over the Buffalo Sabres on Saturday afternoon.

Open champion Justin Rose birdied the first hole with a blind shot he hit to a foot of the pin, and he stayed in front Tuesday until he completed a 4-under 67 for a two-shot lead over Jason Dufner in PGA Grand Slam of Golf. Umpire Paul Reiffel has dismissed the idea of wearing a helmet while officiating in Test matches, despite suffering a concussion after being hit by a fielders throw on the first day of the fourth Test of the ongoing India-England series. Reiffel is currently home in Melbourne, after the ICC deemed him unfit to take the field in the final Test in Chennai.Speaking to Fairfax Media, the former Australia fast bowler said wearing a helmet would complicate the umpiring process for him. It would be too heavy and too hot, five days with a helmet on, it just would be impossible, he said. Its hard to hear [with the helmet on]. Ive put one on and thought could I umpire in this?, and I thought Id really struggle.Reiffel, who was standing at square leg when he was hit by a throw from Indias Bhuvneshwar Kumar, said the accident occurred because he took his eyes off the ball thinking it was dead. Always keep your eye on the ball, he said. I just didnt do it. I feel a bit silly not doing that. Its like playing; if you watch the ball you should come out all right. It was just an accident. Id back myself to get out of the way if I see it coming.The batsmen had stopped running, the fieldsmen were taking their time. II must have relaxed and expected him to throw it to the keeper over my head and he decided to throw it halfway to the fieldsman. Kiara Pickett Jersey. He got it wrong and hit me on the back of my head. It got me behind the ear and hit me flush, thats whats done the damage.He said he could remember little of what happened thereafter, and, in hindsight, was glad the ICC took the decision to make him stand down for the rest of the Test. Apart from that, I dont really remember a lot about it. I suppose it did hurt. Ive watched the replay and I went down pretty quick. I was rolling around a bit. It certainly shook me up.The next day you feel as though you should be out there. The England cricket team doctor put me through a few tests and I didnt pass them that well, so they decided it was best not to do the Test and have a bit of a rest and come back later. The ICC decided it was for the best I had the rest. Im glad about that because I needed it. I was pretty sick for a few days there.Reiffel is expected to return for the New Zealand-Bangladesh ODI series, which begins on Boxing Day. ' ' '
