The voice from Florida eight years ago protested the idea of Ohio State and Michigan playing for the BCS title again after OSU had already defeated Michigan in the regular season finale. The document discusses how Braxton Miller's season-ending injury adds uncertainty to how the Ohio State football season may unfold, similar to 2011 when other unexpected events disrupted their season. Different viewpoints can exist on how the season may go given the loss of their starting quarterback.

1. he voice rose up from the state of Florida eight years
ago and cut deep into Big Ten country, where there
existed a clamor for a historic rematch.
The voice rang with outrage against the idea that Ohio
State and Michigan should play again in the Bowl Cham-
pionship Series title game after the No. 1 Buckeyes had
defeated the No. 2 Wolverines 42-39 in the regular-season
finale in 2006.

When the Crew dismantled
the Los Angeles Galaxy in front
of a sellout crowd last week-
end, it was fair to label that as
the team’s best performance of
the season.
Last night, after a 3-0 win
over the Houston Dynamo,
Crew coach Gregg Berhalter
thought his players did one
better.
“It’s easy to get up to play
the Galaxy, with the names
and the quality and the crowd
and everything,” he said.
