Now, it’s a chance for the Wolfpack to face the #1 running attack in the nation. On 1st and 10 Mercury Schneider runs around the left end through a giant hole. 32 yards later, he’s finally dragged down by OLB Steve Durham. Hmm…this is not a good sign. On the next play Schneider takes it again, but is stopped when Herman Sanderson reads the play – 2 yard gain. 2nd and 8 – same play again, this time Schneider is successful and gains 6 yards, bringing up a huge 3rd and 2 at the N.C. State 25. The FB Omar Hardy gets the call and it’s read perfectly by the linebacking duo of Sanderson and Arnswaldt – 3 yard loss! Note: all 4 plays run by Ohio State have been to the left side. I wonder if MikeVick will be making adjustments?  4th and 5 at the NCSU 28 – does Ohio State go for it, or kick the field goal? They’re going for it! QB Jim Horton fades back and throws to Howard, OLB Steve Durham steps in front to bat the ball away and the ball is turned over on downs! On the sideline, head coach Craigsca is seen congratulating MikeVick on a great defensive stop. 10:08 left in the 1st quarter.
