Palmer got 1 more TD pass in the 1st QRT when he connected to the TE, Foshi, 21-0 at the end of the first. To start the 2nd QRT, Hester fumble to give Cincinnati tha ball back. After a lot of nice runs by Benson, Palmer threw to the endzone, and found Coles, it was 28-0, the Graham added 3 off of his foot, it was now 31-0 Cincinnati. Chicago would get on the board when Robbie Gould kicked a 22 yard FG and it was 31-3 at the half.

In the 2nd half, the Bengals started the scoring with a 13 yard pass from Palmer to Ochocinco, it was an amazing score, 38-3, all Bengals going into the 4th QRT. The Bengals scored again when the man looking for revenge, Cedric Benson, got a 1 yard TD, it was 45-3. Da Bears had to have something to be happy about, so Cutler connected to Hester for a TD, it was 45-10, and that is the final. Cincy is now 5-2 and tied for 1st place in the AFC North.

Ohio State was looking for more than 35 points, so they called out Aaron Pettrey to kick a 44 yard field goal, it was good and it was 38-0 OH-IO on top. Missesota wanted to have something to be proud of, and sure as heck did not want to be shut-out so Gray threw it to Troy Stoudermire Jr. for a 16 yard touchdown, it was 38-7 and that was the final.

Bengals make Zimmer happy, get win for Vikki

By: Cooper Ledford

The Cincinnati Bengals were mourning a loss of defensive coordinator, Mike Zimmer's wife Vikki, and were trying to get a W for Vikki. They were able to do so, in clutch fashion, like always. Cincinnati won 17-14, here's how.

Baltimore started things out looking great, when Carson Palmer threw a pick to Ed Reed, he took it back 52 yards for the pick 6 and Baltimore had the lead 7-0. Then Shayne Graham kicked a 32-yard field goal to make it a 1 score game, 3-7 Ravens on top, that was the score going into the 3rd quarter. It was Cincy who started things out in the 3rd, when Cedric Benson ran for a 28-yard touchdown, and the Bengals had the lead 10-7. Benson could have lost about 3 yards on the play, but instead got 28, and a touchdown on the side. Baltimore wanted the lead back, and they got it on a Ray Rice reception from Flacco to give the Ravens a 14-10 lead, that was the score going into the 4th quarter. The Bengals were trying to put together another game winning, epic, nail biting final drive, but 1 yard stood in their was, it was 4th down and 1. Palmer got the snap, and ran for a first down, the game was still alive, still hope. Later on Palmer threw it to Chad Ochocinco, and it was incomplete which would have brought up 4th and long, but there was pass interference, so a new set of downs, the game was still alive. Palmer was back to pass, threw a bullet to Andre Caldwell, and it was caught for 6, wide open #87! The Bengals had the lead 17-14. On the final drive Flacco threw a hail mary, it was picked off by Leon Hall and that sealed the win, Bengals are now 4-1 and 1st place in the AFC North.

Mike Hartline Out For The Season

Kentucky's starting QB Mike Hartline will be out for the season after his knee rolled up underneath a South Carolina defender in yesterday's game. He will be undergoing tests on Monday. Rich Brooks has pulled Morgan Newton's redshirt. Brooks stated that Randall Cobb won't be the full time QB because it would change the offense too much. Will Fidler and Morgan Newton will get reps this week with the starting team in practice.

Defense does the job, leads Buckeyes to 31-13 victory

By: Cooper Ledford SWO SPORTS FOUNDER AND CEO

The Ohio State Buckeyes hosted the Wisconsin Badgers Saturday. Wisconsin was 5-0 and 1st in the Big Ten, OSU was 4-1 and 2nd in the Big Ten. OSU would win it 31-13, here's how.

In the 1st quarter, Wisconsin had a nice drive going, until Scott Tolzien found the wrong team, Kurt Coleman picked it, and took it back 89 yards, for an early 7-0 lead for the Bucks. Wisconsin was trying to tie it, they would do that when they faked a field goal and the holder, Chris Maragos ran it 9 yards to tie it at 7. Wisconsin then would take the lead with a Philip Welch 50 yard field goal. That was only the 3rd time that a team has had the lead against OSU this season- of couse USC had it twice. Anyways, it was 10-7 Wisconsin on top. Ohio State would manage to get the lead back when Terrelle Pryor threw a bomb to the end zone and found a well covered DeVier Posey, but he came down with the ball somehow and it was 14-10 OSU on top- that was the score at the half. Then into the 3rd quarter, Tolzien found the wrong team once again, this time Jermale Hines tipped, and picked 6 (to those that do not know what pick 6 means, it is an interception returned for a touchdown). That was OSU's second pick 6 of the game and they had the lead 21-10. UW would make it a bit closer, an 8 point game when Philip Welch nailed a 46 yard field goal to make it 21-13 OSU still on top. The Badgers did not know that is all they would get, and that their confidence would soon go away. On the kickoff, Ray Small was back to return, and #82 took it all the way, 96 yards for a touchdown, a nice special teams play to make your team look special. It was now a 2 score game, 28-13- that was the score into the 4th quarter. Aaron Pettrey would give Buckeye fans a little more happiness when he nailed a 37 yard field goal to make it 31-13, and that was the final.

Ohio State is now #1 in the Bigten and UW is is #3. Ohio State's AP ranking has not moved, still at #9.

South Carolina 28 - Kentucky 26

By: Jeremy Mays

The South Carolina Gamecocks come from behind and steal another victory from the Cats. In the 1st Qtr, Lones Seiber hit a 36 yard FG and gave UK a 3-0 lead. With 3:35 left in the 1st Qtr, Stephen Garcia threw a 20-yard TD pass to Alshon Jeffery. PAT was good. 7-3 USC. In the 2nd Qtr, with 14:34 to go in the wnd Qtr, Derrick Locke scored an 11-yard TD. Seiber's PAT was good and UK leads 10-7. 13:06 left in the 1st half, Stephen Garcia threw a 28-yard TD pass to Alshon Jeffery. Field goal was good for Spencer Lanning. 14-10 Gamecocks. With 9:06 remaining in the 2nd Qtr, Mike Hartline threw a 7-yard TD pass to Randall Cobb. The PAT was good for Lones Seiber and UK reclaims the lead 17-14. The 3rd Qtr is where it starts to fall apart for Kentucky when Mike Hartline was injured and a very bad play call by Rich Brooks to fake the field goal and run the ball with Cobb which would have won UK the game if they made the FG. I never thought I'd say Mike Hartline not being in the game costed UK a win. South Carolina took the lead again with 6:29 left in the 3rd Qtr when Stephen Garcia threw a 22-yard TD pass to Alshon Jeffery. Lanning's PAT was good, 21-17 South Carolina. With 1:24 left in the 1st Qtr, Lones Seiber kicked a 35-yard FG. Carolina still leads 21-20. In the 4th Qtr with 8:22 left in the game, Stephen Garcia ran the ball for a yard for a TD. PAT was good and South Carolina goes up by eight. Too little, too late, Randall Cobb ran the ball 2-yards for a TD. The 2-point conversion was no good and UK falls to South Carolina, 28-26.

Bengals DC's wife passes away

By: Cooper Ledford SWO SPORTS FOUNDER AND CEO

The Cincinnati Bengals mourned the loss of a very close woman, the wife of thier defensive coordinator Mike Zimmer. Zimmer's wife Vikki passed away Thursday, October the 8th, the same day my mom died on 10 years ago. It is said that Vikki made snacks for the players during training camp and practice, like chocolate chip cookies. She even said that she would make the team a massive fruit bowl sometimes.

“Mike tells me, ‘Those kids work so hard and so long. They really like it when you make them that stuff,’ ” Vikki said in September. It is questionable if Zimmer will be at the game in Baltimore, the chances are slim reports a local Cincinnati new station. Local 12 (WKRC-CBS)

This is a big loss for the Cincinnati Bengals organization and he Zimmer family. The family and team are in my prayers.

George Grande Retires After 17 Years

By: Jeremy Mays

FSN-Ohio play-by-play announcer George Grande has called it a career before today's ball game. Grande and fellow colleague Chris Welsh have been together ever since 1993 as baseball's longest TV duo in Reds history. Grande stated that he wanted to spend more time at home with his family so he opted out of his contract one year early. Grandehosted the very first episode of SportsCenter when ESPN first came on the air. He often served as the master of ceromonies for Baseball's Hall of Fame for the annual inductions of new baseball nominees in Cooperstown, NY. Lots of tears were shed by Grande's fellow colleague's Chris Welsh, Jim Day, and Jeff Piecoro. His friends from FOX presented him with a cake before the game that had on it his famous quote during games, "Get em on, Get em over, and Get em in." Also, Marty Brennaman, Jeff Piecoro, Jim Day, and Reds CEO Bob Castellini visted Grande furing the broadcast in the booth, where he was presented two autographed jerseys by his FOX colleagues and Reds players and a plaque honoring his 17-year Reds broadcasting tenure with FSN-Ohio. George received phone calls on-air from MLB Commissioner Bud Selig and former Reds 1st baseman Sean Casey. He worked for 42 years in the broadcasting business. George Grande certainly will be missed, I've been listening to him all my life call Reds games with Chris Welsh and it will be awkward with him no longer being the voice of the Reds on TV. He was the Marty Brennaman of sports broadcasters on Reds TV. Fortunately, the Reds were able to send off his final broadcast with a 6-0 victory to end Baseball's regular season today. Here's what Grande had to say about his decision to retire;

"I wanted to spend more time at home, basically," Grande said before Sunday's game. "I love the Reds, what I do and I love my job. I just need to be home on a regular basis, not just four or five days a month, to keep up on things."

"It has nothing to do with anything about the Reds or Fox Sports," Grande said. "For me family has always been No. 1. Family will always come first."

"If there is something that comes along where I don't have to travel on a regular basis, I will do that too," Grande said. "I'm not leaving to take another job. I'm leaving to spend more time at home. If something happens, fine. More than anything, I will miss the people. I will miss everybody I worked with. We've all been pretty lucky and fortunate -- the broadcasters and writers, everybody - to have a great relationship. The people I worked with made 17 years a joy."
