Amir Riep, Young Buckeye Secondary Members Step Up Big in Win Over Michigan

Ohio State fans likely felt a little nervous when they heard that could-be first-round draft choice Shaun Wade could be out against Michigan.

They probably got even more nervous when Wade didn't trot out on to the field in the first half and Shea Patterson roasted the Buckeye's nickel options and linebackers.

But then they probably let out a sigh of relief as they watched Patterson go just 4-24 in the second half.

The Buckeyes used a rotation of Sevyn Banks, Cameron Brown, and Amir Riep to replace Wade, while the rest of the Buckeyes secondary remained intact.
