Buckeyes Take Control — Or At Least Controllers!

July 31, 2008

COLUMBUS, Ohio — Before they hit camp, the Buckeyes hit the digital field. Who had virtual bragging rights?

NBC 4’s Mindy Drayer reported, and she said when the Bucks took to the field, the competition was fierce and there was some trash-talking.

It was football — by video game. Thirty-six players took control – or controllers – to raise money the Kidney Cancer Association.

One by one, players were eliminated. DB Donald Washington was the last Buckeye standing – or sitting.

And, yes, Drayer said he made a big interception.

"How crazy is that," Washington asked.

Now, if the football Buckeyes can do the same thing in this year’s real championship, Drayer said.
