COLUMBUS, Ohio -- If there is panic and unrest in the Ohio State camp after Saturdays upset loss to Penn State, nobody was displaying it Monday.Coach Urban Meyer said he doesnt foresee any major personnel changes or adjustments in play calling. Quarterback J.T. Barrett said hes not particularly worried about the passing game, which struggled in the 24-21 loss at Happy Valley. The message: Whatever problems there were can be fixed, and all of Ohio States goals are still attainable.The sun came up, guard Billy Price said. Weve been here before. (Losing) isnt an occurrence that happens often, but we grow from this, we get tighter together and we focus in on us, and we dont worry about anything else. Because everybody is a couch coach. Everybody thinks they have the whistle, but we need to focus in on who we are.Maybe theres no panic, but there is plenty to be concerned about after Ohio State (6-1, 3-1 Big Ten) dropped from No. 2 to No. 6 in the AP Top 25 poll as the result of the loss, which was only the fifth of the Urban Meyer era.Receivers struggled to separate from defenders, and Barrett ran for his life much of the time from pass rushers his offensive line struggled to block. Barrett was sacked six times, including twice on the final drive to end the game. The run game bogged down, averaging fewer than 5 yards per carry. A blocked Ohio State field goal attempt led to a Penn State touchdown. Ohio State had a punt blocked, too.The statistics dont look bad -- 413 yards of total offense -- but the vertical passing game was kept mostly in check by unranked Penn State. Barretts longest completion was 34 yards, underscoring that the Buckeyes continue to struggle hitting the deep passes. The 168 yards rushing included a single 74-yard touchdown run by Curtis Samuel in the third quarter.Its hard to put it on one thing, Meyer said. Its a multitude of things. It has regressed a little bit. Certainly where there were plays to be made. We hook up on a couple of those plays, we win the game and were fine.Barrett acknowledged that the passing game needs to be better, but said, Im at a good place. Communication and timing could be better, he said, but he saw nothing on video Sunday that really alarmed him. He said the myriad offensive mistakes were out of character.It was a lot of little things that in games like that become big things when exploited, he said. Thats what we saw on film, things that can be corrected, and it wasnt anything game plan-wise that we werent ready for. We just didnt execute, and it showed.Ohio State returns home Saturday to play Northwestern (4-3, 3-1), which has won four out of five after playing poorly early in the season.The following week, the Buckeyes will play No. 7 Nebraska, which will be coming in either undefeated or fresh off a loss to Wisconsin. If the Buckeyes can win out, beat a likely undefeated Michigan on Nov. 26 and win the Big Ten Championship, last Saturdays stumble will be a distant memory.Were going to find out what were made of, Barrett said.---Follow Mitch Stacy at http://twitter.com/mitchstacyFor some of his other recent stories: http://bigstory.ap.org/content/mitch-stacy Cheap Minnesota Twins Jerseys . -- The St. Johns IceCaps weathered a wild first period with the help of goaltender Jussi Olkinuora, before finding offensive inroads in the second.

Claudio Ranieris side has already lost six times, double the number of defeats it had in the whole of last season.Leicesters fans started a rendition of Champions of England, youll never sing that at kickoff, only to see their team quickly fall behind when Etienne Capoue scored and then Roberto Pereyra extended Watfords lead in the 12th minute.
