This Week At OSU
Healthy Buckeyes Ready To Invade Madison
By Adam Jardy
It will be a healthy Ohio State team
that will face Wisconsin on Saturday. At
his final press conference of the week,
head coach Jim Tressel said all the typical starters will be ready for action as the
Buckeyes hit the road for what figures to
be their toughest game away from home
so far this season.
Those receiving clean bills of health
included sophomore tight end Jake
Stoneburner, junior left tackle Mike
Adams, junior right tackle J.B. Shugarts
and junior quarterback Terrelle Pryor.
The last name on that list would likely
be of primary concern among Buckeye
fans. After suffering a strained left quadriceps Oct. 2 during OSU’s road win
against Illinois, Pryor did not attempt
to rush the ball the following weekend
against Indiana. Afterward, he said he
did not want to push himself if he could
avoid doing so in order to be ready for
the Badgers.
Speaking with reporters Wednesday
night, Pryor said he is about as healthy
as he could expect at the midway point
of the season.
“Whatever plays we call, that’s what
I’m going to do,” he said.
Asked how the quad feels compared
to a week ago, Pryor replied simply, “It’s
good.” Asked if he has run at top speed
since suffering the injury, he said he did
not last week because it was still tender.
He added that the coaches had a good
passing plan for the contest against the
Hoosiers so he would not have to push
the muscle.
Offensive coordinator Jim Bollman
said he was not concerned about the
injury, saying Pryor could do everything
they might ask him this weekend.
“We’re not going in worried that he’s
not going to be able to do this or that,”
Bollman said.
But when directly asked, Pryor said not
being 100 percent healthy will not prevent
him from helping lead the Buckeyes.
“Anytime you get injured, you’re never
100 percent,” he said. “I’d be lying if I told
you that. It’s enough to carry as much as
I have to carry the ball and do what I have
to do to try to help the team win.”
So will Pryor be able to run the ball
like he has in the past? Given what is at nine passes for 110 yards and a touchstake for the Buckeyes, the junior said down. He was replaced by sophomore

yards but is more prominently featured

afternoon when he was in our team
meeting and at practice,” Tressel said
Thursday. “I said, ‘Wait a minute. You
didn’t get the most important part of your
day – the press conference.’ He practiced
both days and he’ll go today.”
The trip represents Ohio State’s third
straight prime-time appearance
at Camp Randall Stadium. The
Buckeyes dropped a 17-10 decision there in 2003 and rallied
for a 20-17 win in 2008.
“The first time there I would
describe as rainy and wet but
physical and tough and electric,” Tressel said of the 2003
game. “Then the second time
we were there was a little bit
Corey
earlier in the season and it was
electric. You could just feel the energy in
the place, but on the field there was a lot
of hitting going on.
“I guess regardless of the weather, it’s
a physical place.”
That should mean a bigger role for
junior linebacker Andrew Sweat as the
Buckeyes figure to primarily utilize their
base defense. When OSU goes to the
nickel, Sweat comes off the field for an
extra defensive back.
“We’ve been facing all spread-out
teams and very few two-back teams,”
Tressel said. “I’ll bet you we’ve been
in nickel more than 70 percent (of the
time), so Andrew has got to step up.”
As OSU looks to control the line of
scrimmage, Tressel said a few running
backs will likely get carries in this contest including reserves Jordan Hall and
Jaamal Berry.
“It wouldn’t shock me if they got to
carry the ball from the line of scrimmage
in this game,” the coach said.
Senior Brandon Saine has taken on
more of a wide receiver role as the
season has gone on and did not take
any handoffs last weekend against the
Hoosiers. As a reporter was pointing out
that Saine’s role as a running back was
diminishing, a wry Tressel said, “That’s
just a smoke screen, but go ahead.”
Brown Moves, Smith Redshirts
One night after safeties coach Paul
Haynes denied that redshirt freshman
cornerback Corey Brown had been
moved to safety, Tressel confirmed that
such a move had indeed taken place.
“We think long-term he’s probably
going to be able to help us there,” Tressel
Oct. 15, 2010
said. “Short-term, we’re thin in both places so he can be that versatile guy, that
utility guy that can play corner if we need
him and he can play safety if we need
him. I think (safeties coach) Paul Haynes
thinks long-term that’s probably going to
suit him well.
“He’s got great range and
is really smart. You have to do
a lot of things when you’re in
there. I would say for this season he’s going to be available
for us for both but we’ll see
what happens down the road.”
Brown had been serving
as senior Chimdi Chekwa’s
backup and was viewed as the
team’s No. 4 cornerback. He

has recorded five tackles this
season.
Tressel also confirmed that freshman
running back Roderick Smith will take
a redshirt this season after missing fall
camp while waiting an NCAA clearinghouse ruling on his academic status.
Smith is a four-star prospect out of
Fort Wayne (Ind.) Paul Harding.

Not Worried About Holmes
Tressel is not worried about a Sports
Illustrated article claiming that former
OSU receiver Santonio Holmes may have
accepted money and gifts from an agent
while a member of the Buckeyes.
In the article, an agent said he met
with Holmes outside the Woody Hayes
Athletic Center and approached him
about becoming his agent. Holmes allegedly then replied that he had already
been taking gifts for years and would not
need his services.
Tressel said he has not spoken with
Holmes since the article was made public but that wide receivers coach Darrell
Hazell had.
“We wanted to get hold of him right
away,” Tressel said. “He’s made some
statements, but even his statements to
Darrell obviously put our mind at ease.
You’re always concerned when anything
is brought up.”
Holmes has denied what was included
in the SI article.
Tressel said he had not discussed the
issue with his current team because he
wants focus placed on this weekend’s
road contest against Wisconsin

Key Matchup:
OSU’s D-Line Vs.
Wisconsin’s O-Line
Having
faced
the
mammoth
Wisconsin offensive line for three years
in a row, Ohio State defensive tackle
Dexter Larimore knows how immense
the Badgers are.
“They probably average like, I don’t
know, 7-2 or something and like 400
pounds,” he said. “They’re unbelievable.
I don’t know where they get them.”
Although that was a bit of an exaggeration, Larimore knows the big men
of Wisconsin are among the biggest
he’ll face each season. The Badgers’
listed starting five up front ranges from
center Peter Konz – no midget at 6-5,
313 pounds – to giant left tackle Gabe
Carimi (6-7, 327).
The Badgers will also line up 318pound offensive lineman Bill Nagy at
tight end and occasionally put 307-pound
lineman Ryan Groy at fullback. That size
presents its own set of problems.
“When you start talking about doubleteams, you start talking 640-plus pounds
coming at you,” Larimore said. “The
problem is they’re very good. It’s not
that they’re these huge, mammoth, tree
guys and they’re not good.”
Add in 248-pound masher John Clay
at tailback – and a nice change-of-pace
back in 198-pound James White – and
the Badgers yet again have one of the
best rushing offenses in the Big Ten.
Their mark of 240.8 yards per contest
is second in the league and 11th in the
NCAA.
Schematically, they do it with pulling guards, down blocking and cutback
lanes, putting a premium on defensive
line play. If the OSU linemen are active
and get off blocks, they can help the
linebackers, who will be counted on to
make sure tackles with a minimum of
interference.
Ohio State, meanwhile, enters with
the fourth-best rushing defense in
the country, but senior end Cameron
Heyward knows the Badgers are a different animal.
“Going back to the ’08 game, I just
watched that the other day,” Heyward
said, “and they kicked our butts on the
defensive line.”

Last week against Indiana, Ohio State
proved it could stop a high-octane passing
attack. This week I expect the Buckeyes’
defense to show it can do the same against
a power rushing team in Wisconsin.
Winning a game at Camp Randall – at
night no less – is never easy, but I expect
Ohio State to leave a hostile environment
in Madison with its seventh win.
Wisconsin boasts a formidable one-two
punch with running backs John Clay and
James White. That duo will try to overcome a long line of recent successes Ohio
State has had against the run. It has been
29 games since a running back rushed for
100 yards in a game against the Buckeyes.
USC tailback Joe McKnight was the last to
do so, rushing for 105 yards on 12 carries
in Los Angeles in 2008. UW will probably
find some success on the ground, but look
for Ohio State’s defensive line to pressure
Scott Tolzien into mistakes that will create
turnovers for the Buckeyes.
Terrelle Pryor is clearly better than he
was on his last trip to Wisconsin, and the
Badgers have looked sloppy on defense in
some of their games. Because this game
is in Madison at night, the Buckeyes won’t
blow out the Badgers, but this Wisconsin
team is not as good as recent versions.
This UW squad may have a 5-1 record
but should have lost to Arizona State and
certainly didn’t look like a conference title
contender in its loss at Michigan State.
Prior to the season, I looked at
Wisconsin and Iowa as two legitimate
challengers for Ohio State’s Big Ten
crown. While the Hawkeyes have another
five weeks to prepare for their visit from
the Buckeyes, now is the time for the
Badgers and I don’t think they’re ready.
The Wisconsin offensive line does a
good job making room for burly running
back John Clay and quicksilver backup
James White, so the onus is on quarterback Scott Tolzien to avoid mistakes
such as the two interceptions he threw
last year that were returned for OSU
touchdowns.
His wide receiver corps is solid, and
tight end Lance Kendricks looks like a
real asset in both the passing and running game, but Tolzien must protect the
ball better than he did last year against
high-level competition.
That’s especially true with the Badgers’
defense not looking as formidable as the
’09 version. End J.J. Watt is one of the
conference’s best, but otherwise the unit
is short on playmakers.
The OSU receivers should keep their
heads on a swivel with hard-hitting safeties Aaron Henry and Jay Valai patrolling
the secondary, but there should be plays
to be made in the passing game, and I
believe Terrelle Pryor and his pals will be
happy to take advantage.

To me, this game will be won or lost by
Ohio State’s offensive line.
We have heard all year that the Buckeyes
can run the ball but they simply choose not
to. I’m not sure they will be able to win
solely by throwing the ball, which means
they will have to pick up key yards on the
ground.
I expect the Badgers to find tough sledding in their running attack, but I do think
they will make some plays and pick up
some yards. For OSU to win, it will have
to do the same. The physical state of J.B.
Shugarts has to be cause for concern here,
but Andrew Norwell has been praised as a
road grader and could prove his worth in
that area if called upon.
Eliminating turnovers will be another
key, particularly for Wisconsin quarterback
Scott Tolzien. The Buckeyes were able to
harass him into making mistakes last season, which means stopping the run game
and forcing Tolzien to beat you through the
air becomes even more critical.
OSU’s Terrelle Pryor has looked confident and in command to this point of the
season, and he has had previous success at
Camp Randall. I expect him to have all his
weapons at his disposal and for him to be
the reason the Buckeyes pull this one out.
It might not be pretty or decisive, but this is
the type of game where Pryor proves himself the leading candidate for the Heisman
Trophy.
Ranked conference foes playing a night
game in a rowdy stadium in front of a raucous crowd as well as a nationwide television audience – this much hype is usually reserved for games featuring national
championship contenders. With all due
respect to the Badgers, however, they are
more pretender than contender.
Regardless of what ESPN might try to
tell you, there are really only two main storylines here: (1) Can Wisconsin’s one-two
punch of John Clay and James White run
on Ohio State’s defense; and (2) Can the
Badgers stop Terrelle Pryor from piling
up huge numbers through the air?
The Clay-White combo is a two-headed
monster that has combined for 1,177 yards
and 17 touchdowns this season, and that
computes to a six-game average of nearly
200 yards and almost three TDs per game.
Meanwhile, the Buckeyes haven’t allowed
a 100-yard rusher since early 2008 and this
year’s defense ranks a formidable No. 4
nationally against the run.
Talk about the irresistible force meeting the immovable object. It is a battle in
which the Badgers must gain an advantage if they entertain any hopes of winning
the game.
That is because they have almost no
chance of stopping Pryor through the air if
the Ohio State QB continues to perform as
he has most of this season. The Badgers
have given up 518 yards and six touchdowns through the air in their last two
games, and that is likely where this game
will be won.
I will admit this contest gives me a fair
share of concern.
Two seasons ago, I was very confident in
Ohio State’s chances going into Madison to
face the Badgers. Yet, as most people remember, the Buckeyes needed a late touchdown
drive led by freshman Terrelle Pryor to
escape with a 20-17 victory over what turned
out to be a fairly mediocre Wisconsin team.
That game cemented in my head the
idea that it’s tough to win in Camp Randall
Stadium no matter how good the Badgers
are. At least in my life, since Barry Alvarez
took a moribund program and turned it into
a consistent winner, the Buckeyes have had
to fight tooth and nail to get victories on the
shores of Lake Mendota, and sometimes
they’ve fallen short.
And while this Ohio State team rolls into
Madison undefeated and ranked No. 1, that’s
another reason for worry. There’s little doubt
that Wisconsin’s usually fervent crowd will
step it up another notch with the best team in
the nation coming to town, and the late start
will give them plenty of time to get ready.
So, to be honest, my gut says there’s a
very good chance Wisconsin will upset the
Buckeyes and get a victory. But I’ve said
all year this Ohio State team has a different
feel to it, one of not only competence but
confidence.
If any team can go into the toughest venue
in the Big Ten, overcome the adversity and
get a win, it’s the Buckeyes.

Recruiting Update
Several Schools Still On Jennings’ List
By Adam Jardy
Ohio State might not seem like a player
for Darius Jennings, but that sentiment
could be true for any of the teams recruiting the four-star athlete from Baltimore
Gilman.
In an Oct. 10 interview with Scout.com,
Jennings said he still has a list of 10 schools
that he is not paying much attention to as
he goes through his senior season. Making
up that list are UCLA, Ohio State, Boston
College, Connecticut, Pittsburgh, Penn
State, Maryland, Virginia, Virginia Tech
and Wake Forest in no particular order.
“I don’t have a leader out of these schools
– that’s just really hard to say because I
haven’t been thinking about it or letting it
consume my time,” he said. “I’m just trying to stay focused on enjoying my senior
season.”
However, Jennings said the three schools
that seem to be recruiting him hardest are
Maryland, Virginia and UCLA. The only
school Jennings said he is sure he will officially visit will be UCLA.
“At this point I really have no idea where
I’ll go for the other four visits,” he said. “I
think I should have a top five by the end of
this month though. And by then, hopefully I
can start to schedule my official visits.”
The 5-11, 175-pound athlete is rated the
No. 15 wide receiver in the nation but plays
a number of positions in high school. As
a junior, he rushed for 2,028 yards and 25
touchdowns and also passed for 748 yards
and 10 touchdowns.
Through six games this season, Jennings
said he’s rushed for 1,000 yards and 12
touchdowns, passed for 250 yards and a
touchdown and also returned two kicks and
one punt for touchdowns.
Every one of his final 10 teams is either
looking at him to play wide receiver or
cornerback.
Perryman Claims Offer
Add a new name to OSU’s recruiting
radar. In an interview with Scout, four-star
linebacker Denzel Perryman claims a scholarship offer from the Buckeyes.
The 5-11, 220-pound athlete from Coral
Gables (Fla.) Senior said he favors Miami
(Fla.), Florida State, Florida, LSU and Alabama
but that OSU, Mississippi and Notre Dame
have made recent charges in his mind.

“I’ve been thinking about those (three)
schools more and more,” he said. “And all
of these schools I’ve mentioned have all
been recruiting me the hardest. I get phone
calls and mail from all of them just about
every day.”
As a junior, Perryman recorded 126
tackles and earned second-team all-state
honors. He said he plans to take all five of
his official visits and he knows where some
of them will go.
“I will for sure end up going to LSU,
Florida and Alabama – it’s going to be a
toss-up between the rest of the schools I’m
considering,” he said. “I’ll probably start
setting up some dates for my officials after
the football season.”

Perryman said he has recorded around 60
tackles, two sacks and an interception.
