  • PSU also grabbed Michael Zordich and Brandon Beachum of Youngstown Cardinal Mooney last season. Zordich went there because his father was a star at Penn State. Beachum is another story. The kid was tough as nails as a RB/LB as a four-year starter at Youngstown, but attended three area camps (at OSU, Michigan & PSU) and PSU was the only one of the three to offer him. He received other offers from some very big DI schools, but I found it interesting that he was in Michigan's and OSU's camp and had interest in going to those places but never got invited after working out for them.

    Beachum is built like a tank. I actually had the opportunity to speak to him LAST year when he and DJ Woods were at PSU together for a visit. Nice kid and a nice family. He starts on special teams and actually got some carries this year as a running back - PSU went four deep this year with Royster, Green, Carter and Beachum - until Carter tore his ACL. Not saying this group is near the four-deep that USC sports, but, a good group nonetheless.

  • Ohio State to Play Texas in the Fiesta Bowl!!!

  • The Buckeyes are 3-0 in the Fiesta under Tressel. Let's hope they make it 4-0. Should be a great game...it's a good match up.

  • Im down here in Longhorn country, gonna have to have a few people over for the game. I sure hope I get to cheer on a winning team and not have to hear there crap.

  • Woo Hoo! Buckeyes in my new neighborhood. If I can land a ticket....I'm there!

  • A preview of what to watch is DE Brian Orakpo dueling against our Offensive Tackles

    And Texas has to watch out for this guy

    and dont forget this guy... James Laurinaitis Ohio State LB

    How could you forget about him? He was better as a soph than his jr and sr years, and, well, he is the only person beside Ray Lewis to get credit for 1.76 tackles when he touches a guy after he is down, and he gets 3.12 tackles for every tackle he actually makes.

  • Orakpo will be in our backfield all day. our RT Sucks!

  • I hope we can repeat this performance.

  • Cannot wait to bet on Texas. Opened at UT -8, now up to -10. Better get my bet in before it gets up to 20...not that it'll matter.

    UT 37

    OSU 13

    Tell 'em, LenDale.

  • The Buckeyes have more than just Orakpo to worry about. Sergio Kindle's also a pretty good player:

    He reminds me a lot of Julian Peterson. If he declares for the draft, he should be selected in the late Round 1/early Round 2 area.

  • well Tressel will have to keep an extra TE in there to help Block the outside. Which was a mistake when they played FLorida we didnt have a TE on that stupid run and shoot spread offense.

    I hate the spread it only works against slower defenses.

  • The Buckeyes know they are the underdogs and that everyone wishes them to fail, They are going to suprise everyone!

    Seeing as how they have a 4-2 BCS record, I think your "few" is an exaggeration.

    I disagree.

    Florida runs it and the SEC has some fast defensive teams. Ohio State wasn't a slow defense 2 years ago.

    What it does is give the offense more options....and more options is harder to defend. It also creates space....and space is what any offense tries to create.

    They weren't fast either. Their front 7 is where they got beat, especially the LB's in coverage. Ohio State is going to have a long day if they cannot get to McCoy.

    No other coach has as many BCS wins.

  • Ohio State will Kick Texas Ass!
