Penn State head coach Joe Paterno Ohio State head coach Jim Tressel Two teams, both looking for a signature win, and neither can afford a loss. No. 15 Ohio State travels to No. 11 Penn State in a showdown that may not determine the Big Ten champion but will almost definitely decide who it won't be. "We know how important all these games are," Buckeyes wide receiver Dane Sanzenbacher said....

BlogPoll Roundtable time. 1. Mack Brown has won three out of the last four games in Dallas against OU. Meanwhile, Bob Stoops continues to pile up Big 12 trophies like NCAA inquiries. With the presumption that Mack will hang up his concho belt in the next two years in deference to the undeniable coaching force that is Will Muschamp, how does this year's Texas/OU game define Mack Brown's legacy? Texas...

Fifteen years ago this week, the moment that made me a college football fan occurred. More on this later. However, that single moment not only made me a college football fan, but it starts a list of 10 events that shaped the college football scene and if they ended differently, history could have changed. With that mind, a look at ten key moments that shaped college football the past 15 years and how...

Earlier this year when one Ohio State blogger who pops his head up around here from time to time invoked what must be the second most-dread name in coaching* to an Ohio State fan considering the leadership of his favored program, I basically scoffed at the comparison : I'm not saying Jim Tressel is Lloyd Carr, but... what separates Lloyd Carr in say, 2002 or 2003, from Jim Tressel right now? This...

Now, I am not saying we need to light our hair on fire over some of these things but we do need to keep an even keel as we head up to Seattle to take on the Huskies. As I said last night in the...

Southern Cal will formally introduce Matt Barkley to the nation Saturday night at No. 8 Ohio State. It's hard to imagine a more difficult environment for a quarterback to make his first road start than Ohio Stadium, where 105,000 scarlet-clad crazies routinely conspire with Jim Tressel's signature defenses to turn veteran signal-callers into frazzled mush. Tossing a true freshman into such a bear pit...

With precisely one game each played, there's not a whole hell of a lot of data to use for this USC - Ohio State shebang tomorrow, which is why so many people are resorting to thematic comparisons (You can't win anything with a freshman, the honor of the Big 10 is at stake, etc.) I'd like to switch it up and look at some other points of comparison. What's the decisive irrelevant factor? Read on... TRADITION!...

by Ray Holloman Filed under: Ohio State , USC , Big 10 There will be no clips package this week from Ohio State coach Jim Tressel . No binder full of chapter-and-verse about how the Buckeyes can't be Southern California Saturday night , or how his program's image has become about as hip as Joe Paterno 's record collection. There will be no compilation, because the message couldn't be clearer if Terrelle...
