| Michigan Week is a Season onto itself for Ohio State | 
Senior week might present Coach Tressel with the opportunity
to get the seniors into the game early including Todd Boeckman and Maurice
Wells to name a few. “Well, we haven't talked about that, although we're not
very deep into the week.” He stated at his Monday press conference. “One time I
remember I had so many seniors on offense in particular I started 11 seniors on
the first play and then on play two, it was back to the rest of the group. I'm not
sure that that's in the cards here, but I haven't really talked about that.” | 11/18/2008 9:37:55 PM

| Ron Zook Ends the Illinois vs Ohio State Game with 12 Minutes Remaining | 
In what was a tight game between two Big Ten foes and a
difficult matchup for the Buckeyes a year ago, Ron Zook switched quarterbacks
with 11:49 remaining and put the nail in the coffin for Fighting Illini. Maybe
the hard hit by Ross Homan the previous drive on Juice Williams or the change
in direction to playing against the wind influenced his decision, yet his team
was down by 17 with most of the fourth quarter remaining when he made the switch
to backup Eddie McGee who was not able to put the Illini into a scoring position
on two consecutive drives ending any hope for his team. | 11/15/2008 4:05:16 PM

| (10) Ohio State at Illinois | 
Memorial Stadium, Champaign,
Illinois
Kickoff: 12 noon
TV: ESPN
Quietly, I was rooting for the Nittany Lions to go
undefeated and earn a birth to the national championship game. Thanks to the Penn
State loss to Iowa that scenario is now squashed and the
Buckeyes are firmly back in the race for the Rose Bowl. It won’t be easy and they need some help from
either Indiana or Michigan State
but the dream is still alive and the Bucks have something to play for. Illinois
is experiencing a disappointing season and are struggling to earn a bowl birth
with a 5-5 record. With the Bucks
playing for the Rose Bowl, the Illini playing for any bowl and the fact OSU has
struggled against the Illini over the last two years will make this game one
not to miss. | 11/13/2008 11:45:10 AM
