Yes.
OSU will always use I-formation to a significant extent, at least as long as Tressel is coach, and regardless of who the quarterback is. And the better the fullback is, the more they'll use it. Remember the 2004 UM game where Troy Smith destroyed the Wolverines by land and air, and Teddy Ginn ripped off a devastating punt return? Of course you do, and those are the things probably best remembered by most
OSU fans from that game. But equally important was the
OSU scoring drive that started from inside their own ten, and commenced with Brandon Joe crushing the ball up Michigan's gut about six consecutive times, behind Schnittker. Terrelle Pryor can exceed the loftiest expectations, and he won't be better than Smith was in that game. And yet
OSU went back to power running from the I at a critical time. They'll do so in the future.
