The problem I am having is that we have heard TS is the emotional leader on this team but I don't see it on the field. I see it in AP, I see it in some of the OL, I see it in each and every D player and I REALLY see it in SA....although it's sometimes subtle. |

gotta be holmes. what is it that you see in the other guys that you don't see in TS? I see a lot of emotions that are contained inside a struggling QBs body. He may not have 'it', but I don't think it's for a lack of emotion.

Of course, these are manifestations of emotions. TS might not be that kind of guy...can't argue with that. But I wonder why we hear that the players respond to him over Zwick and that he is a leader. Does it all happen in practice maybe? |

Haha, I was lucky enough to see San Antonio Holmes here in the Alamo Bowl. But, I don't want them coming back, run the table and on the a BCS Bowl.

To be honest, I just hope the boo birds don't come out on Saturday. On campus this week, it's been tough trying to find anyone that doesn't want someone fired, cut, or kicked off the team. We had a rather lengthy discussion in our poli sci class when someone blurted out "Tressel should be fired!" The prof didn't go here, so he didn't have huge ties to the football team, but nonetheless is a huge sports fan. First thing out of his mouth was "I'm not even a fan and that game on Saturday was painful to watch. One thing I just don't get about you Buckeye fans is you find a million ways to rip on your own team, yet you never give credit to the team that beat you." I gotta agree with the guy. Sometimes we're way too fanatical for our own good.

UGA, I'm wondering if he's one of those other manifestations you mentioned. He seems to have had a number of famous speeches in a short span. He wants to run over any defender that he meets in the open field. Every time he gets hit, he is driving for more yardage (sometimes to a fault, Iowa). I'm thinking he's probably a vocal leader, and the way he carries himself with confidence is where his leadership comes to play. And yes I did just pull that out of nowhere

No. 16 Michigan State (4-1) at No. 15 Ohio State (3-2)
Saturday, 12 p.m., ABC The Daily Line: Ohio State -6½ Ohio State player to watch: Running back Antonio Pittman was shut down against Penn State, but Michigan State won't be able to do the same against the Buckeyes. Expect a large dose of Pittman while Troy Smith continues to try and find a way to move Ohio State through the air. Michigan State player to watch: The Spartans' backs won't have much luck moving the ball against the Buckeyes, but passing the ball may be another matter. Matt Trannon may be locked up by Ashton Youboty, but Kyle Brown should be able to find some seams in the secondary. And Drew Stanton is definitely good enough to take advantage of any creases his receivers find. The inside scoop: It's a stretch to say that Ohio State's run defense, ranked No. 1 in the nation, will split Michigan State's powerful two-headed offensive attack in half. But the Spartans haven't faced a top-30 defense yet. The trick for the Buckeyes will be to get pressure on Stanton. The Buckeyes will get their customary 17-28 points, the only questions is if the Spartans can top that. Ohio State will win if … its secondary steps up and the D-line can get to Stanton. Michigan State will win if … the Spartans can stretch the field and pull off a big play or two at key points in the game. Notes: The Buckeyes are allowing just 13.6 points and 56.2 rushing yards per game. … Michigan State leads the conference in scoring offense (45.4) and passing offense (314) and is second in rushing offense (252.4). … Stanton has a QB rating of 190, nearly 40 points better than the next best in the Big Ten. The pick: Ohio State 27, Michigan State 24 |
