Ohio State?s rise to No. 1 this week gives the network an added incentive to flash back to one of the darkest moments in Buckeyes history.

Banged up Bucks are expected back

COLUMBUS -- James Laurinaitis, as he predicted on Saturday, was expected to return to practice yesterday and be 100 percent for Michigan State this week. Laurinaitis left Saturday's win over Kent State with a hip pointer, but said afterward he would be fine for this week's game.

Three days of rest have proven him correct.

Anderson Russell isn't quite as far along as Laurinaitis, but Jim Tressel said yesterday he expects Russell to be back on the field Saturday. Russell will have a lighter week of practice after rolling his ankle against the Golden Flashes.

''I don't expect him to miss a beat on Saturday,'' Tressel said. ''He just kind of got rolled from behind and fortunately it was one of those games where you could rest it. But I would expect both of those guys to be full speed and ready to go.''

I'm not terribly worried about this one.

I'll say:

Don't scratch Ohio State safety Anderson Russell just yet from the starting lineup for a game Saturday against Michigan State. "He's going to be OK come Saturday," cornerback Donald Washington predicted yesterday after practice. "He did a couple of things today."

THE COLUMBUS DISPATCH
When Michigan State's 4-0 start under coach Mark Dantonio was followed by back-to-back losses to Wisconsin and Northwestern, the Spartans could not escape the ghosts of collapses past. "We kept hearing 'Same old Spartans,' " running back Javon Ringer said.

I much prefer the brothers in arms vs TSUNAnnArbwhore approach.
