Tressel: OSU wasn't rubbing it in

SEATTLE - How much talent do the Buckeyes have at tailback? They scored Saturday without even trying.
Ohio State was just trying to run the clock out in the fourth quarter when Brandon Saine caught a crease on the edge and broke it for a 37-yard touchdown run as the game clock expired. Jim Tressel wasn't upset that Saine scored, but he wasn't particularly happy about it, either. Tressel apologized to Washington coach Ty Willingham for it during their postgame handshake.
"I did not mean for that," Tressel said. "That was an off-tackle play that I thought would gain 2 yards and we'd call it a day. He's got great speed ... I'm glad (Saine) got some reps, but I wished that didn't happen."
Willingham diffused any speculation by opening his postgame remarks with acknowledging the last touchdown was unintentional.
"They ran the football to run time out, and we didn't leverage the right way," he said. "All of a sudden, it bounced outside. That's it."
