i thought that the wrinkle was lining up Ted Ginn as a tight end in the jumbo set on second and short, and then running the play-action bomb... they never knew what hit them.

I thought that the hand-off to Pittman after the pump fake was pretty cute. Purdue used that play to tie the game in the 03 season against us.

I may be mistaken but didn't Coach T begin to get emotional when he was stopped by ABC's sideline reporter as they were leaving the field?
As he started to answer her question his eyes seemed to be welling up and his voice cracked.
Made me appreciate again how important this game is too him. I also wonder how much of the emotion was from his feelings for Troy Smith who he has always called "My guy" and was playing his last game at OSU stadium.

Not sure if he got emotional or not. I am pretty sure his voice cracked because he almost lost his voice on Wednesday, and has had trouble speaking the entire week.

TEFLON TRESSEL DELIVERS FOR BUCKEYES
By LENN ROBBINS
November 20, 2006 --
Ohio State coach Jim Tressel already has guaranteed himself a spot in the Teflon Wing of the College Football Hall of Fame.
He has proven to be bullet-proof, harder to get a clean shot at than his quarterback, Troy Smith, who was kicked out of one high school for flagrantly elbowing an opponent in the face during a basketball game and suspended at Ohio State for accepting $500 from a booster.
Tressel has recruited players of dubious character (see Maurice Clarett) and he has recruited outstanding young men (see Brian Robiskie). This is Tressel's m.o.
He did it at Youngstown State, where his quarterback, Ray Isaac, allegedly received $10,000 from 1988-92. Isaac also allegedly received the use of a car from a Youngstown State trustee. And Tressel did it at Ohio State where Clarett and Smith violated NCAA rules regarding improper benefits.
But there is one other thing Tressel has done everywhere he's been - he's won. He's won with a consistency and efficiency that is unparalleled in this day and age.
After beating Michigan, 42-39, the Buckeyes will play for their second national title in four years. If not for a 17-10 loss at Penn State last season, this could be the Buckeyes' third straight trip to the title game.
Tressel rebuilt a defense that lost nine starters into one that led the nation in scoring defense (7.8) until the Michigan game. And the Buckeyes were first in the Big Ten in turnover margin (+14).
Tressel won four Division I-AA national championships the hard way at Youngstown State. They have a 16-team playoff in I-AA which means you actually have to win the title on the field, as opposed to I-A where today one of the topics is which one-loss team should face the Buckeyes for this year's national title.
Voices from the Southeast say that team should be the winner of the SEC title game. Others say it should be the winner of Notre Dame at USC. And many who are still caught up in the euphoria of Saturday's remarkable 42-39 win over Michigan believe it should be Michigan.
"We'd be ready to do that if that's what the process determines," said John Junker, the president and CEO of the Fiesta Bowl, which hosts the championship game on Jan. 8.
"Whatever two teams we get they will be a million stories and a lot of attention paid."
Ohio State definitely will be one of the teams and Tressel will be paid in more ways than one. He will surely receive a lucrative contract extension. Yes, they surely know how to dot the "I" in Columbus.
Tressel obviously is a great coach and a shrewd operator. How shrewd? Only the man in the Teflon sweater vest knows for sure. lenn.robbins@nypost.com

NY Post is like The Globe or some other gossip rag you find in the drug store.
And they(NYPost) would never talk about what good he has done.
