Troy Smith is definitely on pace to have a very serious run at the passing yards in a season record, and that obviously bodes well for Ginn and Gonzales for the reception yards in a year as well.

Troy Smith will not break the passing yards in a season record. Over a third of the way through the season, he's 2,300 yards behind Germaine. He needs to average almost 300 yards a game to reach that level, and with the opponents that are next on OSU's schedule, they won't need to rack up the passing yards. Expect Pittman and Wells to get yards as these games become second-half blowouts.

But, Pittman has a real chance of being the second Buckeye to reach the 4,000 yard mark for a career. He should end up around 3,000 at the end of this year, so as long as he sticks around for one more.... it's in the bag.

I don't know about that. You're right that he has a real chance, but it definitely is not "in the bag." First, as I knock on wood, I'm going to bring up that if he gets hurt, you might as well throw your lasagna out the window, because you have no idea what is going to happen next. I don't think I need to expand on that scenario, anymore.

Second, I happen to believe that Pittman is very similar to Michael Wiley in that he is a great complimentary back. I believe that there is a relationship between quarterback and running back success in that one of them should be able to do well without the other. For instance, Bobby Hoying was a decent quarterback. But, with Eddie George, he broke the record for passing touchdowns in a season. He doesn't do that without Eddie George. On the other hand, I believe that Eddie George remains a great running back without Bobby Hoying. Another example is Joe Germaine and Michael Wiley. Wiley was all-Big Ten as a junior. Joe Germaine was a great quarterback, who helped Michael Wiley. Without Joe Germaine, Wiley didn't do much in his senior season. However, I think that Germaine would have still been a great quarterback without Michael Wiley.

I'm afraid that Pittman and Smith may be like Wiley and Germaine. Smith is the guy who is great regardless of who is running back is. But Pittman needs a good passing game to take pressure off of his running game. The point I'm making is that just because Pittman got 1,300 yards last year, and lets say he gets 1,300 again, this year, he may not get 1,000 yards in his senior season, when the offense will most likely be placed on his shoulders so that a quarterback can compliment HIM.

But, I agree that he SHOULD get to 4,000 yards.

Feel free to name four guys who have passed for more yards at Ohio State in a single season that Bellisari did in 2000.

He was, by no means, "great." But his biggest fault was that you and I and everyone else were all expecting Joe Germaine, but much faster. I feel really, really badly for Todd Boeckman, or Schoenhoft, or whoever succeeds Smith, as I have no doubt that he will be put in the same category as Bellisari was by the fans.

Bellisari's biggest problem was inconsistency when it mattered most...he tried to make the big play far too often.

It certainly didn't help that he had 3 different QB coaches in the years he played QB. Put him under Tressel/Daniels for his entire career and I think he would have matured a lot more both as a QB & a person.

(and that's coming from someone who damn near got in a fight with Steve and his sycophants after a Dayton Warbids game last year. :wink: )

And who knows. Replace Ginn and Gonzo with Germany and Rambo and Troy takes a step backwards, too. No way is Smith putting up the same numbers with Germany and Rambo at WR and Combs/JWells at RB.
