The arraignment came after an incident on early Friday morning in Cincinnati, in which Russell was accused of punching two sports bar employees. Commentary: Clifford has pleaded not guilty to both counts and was able to post the $2,000 bond. According to Ohio media reports, Russell... rousseauwrites@aol.com (Robert Rousseau) Ohio State Buckeyes 2008-07-09T12:17:00-05:00 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/ohiostate/11715 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/ohiostate/11715 Ohio State backup quarterback Antonio Henton is expected to transfer to Georgia Southern. Commentary: According to The Columbus Dispatch, the move will happen soon, though head coach Jim Tressel has not confirmed the transfer. Henton is a redshirt freshman who has been battling Joe Bauserman for the backup quarterback position behind Todd Boeckman.

Even without Pryor, the Buckeyes hauled in a top-notch group that includes some of the nation's best linemen, including C Michael Brewster and T Mike Adams. Ohio State loaded up on defense, but the class' one weakness is its dearth... samuelchi@aol.com (Sam Chi) Ohio State Buckeyes 2008-02-22T04:15:00-05:00 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/ohiostate/9878 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/ohiostate/9878 Let's say that you're Jim Tressel, head coach of the Ohio State Buckeyes. Your favored club gets absolutely waxed by the Florida Gators in the 2007 BCS National Championship game, 41-14. Further, your Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback, Troy Smith, only completes 4-of-14 passes for 35 yards.

If head coach Jim Tressel and his staff had sat down last summer and drawn up their idea of a perfect season, this would probably have fulfilled it. Undefeated, of course. No. 1 in the nation. Big Ten champions. But it went beyond... writersbridge@hotmail.com (Darrell Laurant) Ohio State Buckeyes 2006-11-23T17:55:20-05:00 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/ohiostate/9559 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/ohiostate/9559 1. Zoned out. Ohio State leads the nation in scoring defense, permitting only 7.8 points per game. That means, obviously, that the Buckeyes are highly protective of their red zone territory. Michigan's offense has demonstrated an ability to produce points, especially on big plays, but featured back Mike Hart is on the small size, and there is no power runner to move piles inside the 10.

I was six years old at the time and knew very little about football. What I did know was that I shared a first name with the OSU punter and future quarterback (Tom Tupa), their star receiver (Cris Carter) was... sorrelltr@hotmail.com (Thomas Sorrell) Ohio State Buckeyes 2006-11-16T04:54:55-05:00 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/ohiostate/9529 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/ohiostate/9529 If you're an Ohio State football fan, the last thing you want to talk about is next year. Right now, your beloved Buckeyes are No. 1 in the nation and on the fast track to a national championship. QB Troy Smith is bearing down on the Heisman, and there are NFL prospects performing on both sides of the ball. Barring an unpleasant reversal against Michigan or the inevitable BCS bowl, this could... writersbridge@hotmail.com (Darrell Laurant) Ohio State Buckeyes 2006-11-09T05:29:34-05:00 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/ohiostate/9495 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/ohiostate/9495 Last week, someone was asking Ohio State Buckeyes head coach Jim Tressel why tight end Rory Nicol had only caught seven passes all season for 55 yards. "I don't know," Tressel replied. "I don't think anyone has doubled our tight end or anything, because they're too busy trying to double Teddy (Ginn) or Gonzo (Anthony Gonzalez)." Nicol, a 6-foot-5, 250-pound sophomore from Beaver, Pa., said... writersbridge@hotmail.com (Darrell Laurant) Ohio State Buckeyes 2006-10-27T05:33:25-05:00 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/ohiostate/9473 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/ohiostate/9473 It turns out that Notre Dame's starting quarterback isn't the only Mighty Quinn on the college football scene this fall. Brady Quinn, meet Quinn Pitcock. Actually, the two have already met, in last January's Fiesta Bowl. But Brady wouldn't want to meet Ohio State's Quinn now. Last season, Pitcock had 28 tackles, a fumble recovery, a blocked punt and three tackles for loss, but only one sack.... writersbridge@hotmail.com (Darrell Laurant) Ohio State Buckeyes 2006-10-20T05:11:25-05:00 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/ohiostate/9442 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/ohiostate/9442 The best offensive line in America? It would be tough to top the five guys at Ohio State -- literally. Height-wise, that unit reads more like the starting five for the Buckeye basketball team -- from left to right, 6-8 (LT Alex Boone), 6-8 (LG Steve Rehring), 6-5 (C Doug Datish), 6-5 (RG T.J. Downing), 6-7. (RT Kirk Barton).

While Wells didn't score against the Hawkeyes, he not only played his first meaningful minutes, but led OSU's rushers with a 5.6 yard average - he gained 78 yards on 14 carries,... writersbridge@hotmail.com (Darrell Laurant) Ohio State Buckeyes 2006-10-06T04:54:41-05:00 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/ohiostate/9384 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/ohiostate/9384 There is a tendency to overlook Antonio Pittman on the Ohio State football team. Last year, the talk was all about A.J. Hawk, Bobby Carpenter and the Buckeye defense. This year, Troy Smith and Ted Ginn Jr. are considered the Heisman hopefuls, and the arrival of highly touted freshman RB Chris Wells this fall gave rise to speculation about how long it would take for Wells to unseat Pittman as the... writersbridge@hotmail.com (Darrell Laurant) Ohio State Buckeyes 2006-09-20T05:09:08-05:00 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/ohiostate/9354 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/ohiostate/9354 Last season, the Ohio State Buckeye linebackers went after opposing offenses like a trio of feeding sharks. The fins belonged to A.J. Hawk, Bobby Carpenter and Anthony Schlegel, all NFL draftees. This time around, the Buckeyes will take more of a piranha approach to the position. But the 2006 linebackers will still bite.

Yet both teams will also be laying it on the line - literally.
