The Ohio State Buckeyes continue to finish their season by Thanksgiving Day. During the Jim Tressel era, the Bucks are making a habit of playing in BCS bowls games. This gives Ohio State almost two full months of practice in between games. The media and fans continue to think of this as a negative. Tressel, being the successful head coach that he is, uses this time to develop his young players.
Coach Tressel and his staff feel that this time last year allowed them to develop the young secondary that is playing on this undefeated squad. The Buckeye starters are still recovering from the hard fought victory over the “the team up north”, while the young players will continue to develop.
The other positive is that if you give Coach Tressel 50 days to prepare for any game, it usually spells trouble for the opponent.
