Things to Watch

OSU Back In Driver's Seat
Starting the Big Ten season with two losses appeared to quickly take OSU off the path to the Big Ten Championship in Indy. However, with a win over Illinois and a loss by Wisconsin, Ohio State again has a chance to win the Leaders division and make it to Indy. Penn State currently leads the division and has no conference losses, but their remaining games will be difficult against Illinois, Nebraska, Ohio State, and Wisconsin. If Ohio State wins out, Penn State will need to lose a second game in order for Ohio State to win the Leaders division. Ohio State would control the tie-breaker with wins over Wisconsin and Penn State.

Roster Updat
e
Jaamal Berry is listed in a police report for hitting a man in the face with his open fist at 2AM late last Friday. The Columbus Police have not filed criminal charges against Berry, although the victim's attorney has indicated that he did file a lawsuit against Berry. The old saying needs to be stated, "Nothing good happens after midnight (or ten o'clock according to Tressel.)" Berry previously was involved in a physical altercation with a student on campus back in September, but no charges were filed. At this point Berry has not been suspended for the Wisconsin game, but he will be if charges are filed, and possibly even if charges aren't filed. Backup cornerback Dominic Clarke missed the Illinois game after a BB gun incident, and he is available to play this week.
