The Buckeye Battle Cry | Offensive Tackle: Key to the Season
Excellent article over at the BBC, but I'm curious: is it out of the question that Adams and Miller will settle into a rotation, and the staff will wait to see who looks better during an actual game? Or is USC too soon for this?

Villains add spice to college football - ESPN
Number three: Maurice Clarett. Number ten: Woody Hayes. Jim Tressel checks in too, all the way down at 35. I wouldn't put any stock in the "rankings" - it's in alphabetical order.

Butch Carter, Shane's brother, and Garner Pleasant, Aubrey's father, are not pleased, and have threatened legal action. I have no idea if the suspension is justified, so I'm not taking sides, but I will say this: Bielema, your ass is burnin'. Might want to stand up, at the very least.

Welcome to Hell Week (Blogging the Buckeyes)
Tressel is taking away players' ipods, cell phones, laptops, even TVs (all that work for nothing, eh, Terrelle?) in the spirit of "Hell Week", in which the Navy SEALS "weed out" many candidates in a system of isolation. There will also be "unique drills" and "condition surprises", meaning the days of "TOOTSIE POPS FOR REHRING" may be nearing an end.

Mauti Suffers Knee Injury - Black Shoe Diaries

That, my friends, is a torn ACL. Never a good thing, and possibly a season-ender for Penn State's starting MLB. I'd say the Moeller injury keeps us fairly even.
