Ohio State Team Report (Yahoo! Sports)

Tue, 24 Nov 2009 21:36:09 PST

Jim Tressel admitted again following Ohio State's 21-10 win against Michigan that the offense's biggest task is keeping the defense out of tough spots.

It isn't pretty, and it certainly isn't very exciting. Tresselball has, however, taken Ohio State to five consecutive Big Ten championships and now to Pasadena.

The Rose Bowl berth was secure long before the Buckeyes beat Michigan. They simply used their rivalry game to remind everyone how they do it year after year: Running the ball, winning the field position battle and playing good defense.

Ohio State ran for 251 yards, forced Michigan quarterback Tate Forcier into five turnovers and won an outright conference championship with Tressel's eighth win in nine years against his biggest rival.

The deep and abiding enmity between Ohio and Michigan is certainly nothing new.

In these parts, people don't change sides easily. You're either born a Michigan fan or your bassinet has scarlet and gray trim. That's why, in the days leading up to No. 9 Ohio State at Michigan on Saturday, there is so much talk about the curious case of Justin Boren. Boren is from Ohio and starts at left guard for the Buckeyes.

For years, the annual showdown between rivals Ohio State and Michigan has been called "The Game." Maybe this year it should be referred to as The "Just Another" Game. No. 9 Ohio State (9-2, 6-1) has already assured itself of its first spot in the Rose Bowl in 13 years after clinching at least a share of the Big Ten title and the conference's Bowl Championship Series...
