2009 Ohio State Football Preview:
Head Coach: Jim Tressell
The 2009 Ohio State Buckeyes will be one of the best teams in college football. The Buckeyes have been the top team in the Big 10 for the past decade, so they are used to being part of the National Championship conversation. The 2009 OSU squad's National Championship hopes will rest squarely on the young shoulders of super Soph quarterback Terrelle Pryor. If Pryor can improve upon his play from his fantastic 2008 season, when he started as a true freshman, then watch out for the Buckeyes. The Buckeyes lost a few key skill positions to the NFL, but Pryor's mobility and passing make him capable of taking over a game on his own. On defense Head Coach Jim Tressel has to replace a few key players from the 2008 Ohio State team, but has talent across his frontline and Safety Kurt Coleman returning. Ohio State will get an early test when the always powerful USC Trojans roll into Columbus, for what should be one of the biggest games of the season.
