Injury & Other Updates

Quick update ...

Dexter Larrimore and Boom Herron will miss the game due to injury.

Jim Cordle is back and available as is OL Andrew Miller. Coach Tressel spent quite a bit of time in his press conference today on the flu bug that has hit the team, noting that because OSU is a school on quarters, the flu hit the student population later and is therefore later peaking. He stated that "one" player got hit with it today but didn't give a name and was not sure if it would keep him out of the game. Experience with the H1N1 hitting the local high school is that for most kids, it is fairly short in duration - 4-5 days - and benign. For healthy football players without other underlying conditions, it might be that someone ill today could play Saturday.

Tressel did continue to lament the lack of offensive plays last Saturday - quoting 32 plays on offense. He continued to laud praise on the defense, particularly given the number of plays and the unfortunate lack of rest given the defense during the game. He pointed to a lack of adjustments on the offensive side of the ball, without pointing a finger at the QB or the coaches for the matter, but rather stating it was a collective issue. Apparently Wisconsin did some things on defense that OSU's offense did not adjust well to, but then Tressel noted that the coaches "shut it down" once the Bucks got to a 3-score advantage.

So we will see ...

GO BUCKS from JennyBucks!
