Weekly Awards

Jim Tressel handed out his weekly awards at his traditional Monday luncheon: Terrelle Pryor was the offensive player of the game. On defense, the highly lauded Chimdi Chekwa was recognized. He was also the Walter Camp defensive player of the week and the Big Ten defensive player of the week. On special teams, Devin Barclay was recognized for his 5 field goals. Barclay also shared Big Ten special teams recognition. The Parker Lineman of the week was Justin Boren. Attack Force player of the week was Dexter Larimore. There was no Tatum hit of the week.

Tressel was somewhat sarcastic at his weekly presser - he tongue-in-cheek chastised the media for their lack of innovation in their questions. Many times he was asked about OU and the constant theme seemed to be that this is the classic "trap game". Of course it is. And yes, teams slip up against lesser opponents every year - just ask Purdue. But I think this team has a maturity and charisma about it that won't let that happen. Frankly, too many of the guys certainly on offense know how that loss to Purdue felt.

Tressel also let slip, if you will, that TP got about 12 carries in the game vs. Miami and that 12 carries is kind of a magic number. Interesting.

The game time for the Eastern Michigan game on 9/25 has been announced as 3:30. ABC has opted to pick up the coverage.
