Don't forget Pittman, his ability to run opened up the passing game and vice-versa. I think we are going to go back to power football until Tressel trusts the QB. Troy had the freedom to do those things as he didn't turn the ball over very much. It will be a long time before we see a field general (and Michigan-killer) like Troy Smith again... Lots of power I and 2 tight-end sets, some short routes, crossing patterns, screens. I don't see Tressel opting to move the ball down the field like the past 2 years, that is, unless one of the QBs steps up and makes consistently good decisions and throws. As long as the W's come, I'm going to be a happy camper. And don't forget about the D this year, it's going to be a killer I think once the D-line gets a little experience. Go Bucks!

I only hope we don't go back to the old conservative style of the past. Do we even realize yet how exciting it was to watch Troy and Teddy and Gonzo, and last season that sensational Robiskie -- compared to the old days -- even the Krenzel days. I used to watch Craig take a snap and just pray he wouldn't drop it or throw an interception -- just hold my breath. With Troy, the past couple of years, you couldn't wait for the next snap -- because so many of the results were so phenomenonally exciting! That's what I will miss most of all when watching them play this year --and I will be upset if Tressel goes all ultra-conservative. Then here's my suggestion: Jimmy, just throw the ball up there -- let's play exciting, wide-open football. GO BUCKS. Beat everybody, but especially, BEAT MICHIGAN!!!!!!!!!!!
