Well, all I can say is, the boy became a man: Terrelle Pryor lived up to his great expectations and played the game of his life in the Rose Bowl yesterday. Also, I have to put in a plug for my hometown boy, Brandon Saine from Piqua OH, who acquitted himself with distinction. And, almost equal to Terrelle, the Buckeyes' defensive unit who permitted Oregon's acclaimed offense to be on the field for only a tad over 19 minutes, fulfilling the old axiom---if you don't have the ball, it's tough to score.
It's a pleasant change to see the Big Ten hold their own against the other conferences in the bowl games. Ohio State also got a large monkey off its back when that conservative coach, Jim Tressel, who looks like somebody's C.P.A., broke the mold and went for broke with his young quarterback and a gambling game plan.
As a former resident of Ohio and lifelong fan of O.S.U., I feel good today. The Buckeye future looks bright. Maybe one day they can find a way to beat an S.E.C. team!
Congratulations. The better team won.
