OSU is now 109-8-4 in home openers since the inception of the program in 1890. Head coach Jim Tressel has won 15 consecutive season openers and 19 of his last 21. His Buckeye teams have outscored opponents 354-116 in 10 openers, an average margin of victory of 23.8 points. He is 19-5-1 all-time in season openers and 10-0 at Ohio State.

In what could be Ohio State's most significant pickup at quarterback in close to a decade, the Buckeyes landed four-star QB Braxton Miller (Huber Heights, Ohio/Wayne), the No. 2 quarterback in the Class of 2011, on Thursday when he chose Ohio State over Florida and a host of other offers.

The Gray squad led by Redshirt Freshman quarterback Kenny Guiton escaped a trap set up by the Scarlet team and managed to pull out a victory in the spring game by a score of 17-14. The trap was set when Scarlet scored a touchdown with 5 minutes left to take a 14-10 lead and proceeded to recover an onside kick. A key interception from Nate Oliver gave Gray the ball and the chance to move down the field for the go-ahead score on a 45 yard pass to a suddenly confident looking Taurian Washington from Guiton.

The Ohio State football team's running back position sports about as much depth as it has ever had under Jim Tressel in his time at the helm of the program.
