Buckeyes, Paterno fight back against critics, odds
It may gall the patrons of High Street to hear it, but the nation wrote off Ohio State six weeks ago.

Typical American college football fans know about Script Ohio and The Horseshoe and The Ten-Year War. They know that Ohio State long ago received membership in the sport’s elite. They know that even with all that glory, Buckeyes coach Jim Tressel is in the midst of the most successful run in the history of the scarlet and gray.
