The Buckeye Season is now underway and so is the Buckeye Insider. Join Mike Miller and I each week for comprehensive Ohio State coverage, from Coach Tressel's weekly press conference on Tuesday, extended interviews and previews on the web all week long, to game coverage and analysis on Saturday, TV-44 has got all your Buckeye needs covered.
The depth chart released earlier this week does not list Brandon Saine, but today, Coach Tressel said the Piqua sophomore is 90-95% healthy and should see playing time this Saturday against Youngstown St. Coach said the only prominent injury belongs to OL Kyle Mitchum, the 5th year senior missed most of last year with the same foot problem.
As for DE Doug Worthington, Tressel said his off field legal problems have been taken care of from an institutional stand point and he should see playing time Saturday, but “won’t be getting the car keys back at the start of the game,” meaning Worthington’s DUI will cost him the start but not the full game.
And yes, Tressel is expecting Terrelle Pryor to see action against the Penguins in the 1st half, but added he'd like to see all 3 quarterbacks get playing time before halftime, but goal number 1 was to win the game.
