Buckeyes trying to avoid deja vu all over again
NEW ORLEANS -- The speed thing you can accept. Jim Tressel's Columbus Beef Trust has been told for years that it is slower than a broken watch. At least when it comes to that big, bad, blew-by-you SEC speed.
Ohio State coaches have all but admitted it in their preparations for Monday's national championship game. In December, they installed a practice drill called "SEC Tiger Drill." That's not too obvious is it?
"I think it's our coaches saying, 'Maybe they are faster than us. Maybe we do need to work on our speed,'" said Ohio State offensive tackle Alex Boone.
How many programs have a "speed coordinator?" Former Olympic sprinter Butch Reynolds helped put together the drills. Practices are twice stopped at random so the team can run sprints the width of the field.
"I wish we would have done it last year," defensive back Malcolm Jenkins said.
Pouncing on the speed angle this week is easier than a hooker a block off Bourbon Street. There is at least a kernel of truth to it. Conclusive video evidence shows that Florida wiped Ohio State off the field a year ago in the BCS title game.

To begin with, are Ohio State and LSU even the two best teams in the country? I'm just asking.
Sorry, but there's a reason why this year's BCS championship doesn't feel like a true national title game. And that's because there are too many questions about the two finalists, and too many other qualified candidates for the game.
Earlier in the week, Georgia turned formerly undefeated Hawaii into pineapple pulp during a 41-10 Sugar Bowl victory. And USC and Traveler just finished leaving hoof marks on Illinois during the 49-17 Rose Bowl win. That's the same Illinois team that beat Ohio State in Columbus.
