Instead of Todd, how about "The Todd."

Grading Boeckman

Boeckman's two interceptions cost him any chance at grading a winning performance on the head coach's scale, but Tressel was still pleased with how Boeckman rebounded from the two interceptions.

''Todd handled it when it didn't go as well as he liked and it didn't end up being a setback for him,'' Tressel said. ''I thought he hung in there ... You're going to have points in this next game that you're going to have to put something aside that didn't go the way you wanted it and concentrate on what he wants to happen. That was a good opportunity for that exercise.''

Great point Tressel makes here... To help your team grow you need teachable moments. To get those teachable moments for your QB on a day when your defense forces 14 punts is a true blessing.

In the spotlight: Ohio State QB Todd Boeckman
Saturday, September 15, 2007 3:27 AM

THE COLUMBUS DISPATCH

Ohio State junior quarterback Todd Boeckman is the man on the spot going into Husky Stadium today. It had to happen sometime.

Boeckman will make his first start on the road. It will be against Washington, a team many observers are labeling as a dark horse in the Pac-10, and in what can be one of the more unfriendly places in the country.

Whether he is ready for it is a moot point, offensive coordinator Jim Bollman said.

"You can prepare yourself mentally as much as you can for what's going to happen, but it's another one of those deals where we've got to go out there and experience it and perform, try to get some things done," Bollman said.

Bob Hunter commentary: Boeckman takes big step forward as QB

Sunday, September 16, 2007 4:01 AM
By Bob Hunter


THE COLUMBUS DISPATCH

SEATTLE -- When Todd Boeckman is asked about himself, he usually answers with a sentence that starts with "we."
Whether it's intentional or not, it's an especially interesting trait. He's a first-year starter, and it has been clear since last spring that Boeckman's growth and Ohio State's growth would be inextricably intertwined.
If the new Buckeyes quarterback grew quickly, the team probably would, too. If he struggled or lost his job, the season might have spiraled into a Notre Dame-like dive.
OK, that might be exaggerating a little -- particularly with a defense as good as OSU's -- but it is the harsh reality that any inexperienced quarterback faces. It is also what made yesterday such an important milestone in the Buckeyes' young season.
Boeckman struggled against Washington in the first half. This was his first test -- no, those two extra spring games the Buckeyes played against Youngstown State and Akron don't count -- and it came thousands of miles from home in a place that probably made him feel as if he had his ear 6 inches from the amplifiers at an AC/DC concert.

The one thing that Todd did yesterday that showed me that he can be/is improving as a QB was his read and throw on the TD pass to Robo. He was excited when he changed the play. I even wondered while watching what he saw to make the change.

Boeckman overcame atmosphere, nerves

OSU quarterback looked like a veteran on Saturday ? at least in the second half.

COLUMBUS ? Ohio State quarterback Todd Boeckman always knew he had the ability to manage a game on a big stage. But first, he had to learn to manage his nerves.
Boeckman generated little offense in the first half against Washington on Saturday and avoided being picked off twice only because Huskie defenders seemed to have lathered their hands with Crisco.

College football: Boeckman takes charge, just like the Buckeyes wanted

AP Sports Writer

SEATTLE Sure, it would have been easy for Todd Boeckman to hand to Chris ?Beanie? Wells. Again.

Wells already had 15 carries for 78 of what would become 138 yards rushing, and his 16th carry had already been called.

Boeckman gets passing grade in big test
Jim Naveau | [email protected] - 09.17.2007

COLUMBUS ? Two things that happened during Ohio State?s 33-14 win over Washington on Saturday indicate Todd Boeckman is becoming more and more comfortable and in control as the Buckeyes? starting quarterback, heading into their Big Ten opener against Northwestern this Saturday.
In a big-picture way, the St. Henry High School graduate demonstrated he could play in the cauldron of a loud, fired-up stadium on the road when he bounced back from a so-so first half to finish 14 of 25 for 218 yards and two touchdowns against the Huskies.

Boeckman's willingness to take a hit appreciated

Quarterbacks know that sometimes, to deliver a throw, they have to be willing to take a blow.
