Someone asked if Pittman has the ability to be a star RB.... Well, maybe he does. I didn't think so, but based on his performance the past two weeks, I'd have to say he certainly has a chance.

Per the ozone....
Big Day for Pittman: Antonio Pittman had a breakout day against the Gophers, rushing for a career-high 186 yards and scoring his first two touchdowns of the season. His 67 touchdown jaunt in the third quarter that broke a 17-17 tie was one of the turning points of the game.

"Antonio's long run in the third quarter was a real uplifter for the whole team," said OSU Head Coach Jim Tressel.
Pittman cleared the line of scrimmage on the play with the help of great blocking by offensive linemen Rob Sims, T. J. Downing and Alex Boone. Once he cleared the linebackers, Pittman lit up the afterburners and simply outran everybody.
"People don't realize just how fast he is," said OSU wide receiver Anthony Gonzalez.
"He showed how fast he really is. We all knew, but now everyone else knows it as well," Gonzalez said.

Not about Pittman, but not worth a thread of its own...
If you didn't catch this during the game, watch it (listen to it) on Mili's Clip thread.
You can clearly hear Sims' hit on the linebacker.

Pittman is now #16 in the country in yards per game with 110.25 ypg. He also has a solid 5.55 ypc. With 882 yards for the season, there's no question he'll crack 1,000 against Illinois...it's just a matter of if he will do so by halftime.

I say he'll get around 15 carries in the first half, which should be enough against Illinois...

Pittman is a stud!!!
Pittman is nothing but a stud...all last week the TV peopel were talk about the Minnesota running back, Marony but instead it was Pittman who ended up haveing the big game...I mean 186 yds and 2 TD's I would call that a great day for anyone. and he finally scored a touchdown...I mean Ohio State has played how many games now and they have been so close to the endzone, but never has he scored before this game......so he busts out a 67 ud TD run...which I am sure was a huge confidence builder for him.....I believe this kid has a bright future with OSU and will be a 1,000 yd rusher before the season is over.
