This team wouldn't have an offense without Pittman's emergence this year. Think about that one for a second.
You're having a fantastic year, Pitty. Keep it up!! Run over Burgess for me!!!

Also keep an eye on Santonio down in the left corner of the screen. He gets on the DB and stays with him the whole play, driving him out of bounds...he took the DB completely out of the play. The blocking on the play across the board was exceptional.

He could've had a monster day if he didn't leave the game for awhile, earlier on in the game, and if the game wasn't so out of hand.

All right, all right, all right.
They say that Holmes is most likely the best blocking WR in the Big 10, he knows how to get after it thats for sure...
Another impressive performance by Pittman, not too take anything away from him, but give the O-line credit. He would continually gain 7-8 yards before he was even touched, we just blew them off of the line of scrimmage, which leads me to another though...
How the hell did Coefield, a defensive tackle, get player off the game from the Wildcats when he gashed them for 300 yards???

Couple of things
Just shows how terrible their team played!!!
I am just thankful that Pittman is starting to get some press now. He has been very good this year. Amazing how a RB and OL in sync can be very dominating.

Sucking it Up: Sophomore running back Antonio Pittman has been a vital cog in OSU's offensive renaissance this season. Pittman became just the third Buckeye sophomore to go over 1,000 yards, joining Archie Griffin and Keith Byars as OSU rushers to do so as sophs. In the second quarter against the Wildcats, however, Pittman left the field on a cart, sending a collective panic attack through the crowd. It turned out that Pittman's problem was painful, but not serious.

"I just had a back spasm, that's all," said Pittman.
Pittman returned to the field to run effectively. His treatment for the spasms in the locker room was very basic.
"Just a massage," said Pittman.
Pittman said not returning to the game on senior day was not an option.
"I've got. to give it all I've got because this is their (seniors) last go-round. My senior year I hope someone will go all-out for me.
"I feel that if it's not hurting too bad you can get out there and play. If it's not broke, play on it," Pittman said.
Pittman, from Akron, Ohio, dueled with Northwestern freshman Tyrell Sutton in game. Sutton is also from Akron. Pittman went for 134 net yards in the OSU win while Sutton netted 93 yards in defeat. Pittman, who is friendly with Sutton, looked him up on the field after the game.
"We're friends and we go back a long way," said Pittman.
"I told him to keep his head up. He's got one more game left and a bowl game and to just keep on running," Pittman said.

Antonio Pittman is having a breakout year but now he can make it a truly great one with an impressive performance at AA and, most importantly, a win. Pittman is the man!

OSU bowl plans very much TBA

Columbus- Ohio State running back Antonio Pittman had extra motivation when he returned from back spasms in the first half Saturday to help drive the offense as the Buckeyes stormed past Northwestern, 48-7.
"My mind-set was to go out there and just do my job," Pittman said. "That's the only thing I can I do so we don't go back to the Alamo Bowl."
You'd think Pittman wouldn't mind a return trip to a city practically named for him, but for weeks Pittman has been crusading against going back to San Antonio, home of the bowl that gets the fourth choice of Big Ten teams. He doesn't want to think about the Buckeyes as a fourth choice.
He shouldn't have to worry.
It wasn't the Buckeyes' win that virtually eliminated the chances of that happening, but the loss by Wisconsin on Saturday that should allow Ohio State to fall no lower than the bowl that gets the Big Ten's third pick, the Outback Bowl in Tampa.
And it was hard to ignore the two gentlemen in orange blazers at Ohio Stadium on Saturday who were there on behalf of the Orange Bowl.
The Buckeyes control some of their bowl fate. A win against Michigan would at least tie them for the Big Ten title with Penn State. But even a co-championship leaves a lot up in the air when it comes to holiday travel plans:
A BCS automatic bid: If Ohio State wins and Penn State loses to Michigan State, the Buckeyes would be outright Big Ten champs and qualify for a BCS bid to either the Fiesta, Orange or Sugar bowls. If USC plays Texas in the Rose Bowl, the order of selection for the bowls would be Fiesta, Orange, Fiesta, Sugar, with the ACC champ tied to the Orange Bowl and the SEC champ tied to the Sugar.
If, as expected, Notre Dame finishes with nine wins and among the top 12 teams in the BCS standings, the Irish would be an attractive selection with the Fiesta's first pick, especially since OSU has played in the Fiesta two of the past four years. Ohio State would then be a popular pick to go to the Orange Bowl for the first time since New Year's Day 1977, with Miami the likely foe.
A BCS at-large berth: If Penn State and Ohio State both win, the Buckeyes, up to No. 9 in the latest AP poll, would remain a candidate for one of two at-large spots in BCS bowls. They would be guaranteed an at-large spot only if they were in the top four of the BCS.
A Notre Dame team that wins out is a near-lock for one spot. At this point, the other contenders include one-loss teams like Virginia Tech, Oregon and Alabama.
Alabama's loss actually hurt Ohio State. The Crimson Tide probably won't play in the SEC title game. If they beat Auburn to end the regular season, they'd finish as a one-loss traditional power bouncing back from some tough times, with fans likely hungry for a major bowl.
But as an Orange Bowl rep noted after taking in the spectacle that is a home game Saturday in Columbus, no bowl can ignore the possibilities of what Ohio State has to offer.
The Capital One Bowl: This bowl, with the top choice of Big Ten teams not in BCS bowls, would love to get the Buckeyes in Orlando for the first time since 1996 if Ohio State beats Michigan, hoping the BCS passes on OSU.
"Obviously the Big Ten would like to get two BCS teams," said bowl spokesman Brett Sowell, "but selfishly for us, it would be better."
If Ohio State loses to Michigan, the rallying Wolverines, with the same record as the Buckeyes, would probably be chosen here, since performance in the final five games of the season is one of the many selection criteria.
The Outback Bowl: With the next choice after the Capital One Bowl, Ohio State would be a probable pick if it loses to Michigan. The Buckeyes lost to South Carolina in Tampa after both the 2000 and 2001 seasons. But if Michigan blows out the Buckeyes, Wisconsin, in the final season for coach Barry Alvarez, could be chosen, even though the Badgers would finish one game behind Ohio State in the conference standings.
That's not likely. But that would leave the Alamo. And that wouldn't make Pittman very happy.

Antonio Pittman has been my favorite offensive player this year and he has a bright future.
