Russellitis: OSU safety Anderson Russell has played well this season but has dropped numerous interceptions this season. Anderson has become the butt of some good-natured kidding from his teammates, even Head Coach Jim Tressel.

"I heard Anderson Russell say he needs to cut his hands off," said Tressel.
"What are you going to do? Our kids are playing fast, and sometimes when you play fast those things happen."
Russell's roommate, Malcolm Jenkins, has a plan to help Russell hang onto the football.
"He's my roommate so I told him that every time I see him in the house I'm going to throw a football at him until he catches it," laughed Jenkins.
Russell remains philosophical about his current woes holding onto sure interceptions.
"As soon as I wake up tomorrow I'm going to go buy a football," said a smiling Russell.
"I'm going to keep it in my hand all day and throw it around at the house."
While Russell dropped a couple of more against Purdue, he did record two sacks in blitz situations. Russell credited the OSU blitz scheme for his success as a pass rusher against the Boilermakers.
"James (Laurinaitis) is coming off the corner with me so he kind of takes up the blockers because they kind of focus on him and it really frees me up," said Russell.
