might have won the Nebraska game, but still would have lost @Miami and MSU

^^^
My point exactly. This team would have been no better than 6-2 right now with or without Tressel and I don't think Fickell should have to take blame for where they are now. The more I think about it Tressel knew there was a likely chance this was his last season and he also knew this was a young team that would lose some early games especially with the suspended players, so the weasel bailed on these kids and most people think he "did it to take the heat off the program". I say BS Mr. Tressel you've been discoverd to be a fraud.

Most said they thought we would have won both the MSU and Neb games. I'm not so sure. Bollman would still have been calling plays in his boss's ear and in fact I'm not so sure the Neb game would've been that close becuz Tress may have started Bauserman anyway.

I think they would've run the ball more against Nebraska when they had the lead and milked the clock. Chucking it two or three times (stopping the clock each time) and punting let the cornhuskers get back in it. They probably would have won that game.

^ IF...they were within striking distance in the first place. I still think JT would've most likely started Bauserman and we'd never been in a position to milk the clock anyway.
