Tressel’s Job Is Safe For Another Year

In fact, he’s accomplished something that John Cooper never could. He owns Lloyd Carr:

Ohio State (9-2, 7-1) closed the regular season with six straight wins and gave coach Jim Tressel his fourth win in five games against Michigan (7-4, 5-3).

And the game went pretty much the way the season did for Michigan. Good enough defense to win, and a promising offense that only occasionally lived up to the promises. Still, Michigan was only four scores away from an undefeated season. They’re probably the best four-loss team in the country, and they did better than I thought they would. Maybe they’ll get a good bowl matchup.
