16. Tressell wasn't a fan of running up the score

I think the Cincinnati coach was with Tressell earlier in his career. Love watching Cincinnati play and they had a lot of blowouts and they have that win against Norte Dame on the road. Not impressed with SEC playing tune up teams in November.

Ohio State does have a really good offense though.
