Freeman honored for academics; Ballard to start at TE
Buckeye senior linebacker Marcus Freeman (Wayne) has been selected to the ESPN The Magazine/CoSIDA academic all-district team for District 4. He is now eligible for Academic All-America consideration.
Freeman is joined on the team by wide receiver Brian Robiskie.
Freeman, a graduate student in education with a 3.35 grade-point average, is the Buckeyes’ second-leading tackler with 56 stops and a nominee for the Bobby Bowden, ARA Sportsmanship and Wuerffel trophies.
OSU players named to the all-district academic second team were receiver Brian Hartline and offensive linemen Bryant Browning, Andrew Moses and Andrew Miller. District 4 includes all colleges in Ohio, Michigan, Kentucky, Tennessee and Alabama.
The Academic All-America teams will be announced Tuesday, Nov. 25.
GAME NOTES: Some nuggets to chew on as OSU (7-2) looks to get back in the win column Saturday at Northwestern (7-2):
— Springboro’s Jake Ballard will get his fourth start of the season at tight end.
— Chris Wells needs 141 yards rushing to reach 3,000 for his career.
— Jim Tressel’s Buckeye teams are 15-2 after a loss.
— ESPN2 will televise the noon game. Dave Pasch will handle play-by-play. Heisman Trophy winner Andre Ware will provide commentary. It’ll be interesting to hear Ware break down Terrelle Pryor’s game.

gobucks09 i never said THIS week was a home game..actually i admit it I thought it was, but….my original question still stands.I know its all about money but they do have a lopsided home field advantage year in and year out.
