As many of you know, or if you don’t, I went to Ohio State in the early 2000’s and was a student when Jim Tressel arrived on campus. The Senator took over a program that couldn’t get over the edge (win big games) and helped rebuild it to what we see now. Tressel won a BCS Championship in his second season, after a very shaky 7-5 initial campaign although they did win their rivalry game against Michigan after his infamous speech.
What we are seeing with Marcus Freeman and Notre Dame could very well be a similar trajectory and here as some very interesting similarities that I see between the two.
