Ohio State may look a little different when it invades the Big House on Nov. 21. The school announced Wednesday that the Buckeyes will wear special "cutting edge" uniforms from Nike that pay tribute to their undefeated 1954 national championship team.

Maybe those "throwback" uniforms will remind Michigan of the days when they used to beat OSU now and then. We can only hope.

heck of a story

Why? Is it because of that all important 55th anniversary?

As long as they weren't designed by whoever does oregon's uni's, they should be ok.

You're up early ICE......unless you're out of town.

At least Oregon's unis look respectable this year. It could be worse - it seems like Virginia Tech comes out with some ultra-ugly uniform every year for Nike (look at what they wore last Thursday when they lost to UNC for an example).

Just up early. Gotta keep the blood flowing.

can you use cutting edge and 1954 in the same sentence unless it's say 1952 or 1953?

And this is more interesting than Clausen's injury? IMO, I think they're both pretty pointless.

Maybe tOSU thought Pryor can see these jerseys better when he makes his reads

Pryor will be booed loudly by 110,000 screaming fans on every move he makes. Not sure how the kid will handle the pressure of it all. Ohio State has the better defense, Penn State's offensive line is terrible below average. Senior QB should be the difference maker. Not sure how the retro jerseys will factor into anything. Tressel used to outcoach opponents but that myth has been shattered, now he is just a regular boring game planner playing not to lose each game.

vt colors are a good combination...they should rock orange pants once in a while...I wish they would go back to the 95' helmets w/white facemasks and stripes.

I should hope he is playing not to loose! So basically you are saying he is playing to win?

Anyways, I don't care what jersey they wear as long as they can get pressure on Clark. I think that Pyror is making good strides but the offense is going to need to put up at least 21 to beat a good team.

I wouldn't say it was the Buckeyes choking by loosing in back to back title games. I would say they were beat by superior teams.

Throwback or throw up?

I wonder what will be cutting edge about the uniforms... waterproof? windproof? Tackleproof?
