The natives are buzzing along High Street with serious national title talk. No one has to tell that to Buckeyes coach Jim Tressel. He dispatched coaches to Gainesville, Fla., and Clemson, S.C., in addition to Morgantown. The goal: Glean ideas on how to augment Ohio State's spread packages to improve an offense loaded with playmakers, particularly quarterback Troy Smith.
