“I rise today to congratulate the Ohio State University Buckeyes football team for their victory in the 2010 NCAA Rose Bowl. On January 1, the Ohio State Buckeyes of the Big Ten Conference faced off against the Oregon Ducks from the Pac-10 Conference for the 96th Rose Bowl game. The Buckeyes defeated the Ducks by a score of 26-17, collecting their seventh Rose Bowl crown. The Buckeyes finished their season with an 11-2 record and a fifth national ranking. In addition to winning its seventh Rose Bowl title, Ohio State won its fifth consecutive Big Ten title, playing in its fifth consecutive BCS bowl game. The Buckeyes have played in eight BCS games, the most of any school. The players and coaches deserve to be recognized for their outstanding accomplishments. Congratulations are in order for Terrelle Pryor, Ohio State's quarterback and 2010 Rose Bowl MVP. Pryor threw for 266 yards, ran for 72 yards, and scored two touchdowns, leading all players from both teams in these categories. I also want to extend my congratulations to Head Coach Jim Tressel. Coach Tressel just completed his ninth season with the Buckeyes. Since taking the position, Tressel has led the Buckeyes to an overall record of 94-21, with nine bowl appearances and one national championship.”
