Once you begin to move beyond basic background information, you begin to realize that there's more to than you may have first thought.

NEW ORLEANS -- Jim Tressel remembers watching the lanky Michigan freshman quarterback warming up at the Big House before The Game in 2007.

"I mean, he could spin it," Tressel said of Ryan Mallett.

Tressel wasn't sure which Michigan signal caller Ohio State would face that day in Ann Arbor. Wolverines senior Chad Henne had been dealing with a shoulder injury, and Mallett had seen action in the previous 10 games.

Mallett relieved the banged-up Henne for a stretch against the Buckeyes and had three pass attempts, completing one, in a 14-3 Ohio State victory.

"It was kind of a sleeting, rainy [day]," Tressel said. "It wasn't a wonderful time for a guy to try to spin the ball out there. Ryan came in and played some. And for a freshman, his composure and command and so forth were outstanding."

When Mallett decided to leave Michigan following a coaching change, Tressel was happy.

"I don't know if that's an honorable emotion or not," Tressel said, "but I was. And as fate would have it, I guess I was being punished for that terrible thought because here we are."

Suffice to say Tressel isn't giddy about his reunion with Mallett on Tuesday night in the Allstate Sugar Bowl.

"Now I get him as a [redshirt junior]," Tressel said. "And I get him with a great tight end and great running backs and an offensive line that hasn't missed a start and wide receivers who can make plays."

Sugar Bowl 2011 Ohio State Buckeyes and Arkansas Razorbcks Face Off

This will be an exciting football game tonight as it presents two great contenders for the Manning Award – Ohio State’s Terrelle Pryor and Arkansas’ Ryan Mallett. “It’s going to be a fun game. It’s two great teams. Obviously, I had the traditional rivalry hatred (at Michigan). I’ve still got a little Michigan in me from that. I’ve never really been a big fan (of Ohio State),” Mallett said.

The match up between the two great quarter backs almost didn’t happen after the suspension of Pryor last December 23 together with four other football players in his team for selling championship rings, jerseys and awards, and receiving improper benefits from a tattoo parlor. Pryor was the star player of the Ohio State Buckeyes after posting a 22-3 record as the team’s full-time starter the last two seasons leading them to victory in 17 of their last 18 games including a five-game winning streak to end the 2010 regular season.

Meanwhile, for the team of Arkansas, the Buckeyes’ leaders that they need to watch out for are Pryor for the passing, Herron for the rushing, and Sanzenbacher for the receiving.
