Ohio State coach Jim Tressel said Tuesday that quarterback Terrelle Pryor included a tribute to Michael Vick on his face during the Buckeyes' opener because "there's probably not a more compassionate human being in the world than Terrelle." In Saturday's 31-27 win over Navy, Pryor had lettering on his eyeblack patches in honor of his sister and also Vick. After the game, Pryor said he loved Vick and didn't think the NFL quarterback was getting a fair shake from people critical of his role in bankrolling a dogfighting ring. ressel said the reason Pryor wore the tribute to Vick was because he's such a kindhearted person. Tressel said Ohio State had no policy about what players could or could not paint on the black patches that some wear under their eyes. A year ago, LB James Laurinaitis frequently had a Bible verse written on the patches on his cheeks.
