All eyes will be on Ohio State quarterback Terrelle Pryor and Matt Barkley during tonight’s game at Ohio Stadium.

But keep an eye out for Frank Cosenza Jr.

The Ohio State senior is a sousaphone player in The Ohio State University Marching Band and he will be dotting the ‘i’ tonight during the performance of ‘Script Ohio.’

I always knew they took their football seriously in Ohio, but the band also is on another level.

How many other universities supply the press box with a 12-page band media guide that includes a separate 10-page insert featuring detailed diagrams of the formations that will be performed before the game and at halftime?
