Tressel defends decision on Worthington

BUCKEYES BUZZ:@ DL Doug Worthington won't start but may get to play when the Buckeyes meet Youngstown State on Saturday. Worthington was arrested July 26 on charges he was driving while drunk, two weeks shy of his 21st birthday.
He has not been suspended from the team, even though a smattering of schools across the nation have suspended players heading into their season-openers.
On Thursday, Jim Tressel was asked why.

He added, "It's a big-picture thing. It's a whole body of work, the total time that a young man has been here.
