COLUMBUS, Ohio -- In a packed media room at the Jack Nicklaus Museum Tuesday, Ohio State football coach Jim Tressel answered questions from reporters about an at-times subpar performance against Navy, the upcoming heavyweight tilt against USC and of course Terrelle Pryor's eye-black tribute to Michael Vick.

Tressel opens the soundbite in the video below after being asked if the team has any kind of policy about messages players like to write on their eye-black, wristbands or shoes. And he concludes it with some heavy praise about Pryor's character.

"If there's anyone who feels bad about something or downtrodden about something, he's the first one there with his arms around him," Tressel said. Watch the video below for more of Tressel's reaction:
