Don't you guys think good ole conservative Tressel will only play Beanie against the likes of Kent State if he's confident that it won't affect things for the rest of the season??? It seems to me that if Beanie is playing this weekend, we can be sure of one of two things:
1. Beanie's ankle isn't as bad as we think.
2. His ankle isn't going to heal with a week or two rest. It's going to take extended off-season.
Either way, with the limited info we get on injuries now, how could we possibly second-guess Tressel with this one?

We are doomed.
Due to the short-sightedness of the coaching staff, we get the fewest game reps for kick-off returns of any team in the country. The results speak for themselves.
I hope we can at least make a game out of it.

Wait 'til Brandon works his way in there....we will have the kick-off returns for score....I promise |

Upsets get Ohio State's attention
Staying focused is the key to not fumbling away games against opponents, Tressel says.

COLUMBUS ? Sure, football coaches had been telling Brian Hartline's teams for years not to overlook the weaker opponents.
"You don't always see it," said Hartline, an Ohio State sophomore receiver, "but in the past couple weeks we've definitely seen it."
Every few weeks this college football season, another upset has occurred that seems to become one of the greatest in history. First, it was Appalachian State's victory against Michigan in the season opener. Next, it was 37-point underdog Syracuse knocking off Louisville. Then last Saturday, Stanford, nearly a six-touchdown underdog, beat USC by a point in Los Angeles.

Ohio State trying not to overlook Kent
Wednesday, October 10, 2007

REPOSITORY SPORTS WRITER
COLUMBUS A week ago, Jim Tressel said his team had to take its biggest step toward improvement if Ohio State was to beat Purdue.
The Buckeyes made that steep step. On Saturday, they have a little one.
It?s the kind that?s easiest to trip over. Kent State (3-3) will try to be the first Ohio team to beat the Buckeyes since 1921.
?They?re supposed to be weaker than us, but if you think like that, you trip up,? receiver Brian Hartline said. ?It?s probably why Stanford beat USC. ... You can?t look at anyone like that anymore.?
