Ohio State preview: Cordle aiming to continue tradition of tough centers
By JOSH HACHAT

COLUMBUS -- Jim Cordle knows the shoes he has to fill at center at Ohio State this season extend deep into the storied program's history.
In 2006, Doug Datish was a first-team All-Big Ten selection, continuing a strong tradition in the middle of the offensive line.
But don't expect the Lancaster native to feel any pressure. After all, cowering with nerves is the last thing you might expect from the massive 6-foot-4, 280-pound sophomore.
"It's pressure on one end, but on the other end, it's an opportunity," Cordle said. "We've got some great tradition at that position, but it's a challenge I like. I definitely have some big shoes to fill, but a lot of the offense is put on me to get the offense going one way or the other."
