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?

your exactly right. tressel has a history of resting guys when he can and when it will help. if a rest will help beanies ankle he certainly should get it. i have plenty of confidence in wells light and saine to carry the load in his absense.
beanie has more than enough reps both last year and this year. he also has solid backups. id like to see him dressed for the game. but unless we need him due to injuries, sit him, and let him heal. we shouldn't need beanie to beat kent state. but we will in the stretch of games we have coming up. we're going to need him 100% very shortly regardless of how "weak" the big 10 is perceived to be.
