RB Danny "Boom" Herron (official thread)

Updates on Herron, Larimore

In the Big Ten coaches conference call, Jim Tressel sounded optimistic about running back Daniel Herron's chance to be ready for Saturday's game against Wisconsin, but doesn't expect defensive tackle Dexter Larimore to be able to play.

First, Tressel on Herron: "His health is coming along. He was probably 85 percent going into the (Indiana) game. With the adrenaline going, he probably could have helped us. But we want him to be 100 percent. He worked out Sunday, though our workout on Sunday is only 45 minutes. Monday is our day off. I hope he?s near 100 percent because we?re going to need him."

Also, TB Dan Herron (sprained ankle) will play against the Badgers after missing last week's game ? perhaps spurred to a speedy recovery by Brandon Saine's 100-yard rushing day.

Injury report

Ohio State running back Daniel Herron left in the second quarter because of an apparent injury to his left ankle and did not return.

This team needs a healthy Boom Herron. A big part of their struggles may have been the absence of Herron, who carried the ball only twice Saturday before leaving the game after reinjuring his ankle. It’s not that Herron is that much better than Saine. In fact, I would argue that Saine is still the best back on the team, but neither is going to be Beanie Wells and tote the rock 25-30 times in a game. Together they make a pretty solid tandem because of the way they complement each other, but they aren’t nearly as effective alone. Say what you want about freshman Jordan Hall, and he appears to have excellent upside, but he’s not Herron.

Get better big guy

[Powair7s]

looked to me like his sphincter got stretched out...Did anyone else notice it looked like the defender pulled his head out of Boom's arse on the play he was hurt? If you missed it you must watch it again. Looked like Boom was giving birth.

Get well soon buddy miss ya.

Jim Tressel's Ohio State news conferece: Dan Herron out, defenses forcing Buckeyes' offense to adjust
By Doug Lesmerises
October 13, 2009

Notes from Jim Tressel's news conference today:

* Running back Dan Herron, who left the Wisconsin game with what looked like a reaggravated left ankle injury, will miss Saturday's game against Purdue and could be out longer. Brandon Saine will start, backed up by freshman Jordan Hall, while freshman Jaamal Berry, who hasn't played yet, continues to be a question mark. Redshirt freshman Jermil Martin would prepare as the possible third tailback.

-- Running backs coach Dick Tressel said Boom Herron is where he was two weeks ago, able to practice, but not healthy enough to where the staff feels comfortable putting him into a game and risking aggravating his ankle sprain. At this point, I would bet Herron sits this week.

Tress said in his presser that Boom is questionable for this week, sounds like he won't play.

[Buckskin86]

The Buckeyes won?t have Boom Herron back in full capacity this week as he continues to get over an ankle injury suffered in week four against Illinois, but Tressel said they are hoping he can take a few snaps this week to get himself mentally back in the flow before their game against the Nittany Lions.

?We would love to have him turn the corner, even if it?s just to play a little to get over that hump that I?m back in game-form. That would be a big bonus for us, both for Saturday and beyond.?

With that being said, Herron will still be the No. 4 option at tailback Saturday against the Aggies.

?Jordan Hall will play plenty and Jermil Martin has shown he can add to the cause,? Tressel said of the team?s two freshmen backs.

Good to see Boom back on the field Saturday, especially his 53-yd TD run. Looked like he has returned to form... the Bucks will need that for the November stretch.

[Buckskin86]

Running back Daniel "Boom" Herron tweaked his high-ankle sprain suffered six weeks ago and left the action limping, but he could have played if needed in the fourth quarter and is listed as probable this week.
