Ohio State sophomore Cordle doesn't mind being center of attention
Friday, August 17, 2007

Plain Dealer Reporter
Columbus -- Jim Cordle used to throw the football in the backyard with his son, Jimmy.
"I said he might make a nice tight end," Cordle said.
But after a Pop Warner coach put the younger at Cordle at center in fourth grade because he was the only player who could snap the ball then still block, those games of catch faded away. Soon, father and son were taking to their backyard in Lancaster for a friendly game of snap.

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

I heard on 1460 (internet) that Jim Cordle won some sort of honors for the week from the coaches. I'm not sure if it was the Jim Parker OL of the week or not.
If I heard right, I'm wondering if the reason for it was his adaptation to the 3-3-5 that Akron ran. It seemed to me that he did a better job with the line calls in the second half than in the first. Perhaps then, the coaches are rewarding him for the improvement.

I saw him jawing at Barton once and the other O-linemen another time in the huddle during the Akron game...looks like he's taking charge.

The way the offensive line is playing somebody needs to.
