that was his first 3rd 0r 4th down he didnt make. So you might want to think about that again. He ran left and had no blocking and thats the lines strong point blocking for the running game. So what was he suppose to do. The blocking collapsed and he got hit in the backfield

actually I believe the run he's talking about... was a 4th and 1 @ the 15.. the line had driven BG back two yards off the line of scrimmage... but Beanie cut outside and tripped...
if Beanie follows Boones fanny instead... I'm up another 250K in vcash today !!

OHIO STATE NOTEBOOK
Wells gets chance to atone for fumble
Sunday, October 15, 2006
Ken Gordon and Tim May
THE COLUMBUS DISPATCH
Ohio State?s Chris Wells led the Buckeyes in rushing with 53 yards after getting a second chance following his early fumble.
EAST LANSING, Mich. ? He had just fumbled and his coach wanted to talk to him. It didn?t look good for Ohio State running back Chris "Beanie" Wells yesterday.
But instead, two words he heard from coach Jim Tressel made all the difference.
"(Tressel) said, ?Hold onto the ball next time,? " Wells said. "?Next time?; that?s the key to tell me I?m going back in the game."
Wells? fumble came on OSU?s third play against Michigan State. It could have been disastrous, and certainly, freshmen have been benched for similar grievous mistakes in the past.
But Tressel put Wells back in as soon as the Buckeyes got the ball back, and in a critical situation, no less. On third-and-1 from the MSU 15, Wells bulled for 3 yards.
Three plays later, the Buckeyes scored to take a 7-0 lead.
"I don?t know exactly what happened on that fumble," Tressel said. "But we needed him to go back in there and get back on the horse that threw him."
Wells ended up as OSU?s leading rusher with 53 yards and a TD on 12 carries. That was partly because starter Antonio Pittman rolled an ankle late in the first quarter.
Wells was grateful for the second chance.
"Coach Tressel had enough confidence to throw me back in the game," he said. "It allowed me to just put the fumble out of my head."
Better watch out
Ohio State center Doug Datish said the Buckeyes were warned all week about Michigan State?s historical hex on top-ranked OSU teams.
"We had different guys come in and talk to us about what happened in 1998 ? and we learned about what happened in 1974 ? we didn?t want that to be repeated on our watch, and it wasn?t, so that was good," Datish said.
But he said the offense in particular didn?t leave Spartan Stadium with a big head, despite its 421-yard day.
"We?ve got a long way to go, I think," Datish said. "We haven?t unlocked our full potential yet, not even close. We?ve got a bunch of great players, and if we can come together and crank it up even more, we?ll be going pretty good."
Half - a - shoe north
When the game started, scarlet peppered the green in the Spartan Stadium stands. But by the middle of the third quarter, OSU fans were at least in a 50-50 situation as the MSU supporters filtered out, and the Buckeyes could tell.
"We did have a lot of people," receiver Anthony Gonzalez said. "I heard the OH ? IO going. I?m surprised that (the Spartans) don?t have more support."
Predictable , huh ?
On their first scoring drive of the second half, the Buckeyes ran a reverse on the first play with Gonzalez for 29 yards.
They came right back on the next play with a reverse to Ted Ginn Jr. for 16, moving the ball quickly to the MSU 8. Both reverses went right to left.
Tressel was asked whether he?d called two in a row before.
"Probably never," he said.
But with the Spartans putting an extra man in the tackle box, he said it called for it.
Buckeye bits
Aaron Pettrey connected on a 32-yard field goal, his fifth field goal in his past six tries after starting the season 0 of 2. . . .Pittman has scored in 12 straight games, and Troy Smith has thrown a TD pass in nine straight. . . .The Buckeyes have intercepted a pass in every game this season. Of OSU?s 13 picks, seven have been by linebackers.

his only chances to run have been it mostly 3rd or 4th down and the defenses were always ready for him until yesterdays game. I've watched him from his freshmen year in h.s. and I always laughed at that Peterson comparison. First of all, size and running styles. He is really fast but, not peterson type . If I remember correctly peterson either won or finished VERY highly in the 100 meters at the state championship. To me, I think Wells is in the bo jackson, h. walker or a faster eddie george mold. He loves contact. He has a huge different body type of Whites but, about the same type of punishing running style with speed that White doesn't have. |
