What was the name of the SNCO who beat that into your head?

Wow, a 6'3" corner, hopefully scUM throws some fade/jump balls with their "huge" slot recievers against OJ. Typical genius rr playcalling

On a serious note, this is one of the advantages to JT's method of recruiting speed, big speed and power. Some teams (cough, cough Fatso Weis) go out and get the best HS position players thinking they'll translate into the best college players at said position. JT doesn't pigeon hole kids into a spot, he finds out where they fit best as they develop, so far so good.

Five younger Buckeyes to track after watching one Ohio State practice

OSU
Orhian Johnson

2. S Orhian Johnson, Fr. (redshirt) - Made a nice interception, plucking a tipped ball off the ground, though the coaches had to shout at him to remind him to tuck it away as he returned it. A lot of interesting talent for a safety, but he is stuck behind two seniors. I found it interesting though, that Tressel cracked open the door, just a bit, at safety by mentioning how good Jermale Hines looks as the nickelback. Hines is a tremendous player, and if anyone sneaks into more safety time, he would be the guy. But Johnson is worth watching.

Is Orhian hurt? I'm pretty sure I saw him on the sidelines against navy.

Unspecified by Tressel. He said that for reasons either "doghouse reasons" or "injury" Orhian (along with others) were held out of the game.

So does anyone in the know, know if Orhian will be able to play this year? Is he just dinged or does he have a season ending kind of thing going on? We heard good things about him in the summer and with our issues at safety, I'm wondering if Orhian will be able to help us this year at some point?

I'm extremely excited for this Saturday. I understand its only IU, but I've been looking forward to seeing OJ play every since we've brought him in.

I'll definitely be watching #19 this weekend.

Should this also be placed in the Nickname thread?

I can't imagine that anyone would want THAT nickname.

Nothing like playing
Orhian Johnson will welcome fellow safety Kurt Coleman back to the active roster this week, but Johnson will miss the role he had during Coleman's one-game suspension. Johnson, used primarily on special teams this season, played extensively for the first time as a safety in the nickel defense.

"Of course, Kurt brings a different element to the game, because he is a great athlete, a great player," Johnson said. "But I think we responded very well. Everybody did their (part).

"We don't know how it would have been if Kurt had been in there, but coming away with a 'W' is pretty good."

Johnson, a redshirt freshman from St. Petersburg, Fla., said that as he took the field, "I wasn't feeling so much butterflies; it was more about excitement, about getting out there and playing football."

He even said he enjoyed the preparation.

"I paid attention all week, asked coach (Paul Haynes, the safeties coach) a lot of questions, I came in and watched extra film," Johnson said. "I wanted to be ready just in case I faced those situations."

Duane like how Johnson looked out there.

Indiana Game Review

Ohrian Johnson was around the ball alot tonight. I could not be happier about that. He sure looks the part. Very athletic looking kid. As the night wore on I noticed him more. That could be huge that he is finding his way around out there.
