I think Chekwa is a very good player and actually more talented than DWash, though Dwash's experience and physicality is going to be missed Chekwa's speed will show. I have serious concerns about Amos' speed, I watched him try to run down a kick returner who ran back a TD (forget what game) and he looked unimpressive athletically, he must have really nice cover skills to have shut down MManningham in HS. Im definitely more concerned about Amos than JamO who I think will come prepared to lay the wood on those LSU WRs, which should set a nice tone on D and make those LSU WRs hesitant to cross the middle.

Why is it that Bowden's gettin' a pass on TutorGate?

Drawing conclusions based upon one play is pretty reckless. Doing so just after said player just returned from a major knee injury is even more so.

I apologize I just meant if he was the CB Hart threw a nice block on and got into a mini scuffle with. Sorry guys.
Anyways, losing Washington is a huge blow but I think Tressel is good enough to work around that |

If we were going against Payton Manning I would be more worried, but we're not. LSU's QB's are good, but certainly not pinpoint with their throws. IMHO tackling is a more important component for our team in the NC game as opposed to coverage. The replacements can tackle, so we should be OK.

No worries... you've built up credibility with us. But that won't stop us from taking some shots at H20(fer)

It's being published by various media outlets now.
Columbus Dispatch:
Ohio State's starting corner suspended for title game
Quote:
|
Ohio State starting cornerback Donald Washington and reserve corner Eugene Clifford have been suspended for the national championship game because of a violation of team rules, a source close to the team confirmed tonight.
There were no details on the nature of the violation, except that it is not a legal issue.
The loss of Washington is significant. The sophomore from Indianapolis has started every game this season and played well, twice being named the team's defensive player of the week.
He has 34 tackles, a sack and an interception returned 70 yards for a touchdown against Kent State.
In November, while discussing who has stood out on defense, center Jim Cordle called Washington ?the most underrated corner in the nation.?
