Cordle broke his foot and redshirted as a true frosh, then played backup to Datish as a RS frosh. Browning also RS'd. |

Tressel trotted out the complete 2nd team OL vs Texas early in the game, and scored. That OL had less talent than the 2nd team OL will when Hall enrolls. I can certainly see JT bringing back that approach to season the backups, but more importantly, lighten the grind of the season on the starters. If he did that in the enormous game vs Texas, you'd think he'd be willing to do so against some lesser teams as well. Last year's OL was marred by injuries, leaving the 2nd team full of walkons.

Oops, Good catch on Cordle and Browning.
I still want to allow JT and JB to make the case that early PT is neither impossible nor even unlikely, so I say they use Rehring and Boone as the "examples" of frosh that contributed early.
From the player profile page on Ohio State University official Athletics site:
Steve Rehring:

2004 (Freshman): Enrolled at the start of Winter Quarter in January and took part in winter conditioning and spring drills ... moved into the No. 2 spot at left tackle behind Robbie Sims once the coaches took off his redshirt ... made his college debut in week seven against Indiana ... played significant minutes the next two weeks against Penn State and Michigan State and started the latter for the injured Rob Sims ... his development allowed Sims to move inside to guard from time-to-time depending on the Buckeyes' needs ... third among the freshmen in playing time behind Ted Ginn Jr. and Antonio Pittman ... earned his first letter.

Alex Boone:

2005 (Freshman): Played in 11 of the Buckeyes' 12 games for a total of 126 minutes ... Texas is the only game he did not play in ... took over for Barton at Penn State and started the Michigan State, Indiana and Minnesota games the next three weeks ... logged 30 minutes in a hard-fought win at Minnesota.

Browning also received a lot of PT in his freshman year.
I agree that it will be difficult to break into the starting line up with the "stocked OL" next year, but based on past history I believe JT and JB can build the case that deserving freshman should not think it impossible or even unlikely to see significant minutes or opportunities to contribute early.

Pretty sure both Cordle and Browning redshirted their freshmen years...
Cordle had an ankle injury that kept him out, or he probably would have played as a true freshman, but not start.
EDIT: Dang, too slow! I need SEC speed.

Thats good stuff !
The last OT to start the season as a true freshman at tOSU was Pace...Right?
From what I get Newsome is excited about OSU , Fellows (Halls close friend) decommitted from Illinois and committed to tOSU and Hall has yet to recieve an offer from USC. So I still LOVE our chances but think Ginn's policy is making this hard on us (me) mentally.
Thanks to all of you guys. I love the site and the knowlegde / perspective all of you guys bring is awesome.

Would Hall be more comparable to say..Alex Boone coming out of high school? Just trying to get some feel for his overall talent.
