Love that Stover is turning some heads at TE. Scott seems to be making a push at TE.
On Defense word is that Curry is also standing out and causing havoc and creating turnovers.
Coach Wilson raved about Hall standing out as well. He laughs when he sees Hall on the third team.
Chip Traynaum (sp) looks like he is shinning at LB and could be a star in the making.

Sounds like the D has found its groove and is significantly better than last year.

“Not what it needs to be. Not what it needs to be, based on what I saw Saturday,” Wilson said at a post-practice press conference. “Because it needed to be better Saturday. And in structure, what we're calling, scheming and that pad level and execution and demeanor and attitude. That was a couple glitches Saturday that needed to be (cleaned up).”

Wilson said the offense was “a little sloppy” in general as drives went on and that the Ohio State defense created multiple turnovers on the day. But Wilson emphasized that the primary shortcoming of the unit was its ability to run the ball, as he declared that the Buckeyes “need to run it a little better as we go.”

“Play call can be better execution (can be better), but also the demeanor of what we're trying to get accomplished here. Four-minute offense. To win those championships, we're gonna have to close out some games, and everybody knows we're running it,” Wilson said. “I know Coach (Ryan Day) will have a safe pass or something to keep them honest, but we got to run it and get the first down. And that's what those great offenses that we talked about earlier are gonna do or not do. That's when we'll see if we're a good offense or not.”



“IF WE CAN'T PLAY OFFENSIVE RUNNING FOOTBALL, WE'RE NOT GONNA BE THE CHAMPIONSHIP TEAM THAT WE'RE YEARNING TO BE AND EXPECTED TO BE.”– KEVIN WILSON

“The thing I took from it was that defense looks really good,” Scott said. “That whole defense looks really good. I'm excited for them.”

“I think that our defense is presenting a lot of good challenges,” Rossi said. “They're very multiple, they disguise things well, and I think that it's really good work for us. I think that we're used to kind of getting after them, and it's good for us to have that competition up, for sure.”

“Defense created several good turnovers, which is good for them, not good for us,” Wilson said. “Gotta run it better, wasn't our best running day, need to run it a little bit better as we go.”

“They're deep, and they just keep coming at you in waves, and they just keep coming over the walls,” Wilson said when asked specifically about the defensive line. “You just feel the defensive presence. I think (linebackers) Tommy (Eichenberg) and Steele (Chambers) and Cody (Simon) are starting to play with a lot of confidence. I think the secondary guys are starting to understand those fits and they’re so much more quicker in the hole, and I just think you feel a very early confident defensive bunch. Long way to go, I'm sure Coach (Knowles) would tell you that. But man, out there, it's a dadgum fistfight.”

Nobody had higher praise for Knowles and Ohio State’s defense on Monday than projected starting tight end Cade Stover, who described Knowles as “the smartest mind on the defensive side of the ball I've ever seen in my life” and said going against Knowles’ defense gives him “all the confidence when we go to game day.”

SHIFTING TIDES. In mid-July, several Buckeye football players collectively shared their grievances toward CampusParc, the third-party service that oversees parking on Ohio State’s campus.







If Ohio State chooses to take advantage of the rule change, Henderson, Hall and the rest of the Buckeyes may not have to worry about CampusParc tickets anymore.

Craig Griffey used to park his tricked out 190 Benz (yes, gold package) between the towers every night and sent home tickets to dad. It was kind of a joke that it was his parking pass.

I taught and coached Craig. Junior was bigger, but IMO Craig was the better athlete. His sophomore year we were at an indoor meet and he came up to me, "Coach, do you think I can high jump?" I pointed out two kids from other schools I knew were good jumpers and told him to watch them and then do what they did. The bar was at 5' 10" when he entered. His first jump he overreached on his last step, slipped and piled into the bar, upsetting one of the standards. He got up laughing and I thought he'd give up on the idea. He got back in line. Second try he cleared the bar easily then went on to clear 6 and 6'2" and won the meet with a jump of 6'4" and with no more misses. Since he was my best hurdler, he ran the 110s and 300s, plus the 100 dash and anchored the 4 by 100. I had two jumpers who could go 6'4" and finished 1,2 in the league meet, I never had an opportunity to jump him again.

Interesting. I can’t say I’m surprised. He always struck me as an incredibly fluid individual. Nice guy too. Actually, Junior and dad were, the very few times I met them, exceptionally gracious individuals. No reason for them not have been, but still… it would have been just as easy to not have been cool with people. Good genes and seemingly a very strong upbringing in that household.
