ON CB DORAN GRANT?

Much like they did with Miller, the South squad seemed determined to stay away from Doran Grant in this game. It appears like Krause approached this all-star game the way he would any normal game, which meant only a few passes in the direction of Grant, a four-star corner out of Akron St. Vincent-St. Mary.

Grant did have a 15-yard facemask penalty on the first drive of the game after he dragged running back Jayshon Jackson to the ground on a screen play. Grant had a couple of nice legal takedowns in the game, but with as much as they were running out of the wildcat, the South team didn?t throw the ball a lot Friday. They did target tight end Nick Vannett a few times down the field, but Grant was there to make a play on a couple of them.

According to the box score, Grant also carried the ball once for three yards.

Analysis: It was hard to get much of a read on Grant tonight, but it says something that Krause did not want to throw the ball in his direction. He is said to have great ball skills and hands, which is probably why they didn?t want to give him an opportunities to swing the game. The one thing he showed tonight was that he?s not afraid to get involved as a tackler. He doesn?t have the best form yet, but he will bring the ball carrier down by whatever means necessary.

In the 110-meter hurdles, the Fighting Irish's Doran Grant, who will attend the Ohio State University on a football scholarship in the fall, ensured himself a spot in the regional final by taking first place, but right near him will be the Griffins' Romello Cook.

Despite running the fastest time, Grant wasn't satisfied with his performance in the event.

''I have to get faster; I know that,'' he said.

"When I first heard, I said 'Wow' because it was out of the blue but I'm a Buckeye," said Grant, one of the nation's top cornerbacks. "If coach Tressel was going to resign I thought it would happen after [the upcoming] football season.

"I'm looking forward to playing down there and I honestly feel that's where I'm supposed to be."

Grant, St. V-M senior defensive back, on the resignation:

''I knew something was going to happen, but I thought it would be after the season. I'm not leaving. It's a great place to be. It's a great big family there and the support system is crazy and I just like it there.''

"I was stunned but I guess it's something that had to be done," said cornerback Doran Grant. "He was just trying to protect his players. I always had a very good relationship with Coach Tressel. He wasn't like the guy that people portrayed him. It's like people outside that school had it out for Ohio State because they are always winning. It's still Ohio State and we will overcome this."
