Re: Head coach Urban Meyer followed that up with the following assessment at Big Ten Media Days last month. "He's going to play," Meyer said bluntly.

Gerd warns us about the hype on this kid - and participates in it - with his usual splendid sarcasm.

Re: (in above O-Zone article) That’s why I ask other people about Dobbins. Because I don’t want coachspeak, I want the truth.

Just sayin': FWIW, I do think Urban Meyer's comments are lot more truthful (i.e. not the typical "coachspeak") than we've heard from others in the past.

One player that Jerome Baker pointed out that was impressive during camp was none other JK. It was like a huge smile, a chuckle and a "Man... JK"

You guys are all stupid. Dobbins isn't playing well at all. Every time somebody says something good about him, they say they're just kidding.

I suggest going back to the first entry in this thread and watching his highlights again if you wonder about the hype. The first 3 runs are some of the best you can hope to see out of a high school back.

Just watched that clip. That third run, wow!

One thing I noticed is that he slows down before reaching the endzone. Hope the coaches correct that.

3rd run was a thing of beauty. I had to rewind it a few times

Getting an 'or' with the starter on the official depth chart in your first game in the program is pretty impressive

In a word... yup.

Thought the exact same thing.

In a word... yup.

Noticed that as well. Coupled with Urban mentioning him in the same breath as someone else recently that showed up to camp as a grown man or something to that effect.

Not quite ready to use the cliché "A Star Is Born", but all signs lead to it being appropriate.
