Blue Jackets Season Preview
October 1, 2009While We’re Waiting… Mo and Shaq, Browns Lack Talent, and More on D.A.
October 2, 2009As if being the most effective runner thus far into the 2009 season was not enough of a resume builder, junior running back Brandon Saine appears locked in the starting spot for this Saturday’s game against the Hoosiers of Indiana. Typical starter Daniel “Boom” Herron – who’s name apparently stemmed from Daniel Boone – is battling an ankle injury leaving Saine with the bulk of the responsibilities on the ground.
Through his 32 carries, Saine is averaging just under six yards a pop. He has also hauled in seven passes, averaging 12 yards per reception. Saine is more of the speed back that compliments that of Herron’s between-the-tackle game, but has appeared to have more success when Ohio State spreads out the offense as they did against the Illinois Fighting Illini.
Freshman back, and close friend of Terrelle Pryor, Jordan Hall will likely receive some carries as well. Recall his play against Toledo two weeks ago left a lot of Buckeyes fans looking for a little bit more in terms of opportunity for the Jeannette native. Also note that the Buckeyes will be without defensive back Kurt Coleman as well, so the Scarlet and Gray will be looking for a few players to step up in their absence.

It’s quiet. . . . TOO quiet.
Zoom a zoom zoom zoom minus the boom boom – just shake your rump!
Is that all you wanna do?
Unfortunately it’s all I can allude to in this family friendly zone.
