"I was trying to take it to the house," said the 6-foot-5, 288-pound Heyward, the son of former NFL running back Craig "Ironhead" Heyward. "They caught me. That shows they didn't give up, and shows I'm not that fast."

That was OK with his coach.

"They were going to bring it down to a one-score game," Tressel said. "I was shocked how far he got. I kept thinking that someone was going to catch up to him and strip the ball. Oh, man I was petrified. That was a long run for a big guy."

Heyward's rumble an instant classic

With momentum slipping away from his football team, Jim Tressel finally admitted to looking back at the 2002 national championship game.

It was the third quarter of Saturday's colossal matchup in the 'Shoe, and Ohio State's coach saw his life -- or was that another Miami kick returner? -- flash before his eyes.

OSU defensive end Cameron Heyward had just picked off a pass at the 'Canes 5-yard line and was high-tailing it back the other way with the ball. OK, lumbering might be a more accurate description.

"I kept thinking that someone was going to catch up to him and strip the ball a la (Maurice) Clarett and Sean Taylor because (Heyward) was swinging it out there," Tressel said. "Oh, man, I was petrified."

Cameron Heyward helped Ohio Stae to a convincing win over Miami while raising his draft stock in the eyes of the NFL.

Cameron Heyward/DL/Ohio State: Heyward loomed large in the Buckeyes' domination of the Miami Hurricanes. He posted four tackles, one for a loss and intercepted a pass which he returned 80 yards to set-up a score. Heyward's ability to pursue the action to the sidelines was impressive and offers further proof the senior is a solid athlete with the ability to effectively line up in a variety of schemes.

Ohio State DE Cameron Heyward
Heyward will be remembered for his 80-yard interception return during a convincing 36-24 win over Miami, but his impact went far beyond that memorable play. Maximizing his impressive combination of size, quickness and power, Heyward was able to out-duel one of the nation's top offensive linemen in Hurricanes OT Orlando Franklin. In doing so, Heyward limited Miami's ability to run behind Franklin and also caused some unexpected headaches in their pass protection.

Scout's notebook: Defense
A look at prospects? performances this past weekend. Wes Bunting
September 15, 2010

A scout?s take on the good, the bad and the ugly from the second week of the college football season concerning the nation?s top defensive prospects.

Triple-threat match

Iowa DE Adrian Clayborn
vs.
Miami DE Allen Bailey
vs.
Ohio State DE Cameron Heyward

I got the chance this weekend to really take a close look at three of the nation?s top senior prospects in defensive linemen Adrian Clayborn, Allen Bailey and Cameron Heyward, and I really wanted to compare their strengths, weaknesses and overall differences in their game.

What makes these three prospects so unique is that in a time of undersized speed rushers, these three prospects are bigger, more physically put together linemen who have the ability to set the edge, overpower on contact and even kick inside to tackle on third down.

Heyward, on the other hand, is the most efficient interior player of the bunch. He does a nice job keeping his base down, can fire off the football and knife his way into the backfield with consistency. Now, he isn?t the most explosive pass rusher off the edge and isn?t real sudden when asked to disengage. But, he is the most powerful rusher of the bunch who maintains his balance well when working his way toward the quarterback and smoothly changes his body angles, which allows him to fight his way through contact and collapse his side of the pocket into the quarterback?s lap. Now, like Bailey, he isn?t nearly as instinctive getting off the ball on time when lined up on the outside compared to at DT. But, he plays the run extremely well as a base end, recognizing his run/pass keys quickly, generating good leverage on contact and using his long powerful arms to stack and shed on the edge.

Ohio State football: Buck stops with Heyward
Published: Monday, September 20, 2010
By John Kampf

COLUMBUS ? Cameron Heyward calls it being in the right place at the right time.

His teammates might just consider it the norm. Cameron being Cameron.

Midway through the third quarter of Ohio State's 43-7 shellacking of visiting Ohio on Saturday, Heyward burst through the right side of Ohio's offensive line and dropped Vince Davidson for a 4-yard loss and a safety.

Earlier in the game, the 6-foot-5, 288-pound senior defensive end scooped up a fumble forced by teammate Tyler Moeller and advanced it 5 yards.

Those were the only two plays Heyward ? one of six Ohio State captains ? was in on Saturday. The mileage he is getting out of his plays ? not just Saturday, but through all three games thus far ? is what is impressive.

Through three games, Heyward has only five tackles. But one went for a safety and another led to a punt by Miami in a Week 2 victory over the nationally ranked Hurricanes.

His lone fumble recovery of the season, Saturday's recovery, led to a 2-yard touchdown run by Dan Herron.

Let's not forget his 80-yard interception of Miami's Jacory Harris last week.

The pick not only prevented the Hurricanes from closing what was a 26-17 OSU lead, but also led to a touchdown run by Terrelle Pryor that opened up a 33-17 advantage.

Heyward's plays have been game-altering.

"He has a nose for the ball," sophomore defensive lineman John Simon said. "He's always getting there and making big plays."

What I love about Cam and the entire Defense this year is the fact is they are always around the ball. They fly to the ball on every play and are in the position to either make the stop or take the ball away.

We've had numerous turnovers that were caused by someone else and immediately recovered by the good guys.

Cam is a sure fire first rounder now. That return against Miami was just stupid. I couldn't stop laughing I was so excited for the big guy. Now he also has a fumble recovery, you gotta love those instincts.

Thanks for coming back Big Cam!
