FB/LB Zach Boren (Official Thread)

[NightmaresDad]

I think he meant the other way around, Zach to carry behind Justin.

No kidding?

I don't think Justin will be toting the rock behind his younger brother Zach. Maybe short yardage?

Wouldn't that be insult added to injury? I'd pay big dollars to see both Boren boys block for eachother's touchdowns against tsun. LOL!

That would be epic...

Wouldn't be lovely if that TD was the TD that put the exclamation point on the Buckeye victory.

Zach Boren scores to put Ohio State up 49-7?

I think he knew...

All of this assumes there are actually plays in the playbook where the QB hands the ball to the FB. I think Brandon Joe took that playbook with him when he graduated.

More like Brandon Joe took all of the fullback talent with him when he graduated. It's nice that we have actual athletes at fullback again instead of converted tight ends.

How wild would it be to have both Borens in the same backfield.. at the scUM 3 yard line

We'd need Keith Jackson to call the game:

"When was the last time a school had one fullback named Justin Boren, and the other named Zach Boren?"

 

[Dryden]

We'd need Keith Jackson to call the game:

I'll take Keith over Mike Patrick

So what is up with that Brittney Spears?

 

[BuckeyeNation27]

We'd need Keith Jackson to call the game:

NEVER!

"You had to know this time was going to be a little different because this is the first time both schools have had lady presidents."

We could also get a new gem, like, "Handoff to Darn Herron..."

OSU notebook: Younger brothers in fullback mix
Wednesday, August 26, 2009

THE COLUMBUS DISPATCH

Jim Tressel recently was asked to name a player who has risen in the first two weeks of preseason camp from oblivion to possibly earning playing time. The only thing familiar about the Ohio State coach's answer was the last name.

"It's not in an extremely exciting role, but I thought Zach Boren really showed us -- he went from not having played at all and being listed on the depth chart as a linebacker, to showing in that scrimmage (Saturday) he can be a real good contributor at fullback," Tressel said. "And I wouldn't have known that this summer."

Boren is a freshman, and the younger brother of Michigan transfer Justin Boren, the left guard on the No. 1 offensive line. Zach Boren, from Pickerington Central, enrolled in time for spring drills, but he spent the time recovering from a knee injury.

The switch to fullback was made before preseason camp. Also vying for time is freshman Adam Homan, younger brother of junior linebacker Ross Homan. Adam Homan was praised by Tressel during spring drills when he showed tenacity for lead blocking.

The "younger brothers" are competing with James Georgiades for the No. 1 spot. Their rise was enough to enable the coach to upgrade fullback Jermil Martin into the power back position this month.

Zach with his first Buckeye TD! About four years ago he was been the last person on Earth I would've imagined ever scoring a TD for us...
