More talk of Garrett Wolfe being able to start at Ohio State. Hmmm. We just can't seem to put these misguided thoughts to bed. G-force, since you insist on saying pretty much the same things over and over and over and over and over and over and over again, I'll just have to do the same thing. The following is a repeat of a post I submitted back on page 46 of this thread. If you could be so kind as to try to pay attention this time your masters here in Ohio would greatly appreciate it.

No he wouldn't. He would be your starter, and he will prove it in September.

Never! Garrett Wolfe is way too small for a top Big Ten team to burn one of their precious 85 scholarship on. If you are only 5-7 175 lbs, don't hold your breath for a Buckeye offer.
Consider this. Tyrell Sutton, a good running back, an Ohio kid, probably a pretty good student since he was able to get into Northwestern, and winner of Ohio's Mr. Football award for 2004. All this and he didn't get an offer to play for Ohio State. Why do you suppose he didn't? I can only speculate why he didn't. Umm, let's see, is it because he was thought to be too small to carry the ball against the likes of scUM in late November in the biggest rivalry game in sports with the entire nation watching and with the Big Ten title and a possible National Championship on the line? Hey, maybe I'm on to something here.
Now, according to what he's listed at, Garrett Wolfe is a couple inches
shorter and is about 15 lbs
lighter than Tyrell Sutton. G-force, your perspective is all out of whack! Buckeye fans know football. Please don't insult our intelligence by coming on here making delusional claim after delusional claim about a running back that just isn't big enough to play here.
Garrett Wolfe, more power to him. He's the underdog because he just doesn't have the physical stature that most major college football powers or, for that matter, NFL teams are looking for. He's possibly NIU's best player ever. That's great! He will likely be drafted into the NFL next year if he can stay healthy. First round? Nope. I doubt that any NFL team sees Garrett Wolfe as an every down back for Sunday play. Too much money to invest in a back that small! Second round? Do they draft kick returners that high? Third round? Now we're in the ballpark. Maybe. Second day pick? I can hear it now. Good value on the second day they'll all say.
Please refrain from putting forth any notions of Garrett Wolfe being the best running back on the field this September. I've said before in this thread and I'll say it again. There is not one, I repeat, not one facet or positional matchup in this game where NIU has an advantage. Not one. Not even running back! I wouldn't trade Pittman for Wolfe on any day especially not September 2nd.
Pipe dreams can be fun but there is a real world out there to discover. A loss in the MAC championship game and now you're a bunch of world beaters and Garrett Wolfe is a Heisman contender. Fire up another one dreamer."
