Hey, we're just having fun with you :wink2: . We will have some youngsters out there on the field and you may very well have a good running back.

What kind of defense are you guys likely to put up against Ohio State?

Good question. We play a 4-3 attack defense. If we do what we did against Michigan last year Smith is going to have all day to throw, and we will drop 7 or guys deep every play. Hopefully we learn, and try something different.

Henne isn't the run threat that Smith is (obviously) If the plan is to drop 7, it's a bad plan (in my view). Looks like that's your take as well.

Here is our spring prospectus:

I agree it would be a bad plan to drop seven constantly, but we are going to have to find a way to cover Ginn. Our safties (Utch and Reiter) are more run guys and lack ideal speed. Our starting corners (Hansbros they are twins) really don't have alot of speed either. The only thing I can see us doing is maybe using Sophmore CB Bradley Pruitt and have him trying to cover Ginn (not 1 on 1 ovbiously). If I remember right we did a pretty good job against Breaston last year, and I know he isn't as good as Ginn but it is the best comparison i had.

16. RB Garrett Wolfe, Northern Illinois – Get ready for a groundswell of support for Wolfe, particularly if he perforates a revamped Ohio State D in the opener. He’s a 300-yard game waiting to happen, and with an early schedule that includes Ohio, Buffalo, Indiana State and Ball State, he could be over 1,000 yards before the end of September.

Pretty hard to vault yourself into the Heisman race when you run for 62 yards on 25 carries...

Nobody has ever held Wolfe to under 100 total yards when he plays for more then 1 half, this won't be any different.

Your 'total yards' includes receiving, since 21 carries for 52 rushing yards at Akron last year must have been in more than a half. But he did catch 6 balls for 112 yards in that game.

Yes normally "total" yards mean recieving and rushing.

And that is the only game in his career where he has played more then a half and was held under 100 yards rushing.
