Evidently, teens in Ohio are as clueless as teens in Texas.

Judge delays jail sentence for football
'I shouldn't be doing this, but I'm going to'

KENTON, Ohio (AP) -- A judge decided two high school athletes can complete the football season this fall before they serve 60-day jail sentences for a car crash caused by a decoy deer placed in a country road. Two teens were injured.

"I shouldn't be doing this, but I'm going to. I see positive things about participating in football," Judge Gary McKinley said Tuesday.

Dailyn Campbell, a 16-year-old quarterback for Kenton High, and 17-year-old teammate Jesse Howard will serve their time in a juvenile detention center. They were also ordered to write a 500-word essay titled "Why I Should Think Before I Act."

Last November, teens stole the decoy from a man's home, created a base to help it stand upright because it had only two legs, and then drove up and down the road, watching as drivers swerved to avoid it, prosecutor Brad Bailey said. He said Howard did not stop the prank.

Robert Roby Jr. crashed his car into a pole and broke his neck, collarbone, arm and leg. His passenger, Dustin Zachariah, suffered brain damage, Bailey said.

Campbell and Howard pleaded no contest to vehicular vandalism and other charges. Three other teenagers are awaiting trial in the fall.

"None of these guys will ever know what our sons have gone through," Roby's mother, Mary, wrote to the court. "If they get nothing for what they've done, they'll do something worse later. They need more than a slap on the wrist."

Both Campbell and Howard apologized at their sentencing.

"I think every day that I hurt someone, and that hurts me inside," said Howard, a defensive back who earned an honorable mention on the all-district team last fall.

Howard's father, C.J., said he punished his son by taking away his driver's license, keeping him at home and preventing him from playing sports.

I cannot wait for that Texas game. Getting some tickets for the OSU v. N. Illini so I can see what we look like before I head down to Texas to see us get a little bit of redemption. I expect the defense to be much better than everyone is giving them credit for right now. I have been saying it all off-season, I would much rather have a talented, inexperienced defense (w/ guys who have had playing time) than a QB who has never taken a college snap.

OSU-28
Texas-17

:osu: Go BUCKS!!

Someone asked how our Defense might take advantage of UT's Freshman OT. Here is a link, curteousy of lvbuckeye that explains zone blitz'. The links gives various diagrams and explanations of zone blitz packages, some of which would effect the OT position.

I hope you realize that the Texas coaches are throwing every type of blitz they can conceive of at the QBs, so they can recognize them, and the O-line faces them in the process. Zone blitz' are part of the standard UT defense package, so they are something the offense sees repeatedly.

I'm sure they are hitting the quarterback in practice as well so they can get used to picking themself up off the dirt only to be rushed again on the next play.

Now there's a point that has never been discussed here.
