Want to give props to Rolle and his play on kickoff coverage today. He absolutely blew that guy up and then they threw a flag for offsides. I was worried that after sprinting 60yards the kick team would be a little winded and Akron might get a decent return seeing as they ran about 4 yards on the previous kick. But the Rolle came through with the tackle again this time blowing right by a blocker and wrapping the returner up again. I absolutely love this guy, and though he’s undersized, he'll be a perfect college linebacker with how ever team under the suns is switching to the spread. Speed, Instincts, Aggressiveness. This kid has everything that it really takes to make a great football player!

Again he had a huge tackle on kickoff where he just blew a kid up. Then on one of Smalls punt returns in the second qt he blind sided a NU player and when the trainers were looking at him, it looked like the NU player was bleeding from the mouth. I absolutly love
Brian Rolle. Hope that kid is O.K. though.

Thus far Rolle seems like he may have a very bright future. I'm eager to see how he progresses in the following years. I share the concern for that NW player that Rolle lit up on the punt return, but man, that was a great hit.

The biggest hit of the game came from freshman linebacker Brian Rolle who annihilated a would-be tackler with a block on a punt return that brought the Northwestern trainers running to the field to check on their player after the whistle blew. He got up...eventually. He'll probably figure out where he is sometime around midweek. The play fired up the OSU bench who let Rolle know just how much they appreciated his mayhem.

"Everybody was going crazy," Rolle said of his greeting when he returned to the OSU bench.

"I couldn't really say anything because I was getting slapped up side of the head (by his teammates). It was overwhelming. It was fun for me. That's probably the biggest hit I've ever had in my life. I felt real good about it," said Rolle.

Freshman Brian Rolle an impact player for the Ohio State Buckeyes

Columbus -- The first time Brian Rolle made his presence known against Northwestern on Saturday came in the second quarter. Wildcats kick returner Sherrick McManis was innocently churning down the field trying to gather a few extra steps when Rolle corralled him and -- thwack -- knocked McManis flat on his back. Hard.

The second time Rolle, a freshman linebacker, made an impact, he again was on special teams. He was paving the way for teammate Ray Small's punt return at the start of the second quarter when -- thud -- he sent Northwestern's David Oredugba to the ground with a block so hard that the NU cornerback writhed on the turf for several minutes before he was helped off.

"Probably the biggest hit of my life," Rolle said afterward.
