COLUMBUS, Ohio – Middle linebacker Curtis Grant had an idea on the first day of full contact during Ohio State's preseason camp.
“I came through on a blitz and whoever had the ball, I just wanted to kill. That was kind of crazy on my part, but at the same time you need that crazy mentality to play middle linebacker,” Grant said Wednesday.
Bad idea.
Grant suffered a concussion on the play and wound up missing about two weeks of preseason practice. It was smart and safe to keep him out, obviously. But while he stood on the sidelines and players like walkon
Joe Burger worked in at middle linebacker, Grant felt like he fell behind. Against San Diego State on Saturday the Buckeyes will need him.
