The question was who would I want for a game-winning drive, and Hart was (and still is) the more proven feature back. It wasn't who I wanted representing my team, who I wanted for years to come (as he continues to improve), or who I'd would actually choose as a coach on principle alone. If I were a bandwagon fan, I would crown Beanie as a future heisman winner before he arrived on campus. If you look at the rest of my posts today (and for months), you'll see my distinct dislike for Mr. Hart.
I was thrilled to see Beanie take the next step towards becoming a legend. That may have been his best game, and best display of speed and power. However, it was his resolve to play through adversity (sickness, injury) that was truly impressive. Not just the long runs, but the carry up the gut where he nearly broke free after encountering and/or carrying half the defense. You could sense his silent determination, demanding the football to carry his team out of that challenge.
.:Brutus:. hit the nail on the head, what a refreshing attitude to possess such freakish talent and share and/or redirect the spotlight to your teammates.
I am glad OSU has Beanie as their feature back, and for all the reasons listed above, I would not trade him.
