He has more experience than almost every other player (other than Cordle, about equal)

Nitpicking, but I'm gonna have to disagree with you on that one. Cordle redshirted, played in 6 games as a R-Fr, started every game at C as R-So (despite breaking his snapping hand), played every game as R-Jr at 3 different positions (would have played every game at C, if not for the QB change), and will start every game this coming season. Boren played in 5 games as a true Fr with 1 start, and started every game as a So, before transferring. Cordle has more than twice the game experience as Boren. But I do consider Boren a valuable addition to the line, and a veteran; he's just not on Cordle's level, experience wise.

For the first time in years we seem to be "OK" at Defensive Tackle. Not great, but a solid OK.

So I am definitely not suggesting that we should move any prospective OL starter to DT.

So no one go and put words in my mouth.

OK?

So with that in mind; does Justin lack anything that you'd want to see at the DT position?

I'm just happy that our DTs got to go against him when he was on the scout team last year, and during spring ball this year. Iron sharpens iron...

Coincidence that they played at their best level in years? We assumed it was maturity/experience, but you may be onto something...

Regardless how he acted while playing for TSUN...a quote from my favorite movie keeps popping into my head since he left and the TSUN fan base said what they said...to paraphrase...

"They (TSUN fans) have awakened a sleeping giant, and filled him with a terrible resolve"

To answer for him, yes, that was Tora! Tora! Tora!, uttered by Admiral Yamamoto. Of course it was highly unlikely he actually said those words, but he often stated even to his superiors that Japan could not win a war vs. the US. Too bad Michigan fans aren't that smart when it comes to OSU.

OSU notebook: Boren impressing his quarterback
Friday, April 17, 2009
By Tim May
THE COLUMBUS DISPATCH

After nine practices this spring, quarterback Terrelle Pryor can sense one thing that new left guard Justin Boren will bring to the Ohio State offensive line.

"Fire, man. He's nasty," Pryor said.

The defensive front often has held sway in scrimmages, but Boren usually is mixing it up and playing to the whistle.

"We needed it," Pryor said of that attitude. "When you've got that nasty, like (departed left tackle Alex) Boone -- I loved Boone because he's just nasty. He'll try to fight after every play.

"I don't know what it is, but it's like (Boren) is someone who is going to fight for you all day, all game. I like that."

Boren sat out last season after transferring from Michigan. He started for the Wolverines as a sophomore in 2007 but left for Ohio State after coach Lloyd Carr stepped down at Michigan and was replaced by Rich Rodriguez. Boren, from Pickerington North, will be a junior in the fall.

Boren brings the nasty back to Buckeyes line
April 17, 2009
Posted by ESPN.com's Adam Rittenberg

COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Ohio State's Thaddeus Gibson has some friendly advice for his fellow Big Ten defensive linemen this fall.

Don't stand near the pile after a play, especially if Buckeyes left guard Justin Boren is in the general vicinity.

"He's gonna knock your ass down," Gibson said.

Not that Ohio State quarterback Terrelle Pryor minds one bit.

"He's nasty," Pryor said. "I like that. I don't know what it is. He's just going to fight for you all day and all game. I like that in Boren."

"Oh my God, he's a crazy dude," Gibson said. "It's good to have him over there because we're lining up and he's screaming and cussing and [stuff]. He's a good guy to have."
