Carlos, you consistently gave great effort and have been a joy to watch in the scarlet and gray. You've grown as a player and as a person. Best of luck in the NFL and in your pursuits after the NFL. You're truly a great Buckeye. Continue to make us proud!!

Hope to see a lot of this (muscle flexing) in NFL end zones next season.

600x350


Good luck El Guapo.

from http://www.elevenwarriors.com/users/bdegroff:
Wouldn't it be fun to ponder what Hyde would have done with another 3 games! Due to an unfortunate event before the season started, Meyer's hand was forced. Even though Hyde was cleared, if Meyer doesn't suspend him it looks horrible. 1500 yards later and 15 Td's, add in the 3 games he didn't play, Hyde's pushing 2000 yards and 20 td's! To me, there is no question who the offensive player of the year is for OSU. What bothers me, and it seems everyone else, is why wasn't he getting more carries? He should have easily averaged 25 touches/game! He was 7 carries a game short. His average of 7 yards a carry, and that's 49 yards more a game. almost 5 first downs a game. That changes a lot for the offense and especially the defense. In my opinion Hyde carried OSU this year, Miller was along for the ride. IMHO, Miller will never be a better than average passer. His ability to understand when to make a certain throw is well below average. Until he learns how to be a passer, he'll just be a great athlete playing QB.

perspective:

if he gets those seven extra carries per game, he EASILY breaks the 2000 yard mark. in 11 games. IN ELEVEN GAMES.
add in ~600 yards for the three he missed (and the FAMU game) and we're pushing into Barry Sanders territory. possibly breaking the record.

and the coaches totally abandoned him when the game was on the line in the two biggest games of the year.

so long, El Guapo. you will be sorely missed.
you won't show up in the record books, and there sadly won't be a tree planted for you, but you are the best running back at Ohio State that i have ever seen.

To be honest, I don't know that he could have gotten many more carries than he did. With the exception of the games when he was taken out early due to already being up by a 4-5 dozen points, he was already being worked pretty hard. It seemed that he was out of breath if he ran 5-6 plays in a row. He'd come out of the game and not get back in unless the Bucks were down to the goal line.
