Ohio State's Beanie Wells following in footsteps of Michigan's Mike Hart

You become more aware of what you can put up with, and you become a warrior. Beanie's young, and he wants very badly to become a warrior, but you can't do that until time says that you have. I think of a guy in our league, Mike Hart. He's been banged up over the course of time. One year he had a hip or thigh bruise and kept coming back. And this year he had something. I have to give him credit, he lugged it 44 times the other day. He's a senior, he's been doing it for four years, I guess. Archie Griffin is a warrior. The stories go he didn't feel good until Thursday each week. That's the life of a running back, but until you experience it . . . and Beanie is in the midst of experiencing it."
