"All week I was telling guys I felt like a caged animal," Wells said. "I wanted to be out there the past three games, especially that big one we played, but it couldn't happen."
That's the Spirit Beanie! You rock!

Ohio State football: As the toe turns
by Doug Lesmerises Monday September 29, 2008, 4:27 PM
Marvin Fong/ The Plain DealerIn 28 days we went from this ...
If this comes off like a rant, I apologize.
Now that he's back, and after 14 carries against Minnesota, I think it's reasonable to write in Beanie Wells for at least 20 against Wisconsin, let's make a last comment on the saga that surrounded his toe for almost a month.
Wells would have gladly clarified things earlier.
"I did want to (talk about it), but I guess it was something I wasn't allowed to do until I was able to get back on the field," Wells said after Saturday's win.
Ohio State's star tailback didn't speak with reporters from the day he went down with his foot injury on Aug. 30 until he returned to the lineup four weeks later. That wasn't his decision.
In that time, I'm guessing ESPN ran a crawl update on Wells' foot/toe at least, what, 864 times?
"It was like a soap opera. I was shocked, I was real shocked," Wells said. "It was just funny to see my name go across the screen so many times."
Wells' mother said she felt like he had the most famous foot in America. And we asked everyone about it. Jim Tressel was asked 18 questions about Wells in his first news conference after the injury and advised worried fans to think more about hurricanes.

Ohio State football: The Buckeyes' Heisman candidate
by Doug Lesmerises Tuesday September 30, 2008, 7:28 PM
APRecognize this pose? Beanie Wells isn't ready to give up on it yet.
He's third on his own team in rushing with 217 yards in two games and he's 680 yards behind Big Ten leader Javon Ringer of Michigan State.
But despite missing three games, Ohio State running back Beanie Wells, one of the preseason favorites for the Heisman Trophy, still considers himself a candidate.
"You never know what's going to happen," Wells said today. "There's a lot of great athletes out there, but I'd like to think the Heisman is not out of my reach. A lot of times people get to thinking the Heisman is all about numbers and a team's record, but when it comes around to it, it's about who's the best player in college football.
"Not who runs for the most years or the most touchdowns - who's the most dominant player that you can honestly say is the best player on the field at the end of the game."
Can that be a guy nursing a nagging injury to his right big toe and base of his right foot, who is wearing what he deems clunky shoes to protect the foot that he knows won't be 100 percent healthy all year?
"I honestly think so," Wells said.
Wells said he has a program to ice and exercise the foot, but he doesn't have to limit his walking during the day and said that getting out and strolling to class actually helps keep his toe from stiffening up.

It is so awesome to have some confidence on the offensive side of the ball with Pryor and Wells. If it is contagious, I can't wait to see what the offense can do!:osu:

Ohio State Insider: Wells revives bid for Heisman
by Doug Lesmerises Tuesday September 30, 2008, 10:54 PM
Marvin Fong/PDOSU running back Chris Wells.
COLUMBUS -- Ohio State running back Beanie Wells, one of the preseason Heisman favorites who admitted in the spring that he started thinking about winning the award in 10th grade, officially redeclared his candidacy on Tuesday. Playing one half of football in the season's first four games isn't usually a recipe for Heisman success, but after bouncing back from his Saturday return better than he expected, the Buckeyes' junior back doesn't want to be ignored during Heisman talk.
"You never know what's going to happen," Wells said Tuesday. "There's a lot of great athletes out there, but I'd like to think the Heisman is not out of my reach. A lot of times people get to thinking the Heisman is all about numbers and a team's record, but when it comes around to it, it's about who's the best player in college football.
"Not who runs for the most yards or the most touchdowns -- who's the most dominant player that you can honestly say is the best player on the field at the end of the game."
Asked if he thought he could be that player with an injury that affects the bottom of his right foot and his right big toe, an injury that won't fully heal all year and requires him to wear what he calls clunky shoes, Wells said, "I honestly think so."
