Chris Wells (Akron Garfield) has gone from another top national player to a possible National Player of the Year. After two months, he's emerged as the best running back in the country, rushing for upwards of 2,000 yards in eight games (including many runs over 50 yards). Wells will be an impact player as a true freshman at Ohio State.

It would be great if he could make a Clarett-like impact without the psychotics...

Can you imagine Wells at a school like Glenville, Colerain, St. X, or even a leseer d-I team. He would of put up 3500 yds. I can't wait for him to get here next year. It will only help our running game. Him, Pittman, Wells should dominate the big 10.

I hope he is wearing a buckeyes shirt to the game tomm.

Well, Beanie you get to pound on the weasels next year! I can't wait...:)

According to Gary H, Chris did not go to the game out of respect for the tOSU staff. He did call Gary to say he and his entire family were celebrating the win.

The kid understands.
