true, but, all those kids are considered better talent then, what he played against all year. He was abusing all the defenders with power,speed and moves. I'm happy none of those kids are going to be buckeyes that Wells made them look like average players not all americans

My point is don't expect him to bowl over Big Ten defenders in the same manner. I think he'll be a special back by the time all is said and done, but I'm not going to expect him to run for 175 yards in his first career game (like some other highly-touted frosh RB did a few years back).

One huge benefit that Beanie has is a proven back ahead of him to develop under and learn from...something #13 didn't have. MoC had problems coming in, but his EGO was inflated by his early success and was ultimately his downfall. Working Beanie in slowly will let him develop not only physically, but mentally to playing on such a large stage. Having ESPiN the magazine touting you as a Heisman competitor and potential #1 overall pick 6 weeks into your college career will swell just about any 18 year old kids head.

Per the Ozone...

One carry, a cloud of dust, one laid out defender, and one touchdown.

Chris "Beanie" Wells got to carry the ball for the first time in his Buckeye career today in OSU's first practice in pads this spring. The results, according to several players and coaches, were impressive. Wells scored a touchdown the first time he was the given ball, running over a defender near the goal line to get to paydirt.

"He knows what to do when he gets his hands on the ball," said a smiling offensive coordinator Jim Bollman. "I'm glad he's here."

Nevermind. Just read the disclaimer at the bottom. I couldn't see it that well because I'm using a 57'' television for my moniter and small print doesn't show up well. I had to copy and paste it into a word document and increase the size of the text.
