RB Dallan Hayden (transfer to Colorado)

[Steve19]

I believe that Hayden is Ohio State's best back.

I believe that Hayden is Ohio State's best back.

Same. North and South runner, decisive, sees the holes, and plenty physical. I would prefer that Henderson and Hayden get the bulk of the carries moving forward.

I'm not sure why so much emphasis was placed on red-shirting him. You could do but then he could enter the portal and leave. You could pluck a RB from the portal as well. Red-shirting doesn't carry the same value as it did before the portal.

He's one of OSU's better backs. Use him.

I would prefer Henderson not, love the kid and love the home run threat he is... but with this OL and running scheme he's basically Aaron Judge ... its either a home run or a strike out putting us behind the chains....

Did he do something to the coaches, because I figured he would have a big role today. Unless they really want to redshirt him

I'm baffled. Why RS someone this day and age? If he can contribute to an area that could use help, play him. This isn't 2004 when kids frequently spent 4-5 years in a program.

Not trusted to pass block and questionable practice habits per others in the know.

Agreed! I would’ve had him in by the 2nd quarter, since Trayanum just wasn’t all that successful nor was Williams. They can finish games but left a lot to be desired at times.

YeH, I’ve heard that too. And I guess trust the coaches, but it’s hard to erase my memory of last season and last week…

Yeah because Chip’s pass blocking is top notch….

He needs to bust his ass in practice then. He could have been a huge help today

I don’t know if that’s true or not. I don’t think Day and his staff like to go to deep in the rotation unless, like last week, they’re forced too.

That's true I just am Glad we aren't forcing hurt guys into the game and rotating them every other game like last year

We had to last year! They were all injured except for Hayden
