It's my hope that Berry becomes the new Zoom, and from the talk in practice its appearing that Berry is showing off his speed quite well so far, so it'll be interesting to see if he pushes Saine for time later in the year.

I would be surprised if Berry could beat Saine in a race, although I do think Berry is quicker (more agile) than Saine.

I definitely think Berry will see the field this year.

Agreed 100%.

Put them on the track, Saine will win. But put them on the field and hand them the ball, I like Berry. It's possible though I always just had too high of expectations for Saine and I'm trying this new low expectations idea :biggrin:

It's also possible that we haven't seen a healthy Saine since his true freshman year and that he might surprise alot of the doubters. I'm excited about Jaamal, but I'm still excited about Saine. Don't count either out.

Same thoughts but, its funny people forgot his freshman year when he ran with power and had some nice BEANIE STIFF-ARMS. I really like the RB depth just hope, the line helps them

Berry Turning Heads in Practice
By Brandon Castel

Some men see things as they are and ask why, others dream things that never were and ask why not.

For running back Jaamal Berry, dreams have become a part of his daily life at Ohio State.

A freshman out of Miami Palmetto High School, Berry knows rookies aren't supposed to have high expectations for themselves in year one. Not at a school like Ohio State. Freshmen are supposed to be content running with the scout team and just being a part of the college football experience, but not Berry.

He is familiar with the current depth chart at running back, which according to offensive coordinator Jim Bollman has him running with the third group behind Dan Herron and Brandon Saine, but lately Berry has been asking himself why not.

"I feel like I can make an impact at the college level as a freshman," Berry said with confidence.

Losing Beanie Wells to the NFL and Carlos Hyde to academics, the Buckeyes could certainly use another impact player in the backfield this season, but Berry knew coming in that he wasn't going to be handed opportunities just based on his high profile as a blue-chip recruit coming out of high school.

"I feel like the game speed is so much faster in college," Berry said. "High school has people who don't really know what they're doing, but in college everyone is fast and knows what they are doing and takes good angles, so it's really hard to beat them."

I certainly think so. Tressel held out the two freshman running backs last game; I wouldn't be surprised for us to see one of them tomorrow night. My money is on Berry, and if he's in the game look for the shovel pass and delayed screen play. They were running those plays with Berry a ton in the practices that I saw.
