RB Jordan Hall (Official Thread)

[TresselstillownsTSUN]

Hall will also never beat Ohio State....

I'm not sure about his stationary bike skillz, though.

....Good ole Bike Hart, he really was a complete fucking tool...

 

[k2onprimetime]

i think hall is quicker than hart is.

 

[ochre]

reminds me a bit of Carlos Snow.

 

[Holy Buckeye!]

I hope we see quite a bit more of him this Saturday earlier in the game.........He definitely earns some PT.

He runs like Michael Wiley and Hall's other spot would be corner. Wiley played at wr,corner and rb his freshman year then, stayed at rb. I hope he gets a chance when the game is close.

That is who I thought of as well Akron. I was hesitant to say that since Tim Spencer is on record of saying Wiley is the most talented RB he has ever coached and he has coached some GREAT ones.

I was at the Toledo game and Hall made me think he should be the starter, sooner than later. He hit the hole flying and made some sharp cuts Saine or Herron cannot copy.

I hope Tressel took notes and starts getting him in the game earlier to give him more attempts. I think he's the real deal.

Very impressive performance by Hall again today. Those who thought he was recruited simply because he was Terrelle's HS teamie are looking pretty silly right about now.

 

[jlb1705]

I agree. He showed an ability to find small creases between the tackles and get tough yards.

This kid already understands how to get the 4-6 yards that are almost always there but hidden. Nothing flashy, just a solid back. Glad to have him.

 

[craigblitz]

Was really hoping Hall was going to get the last two carries and an opportunity to his first touchdown. I have a feeling he will have a couple before it is all said and done.

 

[osucollegebuck]

In the Toledo game I thought he was just a fast little back who found the holes but today I was surprised how strong he was and actually moved the pile.

Hall quieting doubters
By Paul Schofield, TRIBUNE-REVIEW
Friday, October 2, 2009

When Jordan Hall decided last year to follow Terrelle Pryor to Ohio State, there were some coaches who questioned his decision and said he'd never play.

Former Jeannette coach and current Latrobe Ray Reitz was not one of those skeptics -- Reitz knew Hall would have a chance to play because of how hard he worked.

"Jordan has football savvy," Reitz said. "He's a smart player and just because he played at a small school, people doubted his ability. Jordan is a tough kid."

Hall, a former Jeannette star, is currently Ohio State's third-team tailback behind Daniel Herron and Brandon Saine. In the past two games, against Illinois and Toledo, Hall has rushed for 66 yards.

He is expected to see more carries as the season continues.

"A lot of people thought he was going just because Terrelle was there," Jeannette coach Roy Hall said. "But coach (Jim) Tressel noticed Jordan on the basketball floor and his athletic ability.

"Jordan is the second-strongest running back on the team and coach (Joe) Daniels said he was the surprise of summer football camp. He loves Ohio State."

Hall has surpassed highly recruited running back Jaamal Berry, who is out of Miami, Fla., and Adam Homan of Coldwater, Ohio on the depth chart.

Hall said he just wants to contribute some way this season.

"I'm going to work hard and try to get playing, even if it is on special teams," Hall said. "The speed of the game is the biggest thing I have to adjust to. My goal is to contribute any way I as can."
