Will the new layout of BP have color changing thread titles? Might make it easier to know when a thread is back on topic.

If you want easy to use, you need to visit the ESPN message boards. They're so much more user-friendly.

Too late, they've been boxed.

Oh okay, thanks for the info. Is that the best place to find info on Rod Smith?

Oh, sure. It's easy to find there, just like everything else. You won't believe how easy.

At least, that's what everyone says.

Junior running back Rod Smith served a one-game suspension for violating team rules last winter and is expected back “if he has a good week of practice and does it all right,” Meyer said.

He will be joining a crowded backfield. Led by senior Jordan Hall’s career-high 159 yards rushing, four running backs played against Buffalo, including redshirt freshman Warren Ball and freshmen Dontre Wilson and Ezekiel Elliott.

“I hope (Smith) does earn the right to carry the ball, because that will free Jordan Hall to maybe help us in some other areas, as well,” Meyer said, referring to plans to use Hall in the hybrid back spot.

Hang on to the ball and do work, Mr. Smith. I keep waiting for that breakout performance from this kid. I believe he is due.

Looking forward to Rod toting the ball tomorrow.

Buckeyes exchange digits: Jordan Hall switches to Terrelle Pryor's old number

The switch allows Smith and Christian Bryant -- who also sports the No. 2 -- to play special teams at the same time. No two players can share the field while wearing the same number.

Thanks for finding and sharing. It was causing me some confusion at the start of the game. I thought it was possibly an Urban ploy ala 2 point conversions.

To me, it's funny how much bigger Rod seems compared to the other backs. He does seem very effective, though, and I hope he keeps working hard and being a difference maker on the field. Overall, our depth at RB is proving to be quite good.

Thought he really really deserved some more work last night. Say...half of Braxton's carries

Keep your head up, Rod.

After hearing UFM give rave reviews about RS in the preseason, I'm surprised he hasn't gotten more work this season. Is EzE ahead of him on the depth chart now?

Definitely seems that way... We'll know more next season.

The coaches probably made the right decision to not recruit a RB this year. I root for Rod every game and i was hoping to see him a lot more, but i will trust the coaches. He has made few great blocks and made whatever he could with the plays he has gotten so far. I trust his time will come and he will do great.

 

[ShowMeBuck]

Perhaps I'm the only one who thinks this way but personally I'd love to see Rod earn the starting slot next year. The coaches will give it to the most deserving back and he would have his work cut out for him considering the competition. By winning, it would send a great message. Bide your time and work your tail off. I'd love it if that happened.
