I think (as do many of us) that Moeller was our best defensive player last night. He was explosive. So excited for his potential back there.

I agree that he was the best defensive player and I firmly believe that the attitude he brings to the field is contagious. Our defense was flying around and absolutely smacking people all night. This can be a special defense and Tyler seems primed to play a huge part in that.

I have to say I was annoyed that the BTN sideline reporter simply said that Tyler was "involved in an altercation" wherby he sustained the brain injury. Didn't mention that the assailant pleaded guilty to assault.

Buckeyes' Tyler Moeller relishes his return
September, 6, 2010
By Adam Rittenberg

COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Before it became certain he would return to football, Ohio State's Tyler Moeller heard the doubters and their questions.

At times, he might have asked the same ones of himself.

"There were all these questions, 'Are you OK?'" Moeller said. "I read all the [online] forums and they're like, 'Moeller's not going to be back. He shouldn't play again.'"

The concerns from Ohio State fans were justified. Moeller suffered a head injury in July 2009 after being attacked by a man at a Florida bar. Moeller was blindsided and hit his head on the ground, suffering bleeding on his brain that required emergency surgery on Aug. 8, 2009, right around the time Ohio State opened preseason camp.

After a strong spring at the star position, a safety-linebacker hybrid, Moeller missed the entire 2009 season, and many wondered if he'd ever suit up for the Buckeyes again. But he was back Thursday night, starting on defense and recording a team-high six tackles, two for loss, with a sack and a forced fumble in Ohio State's 45-7 win against Marshall.

"I feel like I have something to prove out there," Moeller said, "and I think I proved it tonight."

Moeller has to be one of my favorite players this season... But i sure am going to get sick of hearing his story 4 times each game.

Maybe i'll have to make a Tebow-Like drinking game out of it.

Grad is 100% right. This kid is a difference maker. Have two sacks, a forced fumble and a forced interception against Juice in '08, and it looks like he picked up right where he left off. Welcome back Moeller!

I expect Heacock to use TM against J. Harris in a similar way he did against Juice Williams. Disrupting Harris rhythm is going to be key in creating turnovers.

Looking forward to a solid victory this Saturday for the good guys!! Go get em Ty!!

Moeller Big Ten defensive player of the week
By TIM MAY

Tyler Moeller made a big splash in his dramatic return to college football last week. So much so that today he was name the Big Ten defensive player of the week.

The Ohio State senior defensive back led the Buckeyes with six tackles, including a fumble-causing sack and another tackle for loss, along with breaking up a pass in the Buckeyes? 45-7 season-opening win over Marshall on Thursday night. Playing what the OSU coaches call the star, or nickel back position, Moeller roamed the field.

That?s in contrast to this time a year ago when it wasn?t clear whether he?d ever play football again. He had suffered a closed-head injury when, while on vacation with his family in Florida, he was sucker-punched by an assailant at a restaurant bar, falling and striking his head on the floor.

But Moeller gained clearance to work out with the Buckeyes in the spring in all but full contact drills, and in mid-summer he was cleared for full contact. He also passed a precautionary CT scan soon after his first full contact in preseason and was given the ultimate green light to resume his playing career.

He did so with gusto against Marshall, even being awarded the Jack Tatum big hit of the week award by the OSU coaches
