should be interesting indeed hawg. tress sometimes favors his seniors, but this is a pretty big game to overlook who has performed better IMO.

While Ryan Hamby on Sunday happily discussed his return to health, Brandon Schnittker sat next to him, listening pensively.
Hamby, Ohio State’s starting tight end, has recovered from a torn medial collateral ligament. He practiced Friday and Saturday and is cleared to play in the Fiesta Bowl.
"I’m back, that’s pretty much plain and simple," said Hamby, who suffered the injury in a late-October practice. "(Saturday), we were hitting a little bit and I did every single drill fine, so I’m good to go."
The news on Schnittker isn’t so clear-cut. The senior tailback underwent back surgery Nov. 3 to correct a bulging disk. He’s four weeks into a six- to eightweek recovery.
He’s waiting to hear what the surgeon says when he goes back for a Dec. 14 appointment.
"We’ll find out if they think I’m ready to take a hit and absorb the beating," he said.
Schnittker said he had experienced lower-back tightness for much of October but played through it until after the Indiana game Oct. 22. The next day, he said he felt weakness and tingling in his legs.
The nature of the injury and effect on his future has left him with mixed feelings about rushing to return.
"It’s weighing really heavy," he said. "I’ve talked to my family about it, and we’re just going to wait and see what the surgeon says. If he seems to think that I’m 100 percent and there’s no more risk of screwing the disk back up or any further damage, then we’ll go for it from there."

Sorry for the confusion

No more than I wanted Lydell Ross on the field (ever). If the underclassmen are better (and god knows they are in this case), then by all means play them.

Good for Hambone. I think it is great he will be able to go out playing in his last game as a buckeye.
