RE: Wide outs and hamstrings: The trouble with hamstring injuries is that they are slow to recover. It looks like Joe Frazier punched the runner in the back of the leg, producing a huge purple bruise. Edema fills the area and takes forever to go away. Taping the leg can help prevent further injury, but it also cuts into the runner's speed. A mild pull will take two weeks to recover - a bad one up to 3 months. I'm sure the med team at OSU is top drawer and will have the equipment to speed up recovery, but it still takes time and rest.

I had a mild edema on the hamstring at the sitz bone. First thing the therapist tried was dry needling. It creates little lesions that tell the body to go heal that area. He said if it works, the hammy will be pretty much 100% in a couple days. He stuck 6 or 7 needles in and 4 of them hit a nerve, so it's was very unpleasant. The therapist needs to avoid the nerves. It didn't work, but yoga is what seemed to work... Anyways surely OSU has PT's certified in dry needling and maybe it will work for JJ. Edit: it is a technique that's used for many different kinds of injuries.

Other than that, I can get my hamstring ready for a pain-free run - speedwork included - with heat, deep percussion massage gun, dynamic stretches, then go on the run. It's back to square one after the run, but at least the run was pain free. (extrapolate to playing football game?) But then I've never had it as severe as it appears for JJ.

I am not saying these boys are hurt badly, obviously I hope it's all a precaution, but either way we just have to find a way to win in 2 weeks. That is literally all that matters.

So if its the Bo show, or the next Olave moment, I dont care. Just find a way.

Jeremiah's first career target was a bad drop. Tends to happen with green WRs

No doubt, I was not bashing the receivers- only making a comment to the post that I quoted which was about needing to get on the same page with Sayin. I would agree with you that nerves or inexperience is more the culprit than lack of practice time with the quarterback.

 

[cincibuck]

And I’m sure most of the backups have worked with Kienholz in practice more than they have with Sayin, so timing will be off

And, speaking of Kienholz, I thought he looked great. He's not going to ride the pine next year. Hope he ends up somewhere where he can't hurt the Bucks.

I hurt just reading this.

I think UCF is the perfect spot for him. He would do really well in a Scott Frost offense.

My wife a DPT and certified in dry needling. I was her test dummy and now beneficiary of the practice. Its great stuff. Cleared up my tennis elbow, relieved pressure on my Achilles due to tight calves and hammies. Hurts like a bitch sometimes but the results are great.

She free tomorrow? I'll bring a bundt cake.

Dry”needling?” @BB73 is interested!

In yesterday's game against UCLA, Lorenzo Styles Jr. became just the ninth Buckeye to score a touchdown of 100+ yards.

Buckeye Player	Date of Play	Opponent	Game Score	W / L / T	Play Type	Play Yards
Dean Sensanbaugher	10/09/1943	Great Lakes Naval	6 - 13	L	KR	103
Lorenzo Styles Jr.	11/15/2025	UCLA	48 - 10	W	KR	100
Ted Ginn, Jr.	10/29/2005	Minnesota	45 - 31	W	KR	100
Will Allen	09/06/2003	San Diego State	16 - 13	W	INT	100
Michael Wiley	09/13/1997	Bowling Green	44 - 13	W	KR	100
Marlon Kerner	10/23/1993	Purdue	45 - 24	W	INT	100
Carlos Snow	09/17/1988	Pittsburgh	10 - 42	L	KR	100
David Brown	10/18/1986	Purdue	39 - 11	W	INT	100
Bill Wentz	10/08/1960	Illinois	34 - 7	W	KR	100

How did Dean Sensanbaugher get a play of 103 yards? And don't say that he was 3 yards deep in the endzone, because I remember David Brown's interception was at least 6 yards deep, and he only gets credited with 100 yards.

Edit: My memory was wrong - he was about 4 yards deep.
Edit: In case you want to see the play, go to about 22:28 of this video:

Back in the day, they counted plays over 100 yards as their actual length, But the NcAA stopped that at some point.

From a post by @LordJeffBuck:

16. The longest recorded touchdown in Ohio State history was a 103-yard kick return by Dean Sensanbaugher in 1943. The NCAA no longer recognizes touchdowns of greater than 100 yards, reducing any such touchdown to 100 yards.

From a post by @LordJeffBuck:

Thanks. That's interesting. I wonder why they don't retroactively change those to 100, then...

I'm sure PSU fans have multiple theories about this.

Fun fact: I was born about 3 weeks before this game. My aunt, who is still a football fanatic to this very day, was watching me while my mom slept. She sat me in front of the TV to watch this game with her. The first Buckeye game these beautiful eyes ever saw.
