First Catch

Saw Scoot's father last night at the TCC v St. John's HS football game. He didn't make the trip to Seattle apparently. I hadn't seen him since just before the YSU game. I congratulated him on his son making his first catch/TD and he gratiously accepted (on his son's behalf). He went on about the first two games, his 'blocking', and this week's outlook with Washington. He said he had a hunch that Dane will catch one for a score this week because the DBs will be double teaming Robo- we'll have to wait a few hours yet for that to play out. I hope he's right.

He also said the Buckeyes were having a great time sightseeing and went to the Fisherman's Market. As some of the Buckeyes walked in, one of the fish sales people at the market wanted to know who the wide receivers were. He then picked up a salmon and passed it to one of the WRs. According to the story (being relayed by Dane to his Dad to me) he caught it! No news on who he was or whether he ran with it afterwards, but I'd say it's a good omen making the "first catch" of the weekend!! :biggrin: True story, and where did I read that earlier? Hmmm?

Go Young Bucks :osu:

I missed the block during the game and I haven't replayed the game yet, do you remember what quarter and what run that was on? Dane (by his own admission) needs to work on his blocking, and he missed one against Reggie Corner last week on the Saine screen pass. His dad told me that Dane thought his blocking needed improvement. It sounds like that improvement is being adddressed and will give him a rep for that one. He's a well rounded player, those refinements will make him even better.

At the 1:18 mark is Brandon Saine's 28 yard run. Dane makes a critical block on the outside and absolutely pancakes the DB. That deserves a Buckeye leaf.

EDIT- Since the embeded version's clock is a countdown, it'd be the 4:11 mark.

Scoot is banged up

I saw this on Scout. Does anyone know the nature of the injury?

While the Washington game marked the season debut of the ballyhooed Ray Small at wide receiver and punt returner, it also saw another member of the wideout corps go down. Tressel said freshman Dane Sanzenbacher, who saw action early in the game, suffered an undisclosed injury.

In typical coaching terms, Tressel said Sanzenbacher both "got banged" and "was whacked." His immediate prognosis is unknown, but he is listed as the primary backup to junior Brian Robiskie on the latest depth chart.

i hadn't heard that. he had a great pancake block on Zoom's 28 yard run, though... maybe that's when he got dinged? i don't recall seeing him after that, though we were in that funky new ace set a lot, as opposed to three wide.

That was in the third quarter, so it's possible but he looked OK after the run. He's listed ar #2 behind Robo this week, he may just need a few days to rest. NWestern would be a great game to try out the mutliple receiver sets. I really look forward to watching everyone play. Ray's back and Washington is listed as #3 WR.

2007 OSU Depth Chart

At Tressel's Tuesday press conference he said:

REPORTER: You guys have more power I, it seems like this year, spread was more predominant last year, does it seem that's the route you'll go this season?
COACH TRESSEL: Last year we were 25 (percent) three wides last season. Last game we were two backs, two wides. The next types used was two tights, two wides. That's probably a little different than any year we've had. We were probably 25% last year four wides and I don't know that we've been in it this year at all. So you do what your personnel dictates. I like having Ballard in the game some, so I like that two tighting, although I love being in three wides. The one guy that did get banged a little bit, someone asked about injuries, was Dane Sanzenbacher, I think he'll be fine, but he got wide.

Sounds like bumps and bruises.

Ok, in the youtube video highlights posted above, check the clock when Brandon Saine gets the ball and see how fast he covers 37 yards. After he gets north there appears to be about 6 seconds on the game clock, when he crosses the goal line there's 2. Damn he's fast.
