All Trojans, All Buckeyes, All The Bleeping Time





No surprise that Beanie Wells will be back for Saturday's game with USC. How healthy Wells is remains to be seen, although if you look at the accompanying picture, then you have to question how "hurt" Beanie was in the first place.

Meanwhile, USC might be without starting wide receiver Vidal Hazelton, who's nursing a sprained ankle.

Of course, this being USC, they will pull one of their 87 5-star, Super Duper, Top 10, Four Clovers, Top 150 wideouts off the practice squad and not miss a beat.

CBS Sportsline's Dennis Dodd, an always angry man, says Ohio State will pull out a secret weapon Saturday night in LA in the form of freshman quarterback Terrelle Pryor.

An interesting sentiment, but it completely disregards Jim Tressel's obsession with his seniors. Todd Boeckman is a senior, by the way. Pryor will likely play more than he has, but I sincerely doubt he'll be starting by the second quarter and he'll be running with the ball.
People can claim Tressel is "saving" Pryor for this game but the facts remain: he's a freshman QB with throwing mechanic issues who has never thrown the ball further than eight yards down the field in two games.
Terrelle - meet the QB draw, the speed option and the read option.
And run like hell.

Kind of like this:
