DIENHART DROPS A #TAKE ON OSU'S PRACTICE. BTN was at Ohio State yesterday. (Here's its bus homage to legendary Big Ten program Rutgers.) BTN's Tom Dienhart took in practice. His article is a treasure trove of access that'd only be granted to BTN heavy-hitters, and it's worth your time in full.
Here are some of his quick hits:
[INDENT]Most impressive player: Joey Bosa. Pure energy. Think Jared Allen.
Top specimen: Braxton Miller. The guy is chiseled from granite.
Best drill:& Soon after the team hit the field, players circled and “bull in the ring” started. It was spirited, loud, raucous and hard-hitting.
Loudest coach: Kerry Coombs. He has leather lungs. Never has a small man been so loud.
Impressive newcomer: Curtis Samuel. The guy is pure, unadulterated speed at running back.
Top moment: Larry Johnson running his defensive linemen through the drills. He’s fun to watch. And the Buckeyes have a large collection of big men who can move. It’s scary.
[/INDENT] Again, the whole article is dynamite. It includes interviews with Braxton, Urban, and a lot more.
Curtis Samuel, however, is my pick to be the tongs to Ezekiel Elliot's hammer. Sure, Dontre Wilson's hype fizzled a bit last year (the DeSoto Jitterbug will ride out this year), but Urban Meyer singled Curtis Samuel out on numerous preseason occasions.
