Finally, the time has come around that football gets to be talked about again. I mean, did we ever really stop talking about it? The date and time is set for the Spring football game, and it will be hosted by the Big Ten Network and all their
Ro-Tel commercials. The game will be Saturday, April 24th, at 1 p.m.. Of course, if your a Buckeye lacrosse fan, then they are covering the game that day on the Big Ten Network as well, right before the Ohio State spring game. All of spring, we won't be the only ones keeping you up to date with what's going on with the Buckeyes and our neighbors in the Big Ten, as the Big Ten Network is hosting everything spring football that they can possibly take up. They are holding all spring games, and will also be having in-depth analysis of all the practices, and keep you up to date on everything Big Ten. A big reason is because the Big Ten is just coming off a huge bowl season, doing pretty good, with a 4-3 record. Of course, the go-to place for everything Buckeye would be, ahem, Inside The Shoe.
The Buckeye Battle Cry and
Eleven Warriors are already jumping on the Spring fever. tBBC posted an article on the
upcoming offense, which is going to be deadly to any defense that faces them. 11W talks about having Carlos Hyde and company in the backfield this season, and what it will
mean.
A huge thing this spring will be, for the third time,
Young Terrelle Pryor, who is entering his junior year, and is not "growing up in front of our very eyes, folks", as much as
Brent Musburger would like to think so. Seriously, though, the big question will be was the Rose Bowl a one time thing. Can he continue on in his ability to run and throw the football. All will be answered. Maybe not this spring, but certainly this fall. Of course, the depth of running backs is another huge story. We have 5-6 capable backs. Of course, number 4 in your program and number 1 in your heart, Jamaal Berry headlines the new backs to feature this spring. Berry wasn't able to play last year due to an injured hamstring, but reportedly, he is firing on all cylinders, proving to the coaches he can compete for a third slot. Hyde and Rod Smith are coming in with huge expectations, as Hyde is hoping to be the next Beanie, and Smith is looking to be the next Eddie George. Don't get caught up too much into that, but these guys are good regardless. Tressel is going to have a fun time whipping these guys into shape for a championship run.
