Buckeyes’ Wells is doubtful for Saturday’s game
Jim Tressel is a master at playing dumb while looking like a genius. The latest example of this extraordinary gift came today during the Ohio State coach’s weekly news conference. Tressel was asked about Chris Wells’ foot injury — you know, what it is, exactly? — and deflected the query like a lobbed pass into the wind.
“I can’t even think of the word … his foot’s hurting,” Tressel said while alluding to long medical terms that most of us have never heard. “I’m still in the ‘his foot hurts’ era.”
That said, Wells is doubtful for Saturday’s game against Ohio, although Tressel said Wells told him “he feels great.”
Wells went down in the third quarter of Saturday’s 43-0 pasting of Youngstown State. I’m fairly sure the Buckeyes can get past Ohio U without Wells. But that Week 3 trip to USC might be another matter.
“I’m hoping he can get back in there as soon as possible,” Tressel said, speaking for an entire state of OSU crazies.
As for tearing up the game plan for the Bobcats from Athens, Tressel said backup running backs Brandon Saine, Dan Herron and Mo Wells will be running familiar plays.
“We won’t do a bunch of different things. We’re not going to change conceptually. It’s just different people,” Tressel said.

Rest him for SC. Let Saine and Maurice Wells do the running. Play 1st string quarterback 1 quarter, play kid from PA. 2nd and 3rd and play 3rd string QB the 4th quarter.Sound right or not?By jcwlm67
