Tressel on Saine: ‘He said hi to me once’
Jim Tressel just made a near-perfect description of running back Brandon Saine.
On his weekly radio show, Tressel was asked by a caller about leadership in the offensive huddle. After talking about a few players, Tressel brought up Saine, the Piqua High School product.
“He’s a leader in the way he plays, but he’s not really an outgoing guy,” Tressel said. “He said hi to be once in his first three years here. I’m not sure if he said much more than that.”
That’s a good characterization of Saine’s personality. Even through high school as the best player on his team, Saine was never a rah-rah player. He provided his motivation with his speedy and powerful legs.
He has done the same this season for the Buckeyes. He is second on the team in total yards with 426 yards rushing on 81 carries.
