I'm sure I speak for most that the biggest concern here is what happens with Bradley Roby. On a defense lacking "sure things" this year... Roby, along with Ryan Shazier and to a lesser extent Christian Bryant, were to be the guys that could be counted on week in and week out.
Carlos Hyde was extremely productive for us in his 10 games last year with 970 yards and 16 TDs, but RB is the Buckeyes deepest position. Jordan Hall, Bri'onte Dunn, Rod Smith, Warren Ball, and the two frosh Elliott and Wilson, are all more than capable of picking up the work load. There's also a decent chance Hyde is brought back to the team like Storm Klein was last year. Either way, the Roby situation is the big one as far as level of concern.
A source told ESPN's Brett McMurphy that there is surveillance video of the incident that's contrary to what is being reported.
Rumor down here in Cbus is that Roby is looking at a game or two suspension
Also, got this from an ESPN article regarding the Hyde situation
Not to get too off topic, but the media in Columbus seems awful as far as breaking OSU news.
They were way behind the ball on Tatgate (broken by Yahoo). They were behind the ball on Meyer being hired (broken by ElevenWarriors). Today they jumped the gun on Hyde. If I were the Dispatch, I'd throw as much money as I could at Lesmerises.
Yeah, they missed badly today with the story on Hyde being dismissed from the team. On a side note and because you mentioned them, Eleven Warriors is just a great site - they've been pretty awesome with their coverage for a while now.
Any more news on the Carlos Hyde security footage? I've heard numerous rumors today that it will exonerate him completely.
