Tyler Moeller out for season

[Chardon]

Ohio State senior safety-linebacker Tyler Moeller will undergo season-ending surgery this week to repair a torn pectoral muscle.Moeller suffered the injury in the first quarter of Saturday's road win against Illinois. MRI exam results on Monday revealed the tear. On Tuesday, Ohio State coach Jim Tressel confirmed Moeller will be out for the rest of the season.

Moeller, who played the "star" position in Ohio State's often-used nickel package, leads the team in both tackles for loss with 4.5 and forced fumbles with 2. He has 20 tackles, a sack and an interception.

Moeller already had planned to petition the NCAA for a sixth year of eligibility after missing the entire 2009 season with a head injury he suffered as the victim of an assault in a Florida bar and restaurant in July 2009. If his petition is successful, Moeller will return to the Buckeyes for spring football in 2011.

This is too bad. The kid was fast, aggressive and seemingly always around the ball. I hope he gets that 6th year.

Wow that is really a shame. He was playing really well this year - was all over the field and seemed to be in every play. I will definitely miss seeing him on the field every Saturday. It was amazing watching him play after what happened last year. Wish him nothing but the best and I hope we get to see him next year!

yeah losing Barnett and Moeller really blows...

depending on pryor's injury, we could be in a world of hurt.

Luckily we play Indiana. With that said, we cant look past them. I can see Bauserman playing alot.

God, i can already see how many times the announcers will say " Bausermasn played minor league baseball for the pirates organization"

I think Indiana can and will score on us, this game is no gimme. If Bauserman is playing a lot it will be a close one, so let's hope you're wrong.

All im saying, would you rather play a Wisconsin, Penn State etc... or an Indiana team to work out the new players on defense.

Hell yeah but we dont have to worry about that since Pryor will be playing.

 

[Chris]

I wouldn't play him...I'd play Guiton. Yikes. Don't want that injury ruining our season.

Silly Miami thought they won. Seems like you like Miami, and if you like Miami, then you like LeBron and if like LeBron, then you hate America.
