when you don't hear a corner's named called out a whole lot, it's usually a good thing.

THE COLUMBUS DISPATCH

Besides Juice Williams sneaking repeatedly for first downs and helping Illinois play keep-away in the fourth quarter in Ohio Stadium, there is another lasting image from the Illini's 28-21 win over Ohio State in 2007. It was of receivers breaking wide open to catch four touchdown passes from Williams.

The object for the OSU defense today is to keep that from happening again, while also figuring out a way to keep the Illini from running with effectiveness. That means it will be an intense afternoon for cornerback Chimdi Chekwa and his cohorts in the secondary as they deal with Illinois' version of the spread offense.

"With the spread, we're not so much on the island, compared to (going against) like a two-tight end set with wide receiver out there by himself; that's when you're on an island a lot," Chekwa said.

Another 3 star from Florida that JT found. I think when it is all said and done it will be like Santonio Holmes. We will all wonder how Florida, Miami, and Free Shoes University Criminoles missed this kid that was in their backyard.

There is so much talent down there in Florida.................it is easy to locate the talent but hard to get them to come north, this tOSU staff has done a great job of sustaining our foot hold in Floirda created by Coop's staff and in my opinion improving our chances of getting these Florida kids...........

Yeah we offered like 10-12 guys from there. Maybe we won't get 3-4 kids like we have the last two years, but in the long run I think those 10-12 offers this year will help pulling more kids out of the sunshine state.
