No love for Herron?

Yeah, I'd hate to see us let Leonard go. Herron gives us a bit of a change of pace, but Leonard just seems to come up huge in the clutch. He hasn't done it much this year, which means he is DUE!!! Maybe that's living too much in the past, though. My rational brain tells me to go with BJGE, Peerman, Herron, & Conner.

Between Nuge and Brown, I'd keep Nuge. Brown is making me nervous. A couple of his kicks have been a little shaky, even though they did go through. He looked great against Dallas, but not as sharp in Philly. Nuge has hit from 50+ a couple of times this year. I know he's missed a few, too. I don't now. Tough call on this one.

He will get every inch he can on every play.

Some of us, knew Herron would preform when given the chance.

You don't average 5+ yards a carry at Ohio State and be trash.

i agree 100% i knew the guy would come in and contribute as best he can, most of the guys that are so shocked and making his performance out to be more than it is are people that expected him to be worthless.

i think all the hate he got on here is making him look a lot more impressive (not saying it hasn't been impressive), but when people have such low expectations, and then someone out performs said expectations it can cause things to get blown out of proportion.

C'mon man, no one is coining Herron as MVP of the game. But, he is turning out to be a pleasant suprise, as a late round draft pick and spending most of the season on the PS. All the man is doing is trying to earn a job. I like what I'm seeing of him thus far.

Btw, I am a Buckeyes homer, and I was one of those not happy with the pick. But now, after seeing some of the other things that he can contribute to the team, I'm all for him sticking with the team.
