OT: Johnathan Hankins says he'll "rip Le'Veon Bell's head off"
Wow. I don't think I've ever heard a Big Ten player come out and say something like this right before a game before. I wonder how Urban feels about this (my guess is he enjoys it).

Then Bell will have to sit out a play.
September 27th, 2012 at 11:45 PM ^
September 27th, 2012 at 11:52 PM ^
This is exactly why we need the real refs in there. The replacement refs have no idea about the nuances of these rules.
September 28th, 2012 at 12:35 PM ^
Cuz his bell would've have been run(g)....
Thanks everybody, you can catch me again at 2, 5 and 9!
(sorry couldn't resist)
September 28th, 2012 at 1:20 PM ^
I thought it was 10, 2 and 4. Nope, wait, that's Dr. Pepper. Never mind.
September 27th, 2012 at 10:50 PM ^
September 27th, 2012 at 10:51 PM ^
Yeah, they'll have to play with a headless RB. No way he sees the holes after that.
September 27th, 2012 at 11:21 PM ^
Dude, this would be awesome if they installed a carved pumpkin in place of what was his head, cause then all of the OSU D would be all freaked out yelling "Emrgerd its the headless running back!"
I'm just saying.

The Legend of Sleepy Lansing?

Damnit, where is LSUFreek when you need him?
September 28th, 2012 at 9:16 AM ^
Not being able to see holes would present an issue. OTOH, Bell's center of gravity would be lower making him harder to tackle.
September 27th, 2012 at 10:53 PM ^
was playing littering this week. Did he mean he'd pick up Le'Veon Bell's trash and recycle for him?
September 27th, 2012 at 10:54 PM ^
A headless Bell is still their best option.
September 28th, 2012 at 9:12 AM ^
September 28th, 2012 at 11:39 AM ^
only affects you if your helmet comes off. If they seal the helmet to his shoulder pads he won't actually need to have a head. On the bright side he won't have to worry about getting a concussion.
September 27th, 2012 at 10:55 PM ^
My guess is that this will only fuel Gholston's desire to do the same to Braxton Miller.
September 27th, 2012 at 10:59 PM ^

September 28th, 2012 at 12:41 AM ^
Gholston looks like Jevon Kearse, but plays like Pat Massey
September 28th, 2012 at 5:33 AM ^
Now that's cold.
September 28th, 2012 at 9:38 AM ^
William Gholston looks like Vernon Gholston and plays like Vernon Gholston.
September 28th, 2012 at 11:00 AM ^
After Vernon got off the juice. In other words, he looks like college Vernon Gholston and plays like NFL Vernon Gholston.
September 28th, 2012 at 11:23 AM ^
DON'T BLOCK ME BRO
September 27th, 2012 at 10:55 PM ^
Terry Glenn talked a lot of crap about Michigan, didn't amount to much.

THIS my friend made me laugh out loud.

September 28th, 2012 at 6:25 PM ^
Since they are so good at talking out of their ass...
September 27th, 2012 at 11:21 PM ^
Two classiest teams in the B1G.
September 27th, 2012 at 11:35 PM ^
Srsly?
September 28th, 2012 at 4:19 AM ^
Up - Down - Up - Down - Block - Low Kick ....?!?
September 27th, 2012 at 11:36 PM ^
This is great. You never hear any player say stuff like this anymore.
September 27th, 2012 at 11:53 PM ^
September 27th, 2012 at 11:54 PM ^

September 28th, 2012 at 12:01 AM ^
I'm so excited to watch these two offensive juggernauts just go at it.
September 28th, 2012 at 12:08 AM ^
"That's assault, brotha."
September 28th, 2012 at 6:45 AM ^
"Ya double dare me?"
September 28th, 2012 at 12:09 AM ^
Will Shazier and Grant play hot potato with it as they learn the fundmentals of wraping their arms around something?
September 28th, 2012 at 1:19 AM ^
Manball.
September 28th, 2012 at 6:19 AM ^
...and then he will probably proceed to eat it.
September 28th, 2012 at 7:53 AM ^
September 29th, 2012 at 3:06 AM ^
"can't say I'm surprised"...or...
"I am not suprised" would have made sense there.
Not what you said.
Unless it was meant sarcastically, which brings up a whole different set of possibilities!

"Ohio State coach Urban Meyer has said the Buckeyes defense is built for stopping a straight-ahead runner like Bell, but it also ranks last in the Big Ten while giving up 394.8 yards per game." - from the article
So, we can conclude from this that there is indeed a more practical foundation for this strategy as Hankins has explained it. Clearly, this might be the only way they can stop the rush. I wonder what a decapitation formation looks like on Ohio's base defense - would it make sense for it to come on a biltz?
