Just to clear the air, I don't feel any need to discuss the quarterback position. Terrelle is a freak and that is all that needs to be said.The 2009 Ohio State running game will feature a collection of guys who certainly aren't big enough or as rock solid as their predecessor Beanie Wells. His shadow alone makes the likes of Boom Herron or Brandon Saine look like a mere blip on the radar.
Regardless of what the public may think of the two main running back options for OSU, this season has the potential to feature a two to three headed monster attack that has everything you want and more in an Ohio State offensive attack.
Boom Herron, who will get the majority of the carries this season, is the bullish, workhorse type that will be a leader each and every day in practice and on the field. I expect his experience working behind Beanie last year will work wonders for his knowledge of the offense and what he needs to do to be a big time contributor on this team.
Brandon Saine and Jaamal Berry are two guys that have one common weapon at their disposal: speed. Saine, despite his past injuries, is a former Ohio track champion and record breaker and finally is starting to look like an actual running back. Expect Saine to be more of a home run threat in 2009. Berry will be the odd man out most likely, but he will certainly be seeing the field this season. Aside from his rocket type speed and burst, he possesses a strong knack for catching passes out of the backfield and making something happen up field while also presenting a tough, in between-the-tackles type mentality. He was one of the stars, if not THE star of this past recruiting class and it will show each and every time he takes the field.
