The Front Row

IMO Hall is valuable asset to the offense..We may never confuse Hall with either Chris Rainey or Jeff Demps (sp).. But what Hall brings is something neither Hyde or Dunn has the quickness to provide a burst out of the backfield like Braxton Miller can.

That changeup alone gives a true perimeter running element to the read-option game Meyer and offensive coordinator Tom Herman have created.

Hall also gives Ohio State a true passing option in the backfield, opening up a screen game if that's the option they choose to take. Hyde and Dunn, to this point, have not proven to be viable options in the passing game yet.

And Hall can add two very important qualities that should not be overlooked..leadership and experience..The role model for the young freshman can never be underestimated
