Things to Watch

Injury Update
Braxton Miller had two occasions last Saturday when he missed playing time over concerns of injuries. There have been no reports of injuries and he is expected to start this week. Jordan Hall was pulled from the game for a knee injury, and he is not expected to play this week. A decision has not been made on whether safety C.J. Barnett will play.

Tyrone We Hardly Knew You
You may have missed it in the news, but an OSU receiver was dismissed from the team. Sophomore Tyrone Williams was highly touted out of East Cleveland with his 6'6" height. He only had five career receptions for 74 yards and he constantly dropped passes thrown his direction. Urban Meyer said he "violated team rules" which is a generic description that could involve a variety of violations. Williams had trouble last year with the coaches, including a missed trip to the Gator Bowl
