Saine unlikely to see much Fiesta time
A difficult year for running back Brandon Saine got a little tougher Sunday, when Ohio State coach Jim Tressel said Saine appears a doubtful participant in the Fiesta Bowl after being limited in practice this week.
“I don’t know if he will be able to help,” Tressel said at his final press conference Sunday morning.
“He really hasn’t worked as much as we would like. He is going to dress and so forth.”
Ohio’s Mr. Football in 2006 from Piqua, sophomore Saine had only 26 carries this season after getting 60 in 2007, and he appears to be a candidate to move to fullback next season.

Does this make sense playing the acknowledged fastest player on the OSU team as a fullback next year. I have never really heard why OSU is not playing to Brandon Saine’s strengths. What seldom opportunities he is given are wasted by running him into the middle.It certainly has been a shame to see OSU waste this young athelete’s talent over the past two years.
