Message: [QUOTE="NJCuse97, post: 1441232, member: 5058"] My recall on it was that Robert Smith was considering sitting out the season until the week before our game? He wanted to enter the pre-med program and the OSU coaches felt that was not a good use of his time, so he suggested he would sit out because he went to OSU to play school. This wasn't just posturing because he did exactly that in 1991, and everyone thought he would actually miss another season, or transfer. That left OSU very one dimensional with the ball in Herbstreit's hands. From his Wiki page [I]While in college, he openly criticized the Ohio State football staff for not allowing him to concentrate on academics, as he wanted to eventually attend medical school; he sat out the 1991 football season, switching to a [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Track_and_field']track and field[/URL] scholarship. For the Buckeyes' track team, he posted a personal-best time of 10.24 seconds in the [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/100_meters']100 meters[/URL].[URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Smith_(running_back)#cite_note-3'][3][/URL][URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Smith_(running_back)#cite_note-4'][4][/URL] He seriously considered transferring to either USC or [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stanford_University']Stanford University[/URL] to play football. But Ohio State coach [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Cooper_(American_football)']John Cooper[/URL] had kept the door open for Smith to return to the Buckeyes' football team, and Smith finally returned to play in 1992.[URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Smith_(running_back)#cite_note-5'][5][/URL][/I] We game planned as if he wouldn't be there, and he showed up. When we tried to adjust to his presence, they adjusted by throwing. We were caught with our pants down and most of what they tried worked. For the record, they finished the year with 8 wins ranked #18. [MEDIA=youtube]kqaTGrFk7b8[/MEDIA] [/QUOTE]
