Chris "Beanie" Wells walked down the hall at the Woody Hayes Athletic Center Tuesday afternoon walking a bit gingerly, but waving his protective boot over his head at reporters. With that, on a Tuesday that his coach and teammates spent talking about him, Wells said more than any of them. You don't wave your boot if you're not going to play against USC. When asked if Wells would be ready in 10 days for the Trojans, the newly crowned No. 1 team in the nation, OSU coach Jim Tressel said, "Yeah."

I'm still trying to figure out exactly what and how he was supposedely injured in the first place. That was quite a speedy recovery.

SUPPOSEDLY! Yea, it was probably all staged, maybe by Bush now that he's finished with 9/11.

His foot got stuck in the turf and his momentum pushed him forward and put a stress on his foot.

I'm alright with him not being 100%, look at last year. Beanie at 75-80% is still better than most in the land and better than anyone else USC will face. 100%, who knows how good he could be.

Too bad the USC defense is better than anyone else OSU will face... by a mile

September 3, 2008  08:41 AM ET

I think OSU will be ready

As someone who has little love for either team am glad to hear that Beanie is going to be able to play against USC. They don't need him this week vs. Ohio anyway.

This dude is a big-time talent and Ohio St will need him to run for at least 100 to win that game IMO.

I hope Tressel excersizes common sense and sits this guy against Ohio. No need for him to play against them with 'SC coming up.

September 3, 2008  09:17 AM ET

I dont see him playing this week, Tressel isnt foolish

September 3, 2008  09:18 AM ET

USC i s going to demolish OSU, the score will be something like 42-17. And Beanie will have like 40 yards rushing.

September 3, 2008  09:19 AM ET

Yeah Beanie is better. That makes me and alot of Buckeyes HAPPY.

September 3, 2008  09:23 AM ET

I hope Beanie is 100% when he faces USC.... That way, there will be no excuses when USC wins. It should be an awesome game regardless.

September 3, 2008  09:31 AM ET

And amazingly the FLorida fan nails it! I dont want any injuries to provide excuses for either side. Line it up, button up, and get after it!

September 3, 2008  09:34 AM ET

its will be an awsome game.... ohio state has a very talented team as does usc.... ohio state receivers need to get off the ball fast and get open....beanie is the best running back in the nation but the usc defense is really good... o-line needs to create holes for beanie to shoot the gaps.... we will see in 13days who the better team is.

September 3, 2008  09:34 AM ET

beanie and his o-line vs. the best d in the land...can't wait for this one

September 3, 2008  09:36 AM ET

Hooray... now the OSU guys wont be able to use him as an excuse when the Trojans kick their arses

September 3, 2008  09:41 AM ET

lol arses... we will see about that..... bud

September 3, 2008  09:42 AM ET

Can't wait til the 13th.

September 3, 2008  09:46 AM ET

tressel is stupid if he play beanie againt ohio..... rest him and get him ready for the game of the year

I think the so called "experts" who are claiming Ohio State is going to get rolled are smoking something! This isn't a Virginia defense folks .. you actually believe you're going to come out and throw all over this D?? Get real!!
