  As much as his clean bill of health has allowed him to jockey with freshmen TreVeyon Henderson and Miyan Williams for carries in the upcoming season, it's also put him in a better position to find success on the field after rushing for 514 yards and eight touchdowns in seven games last fall. Known as a physical downhill runner over his first three seasons at Ohio State, Teague sees an opportunity to become a more balanced back as a fourth-year junior. He said that additional carries in practice have given opportunities to improve his vision, where he can spot openings in a defense, cut and change direction instead of just steamrolling down the field.

"Not being so one-dimensional to one side," Teague said. "There's some times where I've missed some cuts on the backside this past year, so I've got to make sure my eyes are in the right place and reading the d-line right. I've gotten really better on that with certain runs." The effort caught the attention of running backs coach Tony Alford in a recent film review with his players. He noticed a sequence from practice in which Teague set up a linebacker before cutting in another direction, spotting an opening on the field. "He wouldn't have seen that before," Alford said. "A lot of it goes back to that patience of understanding schematically where things are going and the timing of pushing a guy." If Teague's vision is enhanced, leading to some shiftiness, he should be a more productive runner and remain at the top of the pecking order at running back. "It's going to help his whole game immensely," Alford said. - Columbus Dispatch
