  Kevin Wilson considered it amusing, absurd, maybe even unfair. Ohio State football's offensive coordinator watched redshirt freshman defensive tackle Mike Hall go up against Ohio State's third-string offensive line early in camp. One of those things was not like the other. "I always laugh when Mike Hall goes out there as a (third teamer)," Wilson said. "I mean, come on dude. Jeez, that's as good a three as I ever saw in my life. He ain't no three." Defensive line coach Larry Johnson made a small correction a day later when asked about Wilson's comment. Hall was with the threes - as in past tense. That made perfect sense early in preseason camp, with veterans such as Taron Vincent, Jerron Cage and Ty Hamilton leading the tackle rotation.

Nowadays, though, Hall is running with the ones and twos. At last Thursday's open practice, he opened the inside offense vs. defense drill with a group of established first-string defenders. In that specific period, Hall lined up as the nose guard. Johnson said the Streetsboro native's role cannot be that narrowly defined yet. He has a plan to use Hall both there and at 3 technique on a defensive line that may rotate 11 or 12 deep. "He's got a chance to do something really special," Johnson said. "He's had a great camp. He's really gotten stronger, and he's gotten bigger. He's fast, he's athletic, and we hope for great things from Mike." - Cleveland Plain Dealer
