Beanie Wells 'Doubtful' Against USC

Suicide watch time in Columbus, Ohio! Jim Tressel announced today that Beanie Wells isn't necessarily going to play against Southern Cal on Saturday.

"I'm listing him as doubtful," Tressel said. "He had more soreness this morning than we hoped for. A late-afternoon practice followed by a morning practice, we're hoping that's a little bit of the reason why."

The hope was that Wells would wake up Thursday morning and feel better than he did one day prior, but that did not materialize.

"SteelCityBucknut", a commenter at the popular Ohio State fan blog Elevenwarriors.com, is hopeful that Tressel is simply trying to confuse the opposition with misinformation. He writes:

I find it hilarious that 75 percent of you all believe this tomfullery!!! Seriously!! One day beanie states that he could carry it 45 times if need be....aka he's damn near 100 percent!!! All of the sudden.... As they're about to board the plane to hollywoody.... Well ya know what beanie's pretty sore.... Prolly won't play!!! Hilarious!!! And if you believe it....you're hilarious!!!

FanHouse wishes Beanie Wells all the best, and hopes to see him on the field against USC. (A collision between the beastly RB and USC LB Rey Maualuga promises to be more devastating than anything the Large Hadron Collider has to offer.)
