Conner Scores Six Touchdowns, Is Not Visiting Kentucky
There was a rumor going around that Ohio State commit Nick Conner, an inside linebacker out of Dublin Scioto, would visit Kentucky this weekend. If there was a visit, it appears it has been called off. After signing his mid-year agreement with the Buckeyes, Columbus the place he wants to be.
Dublin Scioto played Westerville South on Friday, and Conner played one of his best games of the season. Conner contributed 172 rushing yards and six touchdowns for the Irish and set up a seventh with an interception return as Dublin Scioto defeated Westerville South 56-49. You know, if Damien Harris doesn't choose Ohio State...
Joe Burrow Dominating Ohio
For my money, the best high school football player in Ohio is Buckeye quarterback commit Joe Burrow. Against a stingy Steubenville team, Burrow accounted for six touchdowns, two of them on the ground, and threw for over 300 yards. threw for over 300 yards. Burrow and his Athens teammates were victorious in a high scoring game, 58-42.
Burrow is one of the best quarterbacks in the nation and is hoping to get a bump in the rankings. With the season he is having, he might receive a bump soon; he's performing as well as any quarterback in America. The Buckeyes ought to be confident in Burrow's ability to lead the team.
Damien Harris Hurts Knee
One of the best running backs in the class of 2015, Damien Harris, was injured in his game on Friday night against Southwestern. Kentucky.com reported:
Trainers checked out Harris' knee on the sideline, and he remained in the locker room at the start of the second half. He later returned to the sideline with an ice pack on his right knee, the Register reported on Twitter. No additional details about the nature of Harris' injury were immediately available.
Harris did not play after scoring three touchdowns in the first half, and he left in the second quarter. Nobody really knows the severity of the injury, but once we get the scoop, we will let you know.
