Interesting to watch OSU position him as "part" of the team and not "the face" of the team.

Absolutely - this may just be the balance he needs to be successful. John, I really value this kind of reporting you provide, can't get it anywhere else. Play on, Charlie

But did you really expect anything different from OSU football? thats what its about, it always has been. Did the make Derek Anderson or even Smith the face? nope. You could argue that maybe Stephen jackson or Storm woods were "faces" (and we all just live in Chad Johnsons world) but do we ever really have ONE guy whos the face? hell I see more pics and posts with linemen up there than QB's or receivers.

It was interesting... in the moment of truth... to see the principles hold up. You always wonder until you see it. I didn't include this but DJ reached out to Oregon State. The Beavers didn't call him back right away. They mulled whether he was right for them for a while before reaching back out.
