How did Tyrell Sutton get out of Ohio?

The Ohio State Buckeyes rushed for 91 yards in a losing effort against Penn State last night. Meanwhile, former Archbishop Hoban star Tyrell Sutton continued to shred Big 10 defenses with a 244 yard, three touchdown performance against Wisconsin. All of this raises one big question for the Buckeyes' coaching staff:

Where were you guys?

Sure, Sutton is small, but wasn't there something about the leading rusher in Ohio high school history that might have prompted a second look? The Northwestern staff sure thought so, and now they look like geniuses for locking Sutton up before the first snap of his senior year at Hoban.

Jim Tressel and company have a well deserved reputation for cornering the market on prime Ohio high school talent. Ty Sutton is the one that got away. If you're a Buckeye fan, you better hope that this doesn't haunt your team for the next four years.
