The Ben Person Drinking Game!

First off, I think this picture speaks volumes. Ben Person, an offensive guard, isn't blocking someone, he's tackling his teammate.

It's a running joke. And I guess 'running' joke is indeed a pun in this instance.

I'm going down my checklist for the Buckeyes' game.

Ben Person false start?

CHECK.

Thank you NCAA for allowing the refs to call out the numbers of those committing infractions. It has further confirmed what I have been seeing for more then a year now.

Ben Freaking Person gets nabbed for more false starts then anyone playing college football. I defy you to disprove that statement.

Against Purdon't, it took all of three plays for Ben Person to get his false start onto the stat sheet. How in the name of Woody Hayes is this still happening?

EVERY SINGLE GAME, BEN PERSON GETS CALLED FOR A FALSE START. EVERY GAME!

In 2005, Ben Person saw action in the last nine games of the season.

In 2006, Ben Person played in all 12 games.

In 2007, Ben Person started every single game at right guard.

In 2008? As a fifth year player and returning starter, he still hasn't figured out how to wait for the fuckin' snap. Re-goddamn-diculous.

To his credit, BP throws a nice block here and there and is called on to pull often in Tressel's scheme. The false starts are just infuriating though.

The offensive line play has been maddeningly inconsistent and Ben Person's false starts are just another symptom.

If Ben Person gets another false start against Michigan State, go ahead and give yourself a drink. And by 'a drink', I mean buy a bottle of Jack and slam half of it. Maybe that'll make OSU's offensive line get motivated.
