The growing legend of Ohio State's Curtis Samuel

COLUMBUS, Ohio -- By now, there are too many options for Urban Meyer to just pick one feat of athleticism as his favorite.

The Ohio State coach could choose between physical runs through contact or dazzling displays of raw speed leaving contrails through a defense. He could point to a tough catch in traffic or the flawless routes that left cornerbacks befuddled and gave the target a clear path to the end zone. Maybe he could even dip into special teams and a couple jaw-dropping jukes as a punt or kickoff returner.

Instead, Meyer goes all the way back to the first time he saw the flash of greatness in Curtis Samuel shortly after he arrived on campus for spring practice.
