Before the season began, freshman running back Legend Bey was garnering some of the most hype of anyone on the Ohio State football team. He had an impressive spring, although he got hurt before the Spring Game. That seems to be the high point of his career thus far.
Since then, things have gone poorly for Bey. He was suspended at the start of Fall practice. While he scored a touchdown in the opener against Ball State, he has hardly seen the field since. After the Illinois game, it seems that Bey is firmly in the doghouse.
Legend Bey seems to have made Ryan Day mad enough to keep him out of games
Bey did not see the field at all against the Fighting Illini. He did get hurt against Kent State in his only carry of the game, as he hurt his ankle. Still, he was not listed on the availability report with any injury designation. It seems that Day simply didn’t want to play Bey for whatever reason.
Bey must be in Day’s doghouse. It’s the only explanation for why he didn’t see the field. Devin McCuin was the one returning kicks instead of him, which means he is in trouble. Day wasn’t asked about Bey following the victory, but something is clearly happening behind the scenes…
