What does it Mean if Beanie Wells is Out?

Ohio State’s Chris “Beanie” Wells was carted from the field today during the third quarter of the ass-whopping they gave Youngstown State. He apparently has a right foot and/or leg injury, but no one is saying yet what the extent of his injury might be.
Here’s the thing. Many experts have the Buckeyes pegged to be National Championship contenders. Without Wells, can they do it?
I’m not sure. Although I think the Heisman Trophy hopeful is a bit overrated, considering that the entire team is pretty good, he is one of the backbones of this program. We’ve seen other teams fall apart with early-season blows.
That’s the thing about college football. A loss (losing the game or just losing a player) can shatter confidence if teams let it get to them. I feel like tOSU’s entire mind set is “Beanie! Beanie! Beanie!” Well, maybe not entire, but it is at least a good part of it.
Before we speculate, though, at least maybe I should wait and see is Wells really is out for a few games (or god forbid, the rest of the season). Maybe it was nothing.
On a side note, it was nice to see Pryor get some playing time!
