Normal human beings don’t usually recover from an achilles injury in six months. It’s quite obvious that Tuf Borland isn’t your normal human being. The linebacker from Illinois suffered the injury during spring practices, which left many wondering if Borland would be ready for the start of the regular season. Luckily for the Buckeyes, Borland has always been a fast healer.
Last week against Oregon State, Borland was on the field for 10 plays. As hard as it was to have Borland out on the field for more plays, this was always part of the plan.
