John Cooper, who is set to lead his No. 7 Ohio State Buckeyes into Camp Randall Stadium Saturday to battle the Wisconsin Badgers, is somewhat concerned about one of the Badgers’ men. True, Jamar Fletcher, Michael Bennett and Brooks Bollinger have performed well this season, but Cooper is more concerned with Wisconsin’s ’12th man,’ the crowd.”It is a loud place to play,” Cooper said. “There is no question it will be a loud stadium.”Wisconsin fans are famous for throwing objects at opposing players and generating a noise that makes the stadium deafening.OSU quarterback Kirk Herbstreit was drilled in the shoulder with a tomato before the Buckeyes’ 20-16 loss to Wisconsin in 1992. His jersey featured a red stain all afternoon. Camp Randall has been a house of horrors for the Buckeyes at other times as well. The then-No. 3 Buckeyes escaped with a 13-13 tie in 1993, but a win would likely have cemented a Rose Bowl bid. The 2000 Buckeyes are 4-0 on the year, but three of those games have been played at home. The lone away game, at Arizona, was played in front of a rowdy crowd. Cooper and the Bucks are hoping the Arizona experience will help them deal with the harsh surroundings on Saturday. “In playing a road game at Arizona, that was a loud place, that should help us. I think it will help Steve (Bellisari) more than anybody,” he said. Obviously we’ll have to do some audibalizing at the line of scrimmage. He’s (Bellisari) going to have to do a better job than he did at Arizona, cupping his hands and going down the line and making sure everyone gets the calls.”Offensive lineman Adrien Clarke said he has heard that Camp Randall is a difficult place to play, but he does not think the crowd will play a big factor in the line being able to hear Bellisari at the line of scrimmage.”I’m not concerned at all,” Clarke said. “It’s about concentrating and listening for nobody else’s voices except his.”Clarke, however, doubted if the experience from the Arizona game would help the Buckeyes.”Honestly, I don’t know how much playing at Arizona will help, because it varies so much from stadium to stadium,” he said. “Arizona was pretty rowdy, but toward the second half it started to calm down.”The noise level receded once the Buckeyes regained the lead and began putting points on the board. That is exactly what senior offensive lineman Mike Gurr wants to see again. “I look forward to the challenge of going up there,” he said. “I hear it’s a hostile crowd up there. The student body gets into it and it’s pretty wild. I think we need to do what we did last week (against Penn State). We need to score early and get the crowd out of the game. If we do that, we’ll quiet the place down and play ball.”Cornerback David Mitchell is not sure what to expect during the game.”Since I have been here, I have not been (to Madison),” Mitchell said. “My first two years we did not play Wisconsin. Last year they were here and I am a senior. Nobody else has been there either. I really do not know too much about it and I’m really not to concerned about it.”Mitchell does, however, have a plan for avoiding the dog excrement and marshmallows that Badger fans have thrown at opposing players in the past.”I never heard about that,” Mitchell said, laughing. “But I plan on being in the middle of the field where the action is rather than on the sideline. I don’t think they can throw that far.”
