Jenkins has Buckeyes' attention - sort of

But it must be conceded that Ohio State cornerback Bradley Roby went out of his way to defy the football gods when he called the UI's red-hot A.J. Jenkins "the product of a system" that moves him around for favorable matchups, and furthermore: "What I've seen so far, he's a decent receiver, but he's nothing special really."

How does that rank in terms of disrespect? All Jenkins has done is capture a nation-leading 61 percent of Illini aerial yardage and catch passes for more yards (450) in the last two games than any Big Ten player in history.
