Rumor: USC Sanchez carted off field

I was right. Mustain wasn't the #1 recruit in the country last year. And I'll take Pryor straight up anytime.

1 Percy Harvin
2 Andre Smith
3 Chris Wells
4 Gerald McCoy
5 Sergio Kindle
6 Matthew Stafford
7 Vidal Hazelton
8 C.J. Spiller
9 Allen Bradford
10 Mitch Mustain

BTW, I count 4 Ohio State recruits on that list. I count 16 USC recruits.
 
I'll just keep whipping my dead horse because some here do not seem to grasp how deep USC is at QB.

Their #2 is Mitch Mustain. As in HS phenom. Parade and Gatorade POTY.

Mitch Mustain, the guy who went 8-0 as a true Freshman in the SEC while handcuffed by a retarded HC.

Two additional notes of interest....

1)Being a Freshman didn't seem to bother him too much as he led Arkansas to a complete *** whipping of #2 Auburn at their place.

2)He is 61-2 since Jr. High. Those two losses came in a game he broke his arm in the 11th grade and one in the 8th grade.

USC's "#2" would start at any school in the nation, to include Texas.
 
NFL and College are two different things... I might get flamed for this but look at VY. One of the best all-time QB's in College, but so far has been so-so with the Tenn (some of it has to do with WR's and it is still early in his career)

It is obvious in the last 2 title games and with Illinois u can't handle speed.

I don't necessarily hate OSU the team, just that every year in the week Big 10 they go undefeated and play cupcake teams then bowl time comes around and they are shell shocked by a team that is CLEARLY better then them...

don't give me this b.s. either that OSU is better than Florida/LSU
 
Obv. the NFL does not back into title games or bowl games where they get summarily thumped year after year.
 
Called a ******** penalty. I was at that game.

I remember thinking at the end of the game boy whoever was on the bad side of that call has to be furious at the refs for the delay of that call.

I was more mad at the refs than OSU winning.
 
People tend to forget the run-up to that tOSU-Miami game b/c Miami has crapped the bed in the past few years.....but that Miami run from 2000 to 2002 was probably the most impressive dynasty of college football of the modern era.

It was more impressive than NU in the mid-90s.

That team had NFL players from top to bottom. The backups to the backups are starting for NFL teams. They were blowing most teams out and looked like men v boys in almost every game.

And they were 14+ favs v. tOSU......and then couldn't do **** against them for 4 quarters. All of this vaunted speed, and tOSU totally shut it down.

The whole "tOSU doesn't have speed" or "Big Ten doesn't have speed" is the most overstated and idiotic refrain in modern CFB.

You don't win as many games as tOSU has won without having "speed."

tOSU may lose LA in a few weeks but it won't be because they lack 'speed'.
 
Well, we have found the solution for Ohio State to not get abused by faster teams from now on. Just have them go back in time to that game v. that one team. Congrats on a title every year. Your school is still in the rear view mirror of the nation to the class of Michigan.
 
If only UT was fast enough to get into the big boy games where a slow team like OSU can lose twice in a row.

UT has the speed to play in the Alamo and in the Holiday, but not in BCS Bowl games (well, except for the two years VY was effective (ancient history)). Teams that have to play their Bowl games in December don't usually provide their fan bases with examples of speed that ready them for assessing the speed of truly upper echelon programs. I mean, the last time UT played a Big X team (just weeks before OSU plodded about v Fla.) they struggled in their own backyard to fend off a 6-6 Iowa squad. Before that, the plodding OSU team pounded sand up their asses on their own home field. Perhaps trying to run around with sand up your backside leads to playing in the Alamo bowl.

Anyway....

Mustain will be a worthy opponent for the Buckeyes should Sanchez in fact not find his way back to the starting position by 9/13. It is hard to gauge any drop off as Sanchez has actually played less than Mustain overall, though one must assume that, if Sanchez was going to get the nod, so far he has proven to be the better QB by at least a sliver. USC is definitely the most talent-rich program OSU will play this year if pre-college ranking mean anything on the actual field of play. Talent mixed with experience goes to OSU in this game, so one of the issues will be whether USC can shore up its more numerous question marks with exceptional talents that can jump the experience climb enough to tilt the balance in the Trojan's favor (including overcoming any uber-talented OSU frosh like Pryor or their OL haul).

OSU will have to show they can pressure the QB and hold in the middle as the DL is where any question marks arise (especially at DT, where experience returns, but not outstanding talent or natural size). On O the tackles are going to have to show that they are improving against speed rushers, though I am not certain that SEC champion-like speed resides on the edges of the USC D.

Looking forward to the game. It's like a BCS bowl game in September. Sweet. Hopefully USC comes out super hot in their first two games and OSU holds their end of the bargain,a s well, so that, if not a 1v2 matchup, it will be 2v3. Tressel, after mastering big games in his first 6 seasons, has fallen on some hard times. Needs to get back some of that mojo, or whatever.
