Only 3 catches so far this year but he was 2nd on the team with 38 last year. It's a injury that will at least somewhat effect them

Yeah. I agree. He may not have a lot of catches yet, but the kid could ball.

I pray for his full recovery to be timed for early December. Sounds like he has a newborn at home and a family to support. I really do hate hearing about any of these kids being hurt… so it’s sincere when I wish him full recovery. I say that as a dad of a college athlete, a coach and as a human. I’ve experienced the disappointment of a player with injury on each of those levels. Hope All gets back to the field and if not that his tsun degree is a good fallback if he doesn’t make it to the league.

Not really. I didn’t really follow the B1G unless it directly impacted UGA from a rankings standpoint until I moved here in 2009.
I watched the Charles Woodson rose bowl and remember the Fab five growing up, But that is not indicative of their fan base, those are just successful teams.

I have a working theory that between 30-35% of each graduating class doesn’t give a shit about sports at all. No hard data about this BTW. Just academic rankings and my cheap assumptions

They don't care until they're winning, and then you will never hear the end of it.

Sure, you can't fill out a pamphlet on great Ohio State quarterbacks. But, piggybacking on your point, who is on *ichigan's pamphlet? Brady, of course, and that asterisk is acceptable. But who else? Brian Griese? Was he "great"? (Seriously - I don't know the answer to that.) Other than Brady, does *ichigan have a quarterback that started in the Super Bowl?

I can't explain why Ohio State quarterbacks don't do well in the NFL. I really thought Haskins would be better than he was. Fields still has time, and he may be better. I can't think of any recent quarterbacks who were "typical" "NFL quarterbacks".

That last point is the issue. Guys like Troy and Fields don't really fit the NFL. We haven't had an NFL style QB since the mid 90s. But we've had a rarely-broken string of outstanding College QBs since Germaine.

They love keeping up the great facade that scUM is constantly cranking out star NFL QBs and Ohio State is some pit of QB misery.

The only one they have is Brady. And he is a asterisk because of how Brady was actually treated there.

The whole fluff about McCarthy and scUM "doing it the NFL way!!!" is pretty hilarious in itself. Considering their QB performance overall under Harbaugh. Which is nothing above average.



Also big shock that highly regarded QB recruits want to play in a explosive open offense and not Harbaugh's leather helmet scheme.

The irony is that JJ is JTB lite. They're touting Brady while attempting to take our similar approach with a read-option QB that has (reputedly) high accuracy.
