Is that right? a RB at 270 lbs?!?!?!

Yes, he was a top 10 Rivals/Scout/whatever else Athlete playing RB, DE, and FB in high school, running the 40 in a consistent 4.6 seconds. He's been working at RB so far, but I'm sure he'll get looks at other spots on offense, and defense as well.

UT's Oline is what scares me... they have road graders. Focus on VY all you want, the Oline is the strength in my book.

General question to the board: Hows OU going to sneek into the title game this year? They stole the spot from Auburn last year, and from USC the year before... :tongue2:

They had Melton with the RBs last night, and I am not certain, but I think a lot of schools were recruiting him to play defense, maybe Mack promised him a shot at RB, but we'll see. That 270 lbs. would be nice to pair up with a smaller back in the future.

that is the reason i am not willing to take the #1 ranking away from them. I just think that this season will be a little more interesting for them than the previous two

I agree with this. Even though the Pac-10 is weak and we all subscribe to the theory that a win is a win, you have to wonder when winning all those tight games will catch up with them. It caught up w/us last year against NU and Purdue. As crazy as it sounds, I think USC will lose a game this year, and it will do so in the regular season.

I think USC can run the table again b/c of the weak ass schedule they play, but I think if a team that is not overrated like OU last year, makes it to the championship game, they will lose.

I think if USC played our schedule they would lose 2 games.

PLEASE! And what 2 teams would beat them? They already proved they could spank Michigan?

A 270 lb FB scares the daylights out of me. Bernstein was always the key, in my book, to Wisky's success vs the Bucks. I hated that bastard from Scarsdale, NY (home to many wonderful, obnoxious NYorkers). Bernstein is one of my all-time favorite non-Buckeyes ever. I respect the guy and hated the guy for how he could just punish the second level as the lead, and even up the gut the guy has quicks.

Quick guys at 270 in the two back set are going to guarantee 3 yds a pop and then an opening in the play-action game once the defense decides it's not going to lay down for that anymore.

Call Mack, and tell him this is pure foolishness.

You're looking at this the wrong way. And it's understandable, but ironic, that you want to beef up the perceived superiority of the rival that's been smacking you around the last few years. But here's the thing: even assuming that USC would be most likely to win each individual game if they played OSU's schedule this year (and as of right now, you'd probably have to say that they would be), when you add all eleven of those games up, they'd still most likely not win all of them. Even with their actual schedule, where there are only a couple of opponents with a reasonably legitimate shot to upset them, their chance of running the schedule unbeaten is not much greater than 50%, if that. If you gave them OSU's schedule, with the overall level of competition raised by several notches compared to their actual schedule, they'd most likely drop a game or two along the way.

Our O-line and D-line are what let me sleep easy at night. I've always been a big believer that the key to a team's long-term success throughout a season is their lines and we have the best combination of lines that I can remember at UT. Nothing's been proven on the field yet but man am I glad we've got these lines. Now next year is a different story, our lines could be questionable.

Nope, that rational does not fly on this board !! With your point if OSU were to play ND's schedule then OSU would probably loose a game or 2 more every year as well but no one here would believe that! :biggrin:

Anyway, you dont have to beef up the superiority of the NC of the last 2 years.

OSU, Mich, Iowa, are all Big 10 teams that could have legit shots beating USC regardless of past meetings

Michigan has as much of a shot at beating USC as ND does....
