Wait a minute...

ONE OF OUR LINEBACKERS HAD A DOG NAMED "FANCY?!?!?!?!??!?!?"

What the hell is that all about??


I kid, I kid!!

Had! Fancy would be very old if she were alive today!

Had! Fancy would be very old if she were alive today!

But did you leave Fancy with a beard when you were done?

But did you leave Fancy with a beard when you were done?

Yes as a matter of fact,I did! Fancy was a Bichon Frise!

Great job by Sweat yesterday subbing for Homan!!

I agree, he looked great out there. Was in position, he got bogged down inside on one option play I remember seeing, but he filled in very nicely.

Gonna be a very good one.

No doubt about it. The depth in the front 7 is maybe the best in the JT era.

 

[elliemae]

How about that? He was aewsome out there!

Great job out there yesterday. It always seems that Andrew is the forgotten man when it comes to the fans discussing the LBs, but he showed yesterday that his future is bright.

I've been expecting to see a lot of him since Blake Ayles called him the hardest hitter at the 2007 Under Armour game. I think he's vastly underrated - almost like Brian Rolle was before this year.

Sweat is the Answer: OSU linebacker Ross Homan left the game in the second half with an as-yet undisclosed injury. His replacement was Andrew Sweat. According to OSU defensive coordinator Jim Heacock, Sweat performed very well in his call to action.

"It was critical today," said Heacock of Sweat's performance.

"Andrew has really come on probably the last two weeks.

"He's young and probably hasn't played much but the last two weeks he's really come on and is getting some confidence and making some plays.

"He was really critical on a couple of the sacks because he did a great job of re-routing the receiver. He did a good job."

He played so well that I didn't even notice Homan was out until the third quarter.

#42 was all over the field yesterday...I love it.

 

[elliemae]

I hope they remember him in the upcoming games!

My favorite play was when he got the clean up sack... Rolle kept waving him outside and Sweat didn't really move... then got the sack.
