SI's midseason AA's

[crazybuckfan40]

Hawk is the only buckeye. I don't think the lb from Texas should be on there. He didnt impress me very much. I think Greenway or Hodge are better than him.

[great1]

Its funny that Dion Byrum is on there.

 

[OilerBuck]

Jad Dean is the gay looking Clemson football uniform model that everyone made fun of.

Gay LOOKING? Oh, he's gay alright.

[RugbyBuck]

Anyone else notice that the two AA wide receivers are white?

 

[Onebuckfan]

I see Chris Morris, MSU center on there. Will Osu even have 1 All big 10 O-lineman. Thats where the O's trouble start.

 

[DCBuckFan]

you mean this guy?

 

[Bucktastic]

Its funny that Dion Byrum is on there.

The one return was an absolute gift in OT against PITT...

 

[High Lonesome]

I don't think the lb from Texas should be on there

I disagree, respectfully

 

[scooter1369]

Where are Greenway and Hodge?

 

[crazybuckfan40]

I disagree, respectfully

No problem I was just saying from what I saw in the game against us I didnt think he was all-american caliber. Is he good 2nd team yeah, but just not first team. it really isnt any big deal tho considering it is only half way through the year.

 

[scarletngrey11]

DL: Elvis Dumervil
Sr., Louisville
Dominating pass-rusher has 15 sacks, seven forced fumbles.

That is just a amazing, wow... I think that Will Smith had like 10.5 sacks during his last year...

 

[High Lonesome]

That is a truely amazing stat, 7 ff and 15 sacks is a good year for anyone and a spectacular half year

man you guys are spoiled by your lb play. 10 takles and a sack for a MLB, againts the #4 team in the nation running a spread offense is pretty good for me. I will agree that he makes his plays quietly and is not as flashy as many top LB's but i don't think top 4 in the nation so far this year is out of the question.

That said he isn't aj, who had 12 tackles, 1 ff, 1 fr, 2 sacks and 1 int returned for over 20 yards. That is called stepping up
