Darius is a good back, but he will not be a factor in the running game, against our 'D'. Against USC and UT he was held under 100 yards rushing, but was a factor receiving out of the backfield. As for Quinn being better than Young, I'll have to go ahead and disagree with that too. Brady can move, but he does not offer the same kind of threat that Vince did, and will not have the time that we were forced to give Young, by limiting penetration in order to contain him. I don't believe that Brady will be able to step in to a lot of his passes against our front seven. The jump ball will also not be as big of an option against our 'D' because of our big safeties and corners.

if he can't run against 7 guys in the box that are byu-caliber players, he doesn't have a chance against our guys.

I think Walker is a fine RB, but he will be probably the 4th best RB we've faced this year in terms of running back abilities. I agree he is good out of the backfield as a WR.

You might want to watch what we did to Iowa (tate has similar mobility). I would expect a similar strategy against quinn.

Ive watched almost every ND game this year, and im not impressed at all. I will admit that he is best on draws and screens, but as a runner im not impressed. What defenses did he play on his way to 1000 yards?

What defenses has Pittman played to get his 1,000? Against Penn State and Texas, he had a total of 133 yards.
Walker broke 100 seven times this year, one more than Pittman. Four of those 100-yard games were on the road, two of Pittman's were on the road. Walker also has just as many TDs as Pittman does.

I'm not at all bashing Antonio, but to say that Walker hasn't impressed you "at all" (especially in the offense that ND runs) when Pittman's stats are similar is absurd.

Pittman didnt have a bad game against either, against PSU he averaged I believed 3.9 yards a carry, and against Texas he actually played a good game, we just abandoned the run both times. Ive watched them both all year, and Pittman will be the best running back on the field Jan. 2nd. Darius Walker doesnt have the speed and burst to have a good game against our defense.

i just feel brady's numbers are far and a way better than young's other than rushing (but we see how far that gets Vick style quarterbacks)and if you watched the loss to michigan state you saw brady drive his team to what should have been a victory.

Who is the #1 rated QB in passing efficiency this year?

Vince Young. So I don't see how BQ's "numbers are far and a way better". He has more passing yards because he throws more passes. Passing effieciency rating is a much better way to evaluate QB's than passing yards.
