She's an Iowa State fan (fan/grad) - she had a good weekend. And she didn't say the second part, just the "diarrhea of the hands" part, which was amusing. I added the second part with editorial license.

I mention it because she reads these boards sometimes and will yell at me for making her sound stupid.

Impressive watching his ability to get open. I think he's good at finding the ball in the air. Good in and out of his breaks. There are still some timing issues, but that will be taken care of with more practice time. The only thing he could consider to do is catch the ball with his hands more, and strengthen the hands. He's going to be a good one.

Great game by Devier... wanted to post a few pics to document how great the coverage was on the incompletions near the endzone.

Based on how Sparty got hosed by the refs to allow Iowa to remain unbeaten, this helmet-first hit should have resulted in a personal foul on the Gopher defender. :roll1:

(Sarcasm, of course.) Oh, and great photo montage, Josh.

Posey shows he can throw it, too
Saturday, October 31, 2009

THE COLUMBUS DISPATCH

Who knew Ohio State receiver DeVier Posey was left-handed?

"I didn't, until we ran that play in practice for the first time last week," tight end Jake Ballard said.

Now everyone, including upcoming Big Ten opponents, knows it. "That play" was a reverse option pass by Posey yesterday. He hit Dane Sanzenbacher for a 39-yard touchdown in the second quarter on the way to a 45-0 win over nonconference foe New Mexico State.

One might think the play would be something to keep in the repertoire for this week's game at Penn State or beyond, but coach Jim Tressel said it was put in especially for this game. He and the coaches had scouted the way the Aggies reacted to a similar formation -- the bunch of three receivers to the right with a handoff to the running back to that side -- in an earlier game and thought the reverse pass would work.

But after quarterback Terrelle Pryor took the snap and tossed the ball to the right to running back Daniel Herron, who then flipped it to Posey on the reverse, Posey was supposed to throw it back to Pryor. Posey said the defense took that option away.

"It's really not drawn up to go to me; I'm the outlet guy," said Sanzenbacher, who had caught a TD pass from Pryor moments earlier. "DeVier had been saying all week he was going to go to me. And I said, 'Yeah, we'll see.' He didn't do it one time in practice."

Seeing, however, is believing. The ball dropped in over defender Alphonso Powell, who had decent coverage. Sanzenbacher pulled it in with his right hand.

"I had to come down with it if (Posey) showed the confidence in me," Sanzenbacher said.

Then, when he watched the replay on the stadium's big video screen, Posey "looked like a little quarterback back there," Sanzenbacher said. "He took three hitches and then threw it down there. That was impressive."

Such poise should not have been unexpected.

"I played quarterback all the way up to high school," said Posey, a sophomore from Cincinnati LaSalle. "Then freshman year they moved me to receiver (but) I always act like a quarterback and guys say I can't throw and stuff like that. I always play around like that."
