But college football is less predictable than tomorrow's weather. So, take some solace in that. Bummer on the predictions. But college football is less predictable than tomorrow’s weather.

Washington) should be playing more than they are. But it was good to see Posey in the game on the game-winning drive at Wisconsin. With all due respect to Robo and Hartline, I think OSU's young WRs will offer more in the coming seasons. It won't hurt that by that time, Pryor will probably be a more polished passer.

Heacock would rather send this program tumbling into the depths of Nebraska, Florida State, and Miami than do any of that "aggressive" stuff.

HEALTHY, would be the key word and he just hasn't been able to show that he can stay healthy throughtout the year. If I am a GM I'd want the kid on my team, but he's still a gamble and I don't know if I could really build a franchise around him based on the fact that I don't know how much he'll give me every year. See Peterson in the NFL - When he plays he is the best pure RB in the league, but with the amount of games he misses it will make it tough for the Vikings to build around him alone. I have a question about our D... A lot of people have thrown around us running a 3-4. I would agree with most that it wouldn't work because we don't have 3 powerful run stoppers it would take to make that scheme work, but why don't we run more stunts? If we can't beat them 1-on-1, wouldn't stunts allow us try and beat O-Lines on technique? Just a thought... Kyle… I would agree with you, that when HEALTHY he is the best player in college football.

I think by the end of the year his numbers will be something like 18 TD - 10 Ints. - Pryor will rush for at least 6 or 7 more touchdowns and 300+ more yards. - We lose ugly at Illinois, but put up a few points and a lot of yards in doing so. - Beanie will break 1000 yards by the Illinois game
