If David Wilson redshirts the coaches are FOOLS. I LOVE Darren Evans but he is nowhere near as good a player as Wilson is right now; I still don't think he's all the way back from that injury. The only thing Wilson have yet is good vision (obviously this is important for a RB) but he's getting there mentally, and he has both Ryan Williams and Darren Evans beat in every other physical department except quicks/shake. Dude is the fastest player on the team and is a bull to bring down in the open field. He had one run today where he just dragged like 4 of our first team defenders an extra 7 yards at the end of the run, he never goes down easy. What he lacks now in vision he will make up for with his strength and speed.

Idk man. If he is as good as you say he is, he will vault to 2nd team. W/ his lack of vision (Which is probably the most important talent a RB needs) I know he's not going to beat out Ryan. No matter his phyiscal traits, w/o vision and being a straight line runner, no way is he better than/overtaking RW. And if Darren Evans is can make all the right reads and Wilson can't, then he is indeed better than Wilson. And now that I think about it, idk why Wilson his having that much trouble. Is it the initial reads he has trouble w/ or his vision @ the 2nd level? Y'all don't have a zone scheme do y'all? I could see trouble running IZ/OZ but your normal blocking scheme? Ehhhh

We do in fact run a zone blocking scheme, Wilson's HS ran the single wing so there is some adjustment there. When I say his vision needs to improve I don't mean he's completely lacking in that area, but he said yesterday that he's never run at full speed in a game b/c things hadn't slowed down for him enough that he could go all out and read things like he did in HS. He's getting better though; I mean he has had the most yards and highest YPC of all our running backs dating back to Spring scrimmages so he's not a slouch

We have 2 RB's with very good vision in Williams and Evans; if Wilson can get on their level he has the ability to win a Heisman and you can quote me on that.

There's no chance Wilson overtakes RW (who could have won the Heisman last year himself if he had been on an MNC contending team), hell I don't even think he will overtake DE. I just know that he has the highest ceiling of any back on our team. Our RB coach is notorious for always downplaying younger guys and preferring upperclassmen; that's why Darren Evans wasn't the starter at the beginning of 08, Branden Ore was held back, Ryan Williams was humbled in 09 etc etc. But he has been openly raving about Wilson ever since the spring and says if he is the best back he will get some PT.


RB COACH BILLY HITE
ON HOW DIFFICULT SOPHOMORE RB DAVID WILSON IS MAKING IT TO REDSHIRT HIM THIS SEASON: “David is making it very tough right now. He has performed so well out there. Obviously, we’re not going to make that decision until the last minute. I’ve even said that I wouldn’t mind carrying him for a couple weeks to see if something happens to one of (Evans or Williams) and to have him ready to go. David’s performing so well right now it’s unbelievable. He looks like lightning out there on the field.â€

Yea probably.
 
RUNNING BACK POWER RANKINGS

1. Mark Ingram, Alabama (5-10/215, Jr.)
BUZZ: The reigning Heisman winner, Ingram went from solid backup in '08 to bona-fide star in '09. He ran for 1,658 yards and 17 TDs and averaged 6.1 yards per carry. He had at least one run of 20 yards in nine games and at least one of 30 in six games. He had nine 100-yard games and scored at least twice in eight games.

2. Dion Lewis, Pittsburgh (5-8/195, Soph.)
BUZZ: Lewis ran for 1,799 yards last season; that's second-most in school history, behind only Tony Dorsett. He was the Big East's rookie of the year and offensive player of the year.

3. LaMichael James, Oregon (5-9/185, Soph.)
BUZZ: The suspension of LeGarrette Blount opened the door last season for James, a redshirt freshman who was expected to be a backup. He barely played in the first two games, then burst on the scene. He rushed for 1,546 yards and had six 150-yard games.

4. Ryan Williams, Virginia Tech (5-10/211, Soph.)
BUZZ: As with James, another's player travails (an injury to Darren Evans) opened the door for Williams. He responded by rushing for a school-record 1,655 yards and 21 touchdowns. He was fifth in the nation in rushing and tied for fourth in scoring.

5. Jacquizz Rodgers, Oregon State (5-7/191, Jr.)
BUZZ: Despite his lack of size, Rodgers is a tough between-the-tackles runner who also can turn the corner. He ran for 1,440 yards and had 78 receptions last season.

6. John Clay, Wisconsin (6-1/248, Jr.)
BUZZ: Clay is the latest model off the Wisconsin running back assembly line. He ran for 1,517 yards last season and was named the Big Ten's offensive player of the year. Clay had surgery on both ankles in the offseason and has said he's finally feels healthy for the first time as a collegian.

7. Noel Devine, West Virginia (5-8/180, Sr.)
BUZZ: The nation's most explosive player, Devine also has proved - despite his lack of size - that he can run inside, too. Devine rushed for 1,465 yards and 13 TDs last season. He had at least one 20-yard run in 11 games, and he was the only player in the nation to have at least one 70-yard run in four games.

8. Daniel Thomas, Kansas State (6-2/228, Sr.)
BUZZ: Thomas played quarterback and linebacker in high school in tiny Hilliard, Fla., but after transferring in from junior college, he became the focal point of K-State's offense last season. He led the Big 12 with 1,265 yards and had five 100-yard games.

9. Kendall Hunter, Oklahoma State (5-8.197, Sr.)
BUZZ: Hunter was hampered by injuries last season, but he's healthy now and the Cowboys need him to match his 2008 production. That season, he led the Big 12 in rushing with 1,555 yards and rushed for 16 TDs.

10. Bernard Pierce, Temple (6-0/212, Soph.)
BUZZ: Pierce was the main reason the Owls received their first bowl bid since 1979. He rushed for 1,361 yards and a school-record 16 TDs. Those numbers become more impressive when you consider that the Owls' passing attack was atrocious and that, because of injuries, he had four games with seven or fewer carries, including a two-game stretch when he had one carry.

11. Evan Royster, Penn State (6-1/228, Sr.)
BUZZ: Royster topped 200 carries for the first time in his career last season, rushing for 1,168 yards and 16 touchdowns. He's a quick and elusive runner who has averaged more than 6.0 yards per carry in his career. Penn State may rely on him even more as a senior, his first season without a seasoned quarterback.

12. Shane Vereen, California (5-10/204, Jr.)
BUZZ: Cal lacked a 1,000-yard rusher last season for the first time since 2001. Vereen came close, though, with 952 rushing yards and 12 touchdowns. He and Jahvid Best split carries because of Best's injury issues. With Best off to the NFL, Vereen appears to be a lock to join Cal's crowded 1,000-yard club under Jeff Tedford.

13. Montel Harris, Boston College (5-10/200, Jr.)
BUZZ: Boston College dipped into Jacksonville to sign Harris (the Eagles pried him away from ... Duke). He started paying dividends immediately, rushing for a BC freshman-record 900 yards. As a sophomore last season, he was the second-leading rusher in the ACC with 1,457 yards, topping 100 yards in each of the last four games.

14. Donald Buckram, UTEP (5-10/195, Sr.)
BUZZ: Playing on a 4-8 team didn't help Buckram get noticed, but Conference USA defensive coordinators are plenty familiar with his work. He was fourth in the nation in rushing last season with 1,594 yards and 18 touchdowns. He also was a factor in the passing game with 30 catches. His breakout came in a 262-yard, four-touchdown performance in an upset of Houston.

15. DeMarco Murray, Oklahoma (6-1/207, Sr.)
BUZZ: With 45 touchdowns in 36 games, the oft-injured Murray is the nation's active leading scorer excluding kickers. Despite his career accomplishments, he's coming off career-lows in rushing yards (705), rushing touchdowns (eight) and total touchdowns (12). If Murray can stay healthy, he can easily eclipse his numbers from last season.

16. Anthony Allen, Georgia Tech (6-0/229, Sr.)
BUZZ: Allen has waited his time at two schools - Louisville and now Georgia Tech - for his turn. Jonathan Dwyer left school early for the draft, leaving Allen as the primary back in the Yellow Jackets' offense. He's a big back who rushed for 618 yards and averaged 9.7 yards per carry last season.

17. Vai Taua, Nevada (5-10/220, Sr.)
BUZZ: Taua emerged in 2008 after replacing an injured Luke Lippincott. When Lippincott returned last season, Nevada couldn't afford to cut down on Taua's carries - or Lippincott's, or quarterback Colin Kaepernick. The Wolf Pack found room for all three. They became the most prolific trio in NCAA history as the first three backs to each rush for 1,000 yards in the same season. Taua ran for 1,345 yards and 10 TDs last season.

18. Derrick Locke, Kentucky (5-9/190, Sr.)
BUZZ: Locke was a super-sub for the Wildcats in 2007 before playing only seven games because of a knee injury as a sophomore in 2008. Last season, his first as a full-time player, Locke rushed for 907 yards and six touchdowns while catching 31 passes. He's also one of the best kick returners in the SEC.

19. Jordan Todman, Connecticut (5-9/193, Jr.)
BUZZ: Todman and Andre Dixon combined for 2,281 yards and 28 touchdowns last season as both finished in the top five in the Big East in rushing. Todman is the only one to return, but he'll have several young Huskies running backs looking to share carries this season. Randy Edsall likes to run the ball, so Todman - who ran for 1,188 yards and 14 TDs in '09 - should be in for another productive season.

20. Allen Bradford, USC (6-0/235, Sr.)
BUZZ: USC signed a glut of highly touted running backs in 2006 and '07 and has needed just about every one of them. Bradford backed up Joe McKnight last season and still rushed for 668 yards and eight touchdowns. His best moment came against Oregon State, when he rushed for 147 yards and two touchdowns on 15 carries.
 
WIDE RECEIVER POWER RANKINGS

1. Michael Floyd, Notre Dame (6-3/220, Jr.) 
BUZZ: Floyd - an excellent combination of speed, size and athleticism - caught 44 passes for 795 yards and nine touchdowns last season despite playing in just seven games. He has had at least 100 receiving yards in nine of the 18 games he has played and has 16 touchdown catches. Floyd's career average of 84.1 receiving yards per game leads all active FBS players who have appeared in at least 15 games.

2. A.J. Green, Georgia (6-4/212. Jr.) 
BUZZ: He battled injuries last season and still finished with 53 receptions for 808 yards and six touchdowns - leading the Bulldogs in each category. He has 109 career catches, for 1,771 yards and 14 touchdowns. He also had a key blocked kick in last season's victory over Arizona State.

3. Jonathan Baldwin, Pittsburgh (6-5/230, Jr.) 
BUZZ: Baldwin was a touted recruit and began living up to billing last season with some monster stats. He had 1,111 receiving yards and eight TDs last fall on a team that emphasizes the run. He's a big-play threat who has averaged 20.2 yards per catch in two seasons.

4. Ryan Broyles, Oklahoma (5-11/183, Jr.) 
BUZZ: One of the nation's greatest big-play threats, Broyles turned in 23 plays that covered at least 20 yards last season. Despite missing some time with a shoulder injury, he had 1,129 yards and 15 TDs as a receiver; he also ranked third in the nation in punt returns with a 15.9 average. An All-Big 12 selection, he was named MVP of the Sun Bowl after making 13 catches for 156 yards and three TDs.

5. James Rodgers, Oregon State (5-7/188, Sr.) 
BUZZ: At a school that produced Chad Ochocinco and T.J. Houshmandzadeh, Rodgers had a team-record 91 receptions last season, for 1,034 yards and nine TDs. He also rushed for 303 yards and a score. There's more: He had 36 kickoff returns (for 840 yards) and 13 punt returns (for 151 yards). In all, he accounted for 2,328 yards, which was sixth in the nation.

6. Julio Jones, Alabama (6-4/211, Jr.) 
BUZZ: There is no doubting Jones' talent - he has great size, can run and is physical - but you wonder what he could do on a team that truly threw the ball. He battled injuries last season, when he had 43 receptions for 596 yards and four touchdowns, and has 101 catches and eight TDs in his career.

7. Austin Pettis, Boise State (6-3/201, Sr.) 
BUZZ: Pettis, who has great size, good speed and runs crisp routes, has been an important player since he stepped on campus. He had 46 receptions as a true freshman in 2007, 49 as a sophomore and 63 - with 14 TDs - last season. As for his toughness, he suffered a broken leg in late November but returned for the Fiesta Bowl. He has 29 career TD receptions, the most of any current player.

8. DeVier Posey, Ohio State (6-0/200, Jr.) 
BUZZ: He emerged last season as a playmaker, catching 60 passes for 828 yards and eight touchdowns. Posey had eight receptions for 101 yards and a touchdown in Ohio State's Rose Bowl victory over Oregon. He has excellent speed and can physically overpower most cornerbacks.

9. Armon Binns, Cincinnati (6-4/200, Sr.) 
BUZZ: Binns had 61 catches for 888 yards and 11 TDs last season - and that was as the Bearcats' No. 2 receiver. Binns, who has good speed and hands and was an excellent high jumper in high school, is expected to be the go-to receiver for new starting QB Zach Collaros.

10. Keith Smith, Purdue (6-2/226, Sr.) 
BUZZ: No Big Ten player caught more passes (91) for more yards (1,100) last season than Smith, who was recruited as a quarterback, moved to safety and finally settled at wide receiver in 2007. He figures to be the favorite target of new Purdue QB Robert Marve.

11. Alshon Jeffery, South Carolina (6-4/237, Soph.) 
BUZZ: Jeffery had 47 catches for 763 yards and six TDs despite starting just seven games as a true freshman last season. He was the lone SEC freshman in the top 10 in the league in yards and receptions per game. Jeffery is a freakish blend of size and speed.

12. DeAndre Brown, Southern Miss (6-6/239, Jr.) 
BUZZ: Brown wasn't healthy last season, but he still has 114 career receptions for 1,902 yards (16.7 avg.) and 21 TDs. His size and strength make him a matchup nightmare, and he has OK speed, too. He has six 100-yard games and five multiple-TD games in his career. He needs to play with more focus and consistency.

13. Dwayne Harris, East Carolina (6-0/205, Sr.) 
BUZZ: Harris is coming off an 83-catch season, and that was in former coach Skip Holtz's rather staid attack. This season, with an offense patterned after the one Mike Leach ran at Texas Tech, Harris could have a monster season. He has good size and great speed, which serves him well as a return man. Harris had three kickoff returns for TDs last season, when he averaged 27.0 yards per return.

14. Terrance Toliver, LSU (6-5/206, Sr.) 
BUZZ: Toliver had by far the best season of his career in 2009, with 53 receptions for 735 yards but just three TDs. He has 85 career receptions, but LSU has been saddled with less-than-stellar quarterback play. With Brandon LaFell gone to the NFL, Toliver will be LSU's go-to receiver this fall.

15. T.Y. Hilton, Florida International (5-10/175, Jr.) 
BUZZ: Hilton has rather modest stats, but keep in mind that FIU's quarterback play has been ... well, it hasn't been good. Hilton has 98 career catches for 1,645 yards and 12 TDs, including two vs. Rutgers last season. He also has thrown a TD pass, rushed for two TDs, returned one punt for a score and returned two kickoffs for TDs in his career, including one against Alabama last season.

16. Greg Childs, Arkansas (6-3/217, Jr.) 
BUZZ: Childs emerged as QB Ryan Mallett's favorite receiver and one of the country's top big-play threats in '09. He averaged 18.7 yards on 48 catches and had seven touchdown grabs. Childs had five games in which he averaged more than 20 yards per catch and was especially effective against Georgia, Florida and LSU, with more than 100 receiving yards in each of those games.

17. Vincent Brown, San Diego State (6-0/195, Sr.) 
BUZZ: As if 45 catches for 778 yards and six touchdowns weren't impressive enough, understand that Brown's '09 stats were compiled in just seven games. He hadn't gotten a catch in the Aztecs' seventh game before suffering a season-ending thumb injury. Before the injury, he'd exceeded 100 receiving yards in five games and had 85 yards in the other one. With a healed thumb, Brown is a bona-fide contender for All-America honors.

18. James Cleveland, Houston (6-2/205, Sr.) 
BUZZ: A junior college transfer, Cleveland made a major splash in '09 by earning All-Conference USA honors and being named the league's top newcomer. He had 104 catches for 1,214 yards to rank among the nation's top eight in both categories. He did that despite missing two games with an ankle injury. Cleveland had more than 10 catches in five games, including 19 for 241 yards and three touchdowns against East Carolina in the C-USA championship game.

19. Jermaine Kearse, Washington (6-2/205, Jr.) 
BUZZ: The explosive Kearse established himself as a big-play threat during a breakout sophomore season. He led the Huskies with 50 receptions for a 17.3 average and eight touchdowns. Half of his touchdown receptions covered at least 34 yards, and he had at least one catch for 30 yards in eight games.

20. Titus Young, Boise State (5-11/170, Sr.) 
BUZZ: A reliable, productive receiver with sure hands and good speed, Young is dangerous as a receiver and kick returner. Last season, he had at least six catches in eight games en route to amassing 79 receptions for 1,041 yards and 10 touchdowns. Young exceeded 100 receiving yards five times and had 92 in another.

21. Leonard Hankerson, Miami (6-3/205, Sr.) 
BUZZ: The best player in a deep Miami receiving corps, Hankerson caught 45 passes for 801 yards and six touchdowns last season to lead the Hurricanes in all three categories. The big-threat caught a pass of at least 20 yards in 12 of Miami's 13 games last season, and he had a reception of at least 30 yards in eight games.

22. Greg Salas, Hawaii (6-2/210, Sr.) 
BUZZ: Salas is the latest in a long line of prolific Hawaii receivers. He caught 106 passes for 1,590 yards and eight touchdowns last season while ranking fourth in the nation in receiving yards per game (122.3) and sixth in catches per game (8.15). He set a school single-game record with 16 catches against New Mexico State.

23. Jerrel Jernigan, Troy (5-9/190, Sr.) 
BUZZ: Few receivers in the country were as hot as Jernigan late last season. He caught 20 passes for 443 yards in Troy's final three games to finish the season with 71 receptions for 1,101 yards and four touchdowns. He earned first-team All-Sun Belt honors as a receiver and all-purpose player last year and made the second team as a kick returner. He has 178 career receptions, the most of any current player.

24. Ronald Johnson, USC (6-0/185, Sr.) 
BUZZ: This ranking is based more on Johnson's potential than his production thus far, but keep in mind that he missed the first five games of the 2009 season with a broken collarbone. He caught at least five passes in each of USC's final four games last season to finish the season with 34 receptions for 378 yards. He will be the Trojans' go-to guy this fall.

25. Tandon Doss, Indiana (6-3/195, Jr.) 
BUZZ: Doss caught 77 passes for 962 yards and five touchdowns last season to earn first-team All-Big Ten honors from the league's media. He ranked second in the Big Ten in receiving yards per game and finished third in catches per game. More than one-third of his receiving yards came after he made the catch.

http://TIGHT END POWER RANKINGS

1. Kyle Rudolph, Notre Dame (6-6/265, Jr.) 
BUZZ: A rare combination of size, speed and strength, Rudolph should be a great fit for the new offense being installed by Brian Kelly. Rudolph has caught 62 passes for 704 yards and five TDs in his career. He may match those totals this season.

2. Lance Kendricks, Wisconsin (6-4/241, Sr.) 
BUZZ: He arrived in Madison as a wide receiver but has morphed into a tight end. Kendricks was at his best in the victory over Miami in the 2009 Champs Bowl, grabbing seven passes for 128 yards with a career-long 37-yard catch. He finished last season with 29 receptions for 356 yards and three scores, and should be a much bigger part of the offense this season.

3. George Bryan, N.C. State (6-5/265, Jr.) 
BUZZ: He was a first-team All-ACC pick last season after pacing conference tight ends in receptions with 40. Bryan ranks fourth among active ACC players in career touchdown catches with nine. The bruising Bryan also has developed into a strong blocker.

4. Luke Stocker, Tennessee (6-6/253, Sr.) 
BUZZ: Few tight ends possess his combination of blocking ability and hands, reminding some of former Vols great Jason Witten. Stocker, who enters his third season as a starter, finished 2009 with 29 catches for 389 yards and five touchdowns. He enjoyed his best game in the finale vs. Kentucky, making five grabs for 78 yards and a score.

5. Jeffrey Anderson, UAB (6-3/255, Sr.) 
BUZZ: The athletic Anderson has caught at least one pass in 23 of his past 24 games and enters 2010 with 64 career catches for 982 yards and nine TDs, averaging 15.3 yards per catch. Anderson ranked second on the Blazers with 26 receptions for 398 yards with five scores in 2009.

6. .J. Williams, Arkansas (6-2/251, Sr.) 
BUZZ: Williams considered turning pro but opted to return for his senior season. Already a standout with his hands, Williams made a concerted effort to block better in the spring and made big improvement. He caught 32 passes for 411 yards in 2009. Williams enters this season as Arkansas' active leader in career receptions (98), receiving yards (1,228) and games played (38).

7. Daniel Hardy, Idaho (6-4/242, Sr.) 
BUZZ: A native of Anchorage, Alaska, Hardy was Idaho's second-leading receiver last season with 39 catches for 691 yards and three touchdowns despite missing a game. He enters his third season as a regular after redshirting in 2006 and serving on the scout team in 2007. Hardy became a regular in the rotation in 2008, making nine catches for 128 yards and two scores before his breakout in 2009.

8. Zack Pianalto, UNC (6-4/250, Sr.) 
BUZZ: He's known for his sticky hands, and he has bulked up to become a better blocker. But Pianalto must avoid the injuries that have forced him to miss portions of the past two seasons. He grabbed a career-high 33 passes for 334 yards and a touchdown in 2009. The 33 receptions was a school single-season record for a tight end.

9. Drake Dunsmore, Northwestern (6-3/235, Jr.) 
BUZZ: The Wildcats use the multi-talented Dunsmore as a "Superback," often putting him in motion like an H-back. Dunsmore is a sharp route runner with excellent ball skills who has added weight and gotten stronger. He ranked second in catches among Big Ten tight ends last season with 47, enjoying a breakout 2009 after suffering a season-ending knee injury on the fifth day of preseason drills in 2008.

10. Charlie Gantt, Michigan State (6-5/260, Sr.) 
BUZZ: Entering his third season as a starter, Gantt is a strong blocker who has the athletic ability to get downfield and make the catch. He enters 2010 with 41 career catches for 650 yards and six touchdowns in what is a tight end-friendly offense.

11. Lee Smith, Marshall (6-6/ 267, Sr.) 
BUZZ: Smith signed with Tennessee out of high school but quickly transferred to Marshall. He shared time the past two seasons with Cody Slate, with the Herd often using two-tight end alignments. Smith is a bruising blocker but is developing into a legitimate receiver; he had 23 catches for 335 yards last season and has 37 in his career, though none have gone for touchdowns.

12. Ladarius Green, Louisiana-Lafayette (6-6/230, Jr.) 
BUZZ: Green missed four games with a neck injury but still led the Ragin' Cajuns in receiving yards with 533, on 32 receptions; he scored three times. He had 22 receptions, with five going for scores, as a freshman backup in 2008. Green has above-average speed for a tight end and is effective in the middle of the field.

13. Alston Umuolo, San Diego State (6-4/250, Sr.) 
BUZZ: He emerged as a reliable receiving threat last season, coach Brady Hoke's first with the Aztecs. Umuolo had 22 receptions for 243 yards and three TDs, and is an effective complement for the Aztecs' top-notch wide receiver duo of Vincent Brown and DeMarco Sampson.

14. Virgil Green, Nevada (6-5/240, Sr.) 
BUZZ: Green is coming off a 23-catch season; those receptions went for 260 yards and five TDs. He had one stretch last season in which he caught a scoring pass in four consecutive games.

15. Ben Guidugli, Cincinnati (6-1/230, Sr.) 
BUZZ: The brother of former Cincinnati QB Gino Guidugli, Ben is entering his third season as the Bearcats' starting tight end. He had 27 receptions for 364 yards and three TDs last season.

what Rose bowl did you watch? that was proably his best game of his ohio state career. expect for that stupid INT he was money that game.

He ran the ball well but his terrible mechanics make it hard for him to throw an out route on a rope to the opposite sideline. That is an NFL throw. Just because he had a good game running the ball against a terrible D. What Rose Bowl did you watch where you saw a TP that showed "NFL QB" in it?
Austin White got booted from Michigan. Kid is a screwup just like his brothers. Those kids think they are Gods gift to the world. They are, in reality, mediocre football players.

People need to stop bagging on the fact that BSU is not in the SEC which is top heavy and everyone knows Florida never even attempts to prove itself outside of the SEC. At least Texas man's up and schedules some games OOC

Those are all good points and I've always ragged on Florida for their !%*%# OOC scheduling, but you guys can't really get on anybody about their schedule

I know you scheduled Oregon and us OOC the past couple years, but beyond that your whole schedule is a complete cake walk. You guys are a great team but Florida would have also gone undefeated the past few years had they played your schedule, and not by 7 points against Tulsa or 10 points against Louisiana Tech. Florida would molly whop those teams.

One of the things I admire about you guys is that you execute so well that you can play with the big boys even though you might not have the same talent level (obviously guys like Pettis, Young, Avery etc. are very talented but top to bottom you do not have the same talent level as a Florida or a Texas). That being said, good coaching and execution will only get you so far, look at what Florida did to Cincy last year (who I would argue was a team with fairly similar make up to Boise). I'm not saying that Florida is going to be definitively better than you next year, but rather that you can't underestimate how much of an impact the talent level has. You guys are definitely capable of beating a lot of good teams, but I really don't think you'd be able to make it through an SEC schedule the way Florida or Bama do. Is that a function of program history, school size, conference etc? Yes, but looking at it from a neutral standpoint that doesn't change the fact that those teams can often "out talent" other schools. That's what happened to us when we played LSU in 2007, we just got straight up out talented, especially in the trenches.

Lucky for you guys, we are not one of those teams that has those deep talent bases at almost every position, so we won't be able to out talent you and your high level of execution could pose a big problem for us. I still think we will pull it out though.

I believe TP will play like VY did his Jr. year. The kid is just TOO talented man. Tressell & that staff has got to make some better strides this season to help him utilize his gifts more. I believe if he plays anything like VY did in 2006 that they'll make it to the BCS title game.


Btw, Shoelace Robinson looks great (No ayo) Cannot wait for the season!
 
Stop trying to buzz up Boise State bro. If Boise went into Griffin stadium...hahaha Them Gators would literally eat them smurfs alive. I don't mind Boise being ranked ahead of them in the pre-season poll because they deserve so but no way in hell do i believe they can beat the Gators.
