All I mean is more people will get to touch the ball, and with the likes of JC I have a very good feeling about that. I think teams will try to bull rush our young QB's which could be a HUGE mistake . We will devour people with quick slants. Jeven and Colt both have quick releases and are accurate. Pray for DB's when J-Finley gets loose, and he will. I feel sorry for the DB"s who will have to chase our 6-7 diffrent lightning fast receivers all day, plus be ready to try to catch a rocket flying out of the backfield. No, it wont be the same as VY, be it will be plenty scarry.

We'll be sure to remove them from the lists then preseason 
I don't think any logical Ohio State fan thinks Ginn can win the Heisman next year unless he plays better than he did in the Fiesta Bowl for an entire season, so I don't know what exactly it is you are arguing about Ginn and his Heisman campaign. The fact remains, it wasn't Texas that derailed him, it was his play. That isn't knocking Texas, it's just making sure they don't get credit for something they didn't do. |

I sure hope you were never sickened by SC fans (and the media) preaching similar mantras about their offense, because you sound just like them... except they actually had a proven QB.
You're not playing baylor all year long, so you will not 'devour' everyone, and simply outclass and outspeed everyone.
That last post lost all credibility in my book.

What any of that has to do with the '06 game between texas and tosu i have no idea since neither of our teams will field anything close to what SC did in '05....unless you are trying to say that you think tosu will be that good on offense

My original point was tounge and cheek. Since UT was saying we only have 2 WRs and one will be shut down, I though I'd throw out some other pointless information in OSU's defense. Do I really think we will average 6+ yards per carry so we won't need a passing attack? No. Do I really think we will need to suit up extra players since our depleted WR corp (2) will need help catching all the balls on wide open routes? No. Does your defensive showing against USC really mean a hill o beans when we play this year? Not really, but all are as easily justifiable as some of the claims from Texas fans. My point, which was missed I guess, is talk football not smack.
BTW, I do think our offense will be better than you saw last year. Why? Balance. As good as SC 05? No, but we won't be searching for a running game like we were at the beginning of last season. We also (barring some off field incident) won't be searching for a starter at QB. Will we put up enough points to win? That depends on the play of your QB. If he (whoever that may be) has a bad day, the running game alone won't be enough for Texas.

Oh, yes... our slow plodding DBs won't be able to match up to the unquestioned Texas speed at the corners (and that's saying nothing of how our insanely tortise like LBs can only dream of catching Charles)... And, of course, on the other side of the ball, your DBs will have no issues with Ted Ginn and Anthony Gonzalez, who have over in flated 40 times and probably actually never really ran track.
Hey, UTMNC, seriously - did you know that A Gone is actually faster than Ginn?
