I really think the buckeyes have what it takes to win it all this year with the running game and with that young deep defense .We have a great o-line,wr's and a pick of QB'S. gonzo and ginn gone but, we have some nice replacements.No one was crying about santonio holmes being gone last season and I see the same happening these season. |

I was sad but, gonzo and ginn made it like Holmes who.The young wr's might not be G@G but, future stars will get drafted . I can't remember 2 OSU wr's getting drafted in the 1st round like them and probably never will see that. |

Every RB has an unique style. Brandon Saine isn't Reggie Bush, he's not Adrian Peterson, he's not Jim Brown, OJ Simpson or Tyronne Moss. He is Brandon Saine who has yet to prove himself as a college RB. So before we say he's too stiff or not the style RB we need, let's see what he can do at the next level and hope that his speed, unique style and physical ability will define him as another standout worthy of comparison. I am pretty sure Woody would have liked him.

lol ok I guess I asked for it there... Well ok he runs kind of straight up that better guys haha.. Anyways I know he's unique in his own way but if he's running straight up and down against high school kids he'll run that way (at first) against college kids, but I think a year with the staff will help him.
P.s. I want Brandon Saine to move whatever direction gets him into the endzone!! He can go north, south, east, west, backwards, diagnole, or hell I won't even care if he hop scotches his ass past the goal line just so long as he gets there! GO BUCKS |

BTW: That local RB is Aeric Clay (committed to Eastern Michigan) and his coach (Garber) was Dane Sanzenbacher's Offensive coach in 2005, the year Toledo Central Catholic won the state. Last edited by utgrad73; 05-11-2007 at 04:34 PM. |

hmmm... interesting point UTgrad and I totally agree with ya. I think whatever he did in High school won't fly in college, and I also think it'll take him 1/2 years to get things figured out. However, I'd kinda like to see him figure things out in 25 days of camp! I think we'll all have a false sense of hope for Brandon though after he rips off a 65-90 yard run against YSU in week 1!

I wouldnt worry about his running style too much. It's not like he is still standing tall when taking contact, just when he's switching gears and leaving people in his wake. Adrian Peterson. Eric Dickerson. Same type of running style for Brandon. In fact I see alot of Adrian Peterson in his style, which everyone knows worked out pretty well for Oklahoma.
As far as his agility goes, I'm not worried. If he has to juke guys out to get to the hole, ala Lydell Ross, we're in big trouble. What you have to keep in mind is just how fast he gets to the second level of the defense when he gets a crack. He's then making moves on LB'ers and running over DB's. He can also move a pile with his strength. Most of the time when you see runners with Brandon's type of speed they are much more timid or the "scatback" type. Definitely not the case with Brandon Saine. Last edited by Bestbuck36; 05-12-2007 at 03:36 AM. Reason: added. |

Very true... For sure he'll probably roll against half the teams we play this year so 500 yards is not out of the question at all. Ok Fine, Screw it, Saine for Heisman!! Here's hoping to Brandon making me regret ever thinking he might have problems in college!
