Mid - Year reassessment
Wow, we had our hopes way up there in August and despite the Texas loss we saw ways to get to Pasedena.
Time to re-assess the season. Here are some things I think: 1. Troy Smith is more Stanley Jackson and less Vince Young than I thought. 2. We still don't have running game or a complete package back. 3. Our defense should sue for non-support. 4. How do you win an NC with the 2002 team and can't get a sniff of the Rose Bowl with this team? 5. Michigan, Purdue, Oklahoma are having bad years too. (and yeah, with this talent I consider this a bad year) 6. Penn State, Notre Dame, UCLA and Virginia Tech continue to amaze me. 7. This year's Big 10 stinks. The league is little better than the ACC and with Miami and Florida State now in the ACC maybe not as good at the top as the ACC. 8. We keeping running down USC and they keep on scoring 42 points a game. 9. If we don't get some help from USC and Tenn we're in big recruiting trouble with ND. We need to be at or near the top of the Region to keep ND recruiting from getting the areas blue chippers.

No. I think AP is the real deal. If we had a real QB and could, for once, not run a predictable play he would explode. And my last name is NOT Pittman.  |

I am serious I am not sure what games I watch but holy cow Pittman is getting us yards every time he touches the ball. What do people want? His YPC is really really good. I am not sure what he finished with but he was right around 4.0 YPC vs Penn State. He has been a bright spot in this horribly executed offense IMO.

Pittmans fine, we just need a good back-up to step up...
Schnittker does not have the talent to be our second string running back...

Yes, a good solid back up. Mr. Haw, please step up!
No more running the option with Schnittker! |
