CB Devon Torrence (official thread)

[buckeyes_rock]

Great game indeed...his coming out party perhaps. Way to go Devon!

i think devon entrenched himself in the linup last night. amos was solid throughout and is certainly capable, but devon looked special out there. im extremely impressed and can't wait to see more of him.

That was a great sack. With his momentum taking him away from the QB, he was able to control his upper body enough to grab the shoulders and pull him down. Very athletic with speed and balance.

What a beast. Seemed like yesterday when he got the offer at camp for putting on a show at CB. Guess the decision to concentrate on football, at least for this year, is really working out.

[Holy Buckeye!]

This kid is a Player!!! Nice Game and welcome to the show!!!! Very impressed with his aggressive and fearless style. I smell big hits and big plays from him to come!

honestly, it's just comfortng we have a legit #1 cb for next year. I'm already comforted knowing with Chimdi's exit, we have a legit #1.

I may be wrong, but I thought they both are juniors.

I think he's saying Chimdi will go Pro and Torrence will stay and be the #1 CB for us next year.

While DT had an AMAZING game I still think the Def POW shoulda gone to Heyward, that dude just dominated the best OL in CFB.

torrence played a good game saturday, hopefully he's that kinda gamer. i think that torrence and amos are just about the 2 best corners on the squad. i just want someone out there who can tackle.

I loved what I saw from Torrence for sure. He really looks the part of a shutdown corner and he really hasn't looked bad on any play that I can remember. Whether he matched up against Ausberry or Williams, he seemed to win the battles. I also like Amos and at this point, I totally agree with a rotation, as I think both are legit.
