Yeah, that's exactly who I want to face. Let's look at numbers against mentally competent mobile QBs lately, shall we? Juice Williams, Vince Young reincarnation against you guys be damned, is not mentally competent.

Oregon's Dennis Dixon (39-7 loss) 16-25, 292 yards, 3 TD, 0 INT, 16 carries, 76 yards, 1 TD
Appalachian State's Armanti Edwards (34-32 loss) 17-23, 227 yards, 3 TD, 2 INT, 17 carries, 62 yards, 1 TD
Ohio State's Troy Smith (42-39 loss) 29-41, 316 yards, 4 TD, 1 INT, 4 carries, 12 yards, 762 gray hairs for me screaming at the LBs to contain.
Ohio State's Troy Smith (25-21 loss) 27-37, 300 yards, 1 TD, 0 INT, 11 carries, 37 yards, 1 TD
Texas' Vince Young (38-37 loss) 16-28, 180 yards, 1 TD, 1 INT, 21 carries, 192 yards, 4 TD
Ohio State's Troy Smith: 13-23, 241 yards, 2 TD, 0 INT, 18 carries, 145 yards, 1 TD

Etc.....You get the point. It's well-documented. So yes, I would LOVE to face a guy with Vince Young's size and running ability, Dennis Dixon's speed, Troy Smith's leadership and throwing abilities and Armanti Edwards' elusiveness...

I'm gonna go cry now...

You just got me pumped up!

Only a week? Drats, I was thinking you said a month. It was fun while it lasted.

Accident sidelines Jeannette starters
Hall cousins OK, shaken up after car crash
Thursday, November 29, 2007
By Colin Dunlap, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
The WPIAL champion Jeannette football team could be without two essential players when it faces unbeaten Karns City in a PIAA Class AA quarterfinal at 1 p.m. Saturday at Clarion University.
On their way home from practice Monday night, starting running back Jordan Hall and his cousin, starting center Chris Hall, were involved in an automobile accident in Jeannette, according to Jeannette football coach Ray Reitz.
Reitz said the Halls were "knocked around pretty good but it wasn't a big, major accident or anything."
Reitz did not want to elaborate on the specific injuries to the Halls, but did acknowledge that one, or both, could miss Saturday's game.

Pryor in the spotlight as PIAA playoffs set to begin
By Paul Schofield
TRIBUNE-REVIEW
Thursday, November 29, 2007


Jeannette's Terrelle Pryor has faced a variety of distractions, as the Jayhawks prepare for a PIAA Class AA quarterfinal game against Karns City (12-0) at 1 p.m. Saturday at Clarion University.
During school hours and after practice Wednesday, Pryor, arguably the nation's No. 1 high school recruit, went through a series of photo sessions with freelance photographer Robert Clark, who was shooting Pryor for an article in ESPN The Magazine.

He had another photo session last week with a different publication, and he met with college coaches earlier this week.

Penn State coaches Tom Bradley and Jay Paterno were at McKee Stadium in Jeannette on Monday and Ohio State assistant coach Joe Daniels was there Tuesday. Internet bloggers reported about the Penn State and Ohio State visits minutes after the coaches left.

The word is, Rodriguez?s staff was hoping to get an official visit from Jeannette, Pa., quarterback Terrelle Pryor, the nation?s No. 1 recruit, this Saturday. But that won?t happen. After the standout helped the Jayhawks crush Beaver Falls by 61-12 in the Western Pennsylvania Class AA playoffs, his team is moving toward a possible Pennsylvania title. (Whispers, though, are the Mountaineers are doing fine in their efforts with the QB, thank you very much for asking.)

West Virginia?s coaches will, however, be entertaining the dynamic Gateway, Pa., duo of Cam Saddler and Shayne Hale.

The Charleston Gazette is in for a rude awakening...and not just when it comes to Pryor. Further proof why major newspaper recruiting info is usually inaccurate/outdated...

Whispers?? Oh noes!

Pryor says he's not set to make college choice
Friday, November 30, 2007
By Mike White, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
I'm rooting for Oklahoma to win this weekend because that might mean Ohio State and West Virginia would play for the national championship.
Ohio State and West Virginia are two of my top schools, and a game between them would be interesting. If it came off, I really wouldn't root for either team because I usually don't root for a team when I watch college games.
I made an official visit to Ohio State a few weeks ago [for the Wisconsin game]. It was fun. I hung out with the players a lot, most of the time just in the dorms.
? Jeannette High School quarterback/defensive back Terrelle Pryor is ranked the No. 1 player in the country by several scouting services and is being recruited by colleges nationwide. Throughout the season and until he makes a college decision, the Post-Gazette will periodically run a diary from Pryor, as told to sports writer Mike White.

The "walk-through" before the game was crazy. What they do is maybe an hour before the game, the players walk through this long street and then through this old basketball arena where all the fans are and where the band has a pep rally. I was in front of the team. As we were walking through the arena, the students were all chanting my name.

I'm not saying I'm not going to Penn State, but their offense is a little concern. They're a little inconsistent offensively.
I wish West Virginia's offense threw more. I like their offense a lot, but I just wish they threw a little more.

[OSUBucks22]

There have been some whispers about Tennessee being our main competition here... David Cutcliffe is the reason that Pryor is very interested in UT. Here's the good news: Cutcliffe is the front-runner for the Duke job right now and mentioned for some others out there, so he may not even be there...
