He posts under the name RayDog on hornfans.com - and has not issued a prediction for this game.
Now, I ask you, what would you have given for the odds on that silence?

First of all, you didn't answer any of my comparison questions with OSU.

What exactly is your definition of athleticism?

Oregon has a couple guys who run a 4.4 40. Doesn't mean they can run routes like Gonzo or make the same catches that Ginn can.
So because the two of them run 4.4's, it somehow puts them on the same level of athleticism as Ginn & Gonzo? Ginn is probably the best athlete in football. Gonzalez has tremendous speed, body control & has solid strength as well. Strictly from a 40 yd dash standpoint, Ginn & Gonzo are thought to be in the 4.3's (or less, depending on the timer).

How so?
I didn't answer any of your comparison questions? Read my post again.
I was using "a couple players run a 4.4" as an example. You weren't supposed to take it literally. It's like Player X is equally as fast as Player Y but he doesn't catch as many deep passes.
Stewart is better because he's bigger, stronger(this is actually just an assumption. I know Stewart's weight room stats but not Young's), and probably just as fast(ran a 4.34 40 timed by the Oregon coaches).

All you said was they ran 4.4's... that wasn't very conclusive to me. Do they have the same body control, agility, etc as Ginn & Gonzalez? RB is the only position I see where Oregon is on the same level athletically. Your QB is athletic, but I wouldn't put him on the level of Smith athletically. I haven't watched your OL enough to speak conclusively, but I don't remember being impressed the way I am with Boone, Datish & Barton.

I'm not talking about talent. OSU blows Oregon away in terms of talent.
