If I were a High School quarterback, hypothetically lets say, from Pennsylvania, I'd take off running about 1 minute into my visit to this school, er,uh, impending train-wreck, just "north" of the border.
Let's break this down, scUM loses its best OL from a unit that gave up, what? 35 sacks against the Buckeyes this year (ask Henne, he'll agree with the #). They lose their top three offensive weapons in Hart, Mario, and Arrington that put up a whopping 91 yards in total offense against the Buckeyes. Looks like a pretty tough decision to me. No one to block for me, no one to hand off to, no one to pass to. Screw It!! I'm going to TOSU!! I've always wanted to anyway!!
And as far as scUM goes, the QB job isn't something you sign on for. It's something you should be "sentenced" to.  |

Personally I think he projects well for the NFL. He's 6'2" 220. His bulk will help him get off bump coverage by the NFL DBs, where thinner guys like Hardy and Manningham might struggle. He was also in the top 5 in the nation in return yards and averaged 30 yards a return. His TDs took a pretty good hit to Michigan State's strength in the run game and Hoyer's inconsistancy. I think Manninghams numbers were hurt as well with Henne's inconsistancy. But both still averaged about 16 yards per catch. I personally don't think he'll be a number 1 reciever but he'll be a great number 2. |

Ghoston, Mendenhall, Manningham, all three should contribute nicely. I think Ghoston will go first, mostly because the early teams in the draft need d-linemen and linebackers, Mendenhall should make a nice dent where ever he goes, good runningbacks are hard to find and you can start them young, and manningham will take a year or two to develop, but he should be a nice player in the long run.

The 4 best receivers in the league all leaving. The best non-Beanie RB in the league leaving. The best non-Buckeye CB in the league leaving.
Ohio State may set a record for the number of All-Big-Ten players from one team next year.

REPORTER: As great as everybody loves the tradition of the game being the last game of the year, do you foresee the possibility, with all the changes in college football right now, that eventually the Big Ten might have to go to two divisions and have a championship game?
TRESSEL: Not by Saturday. So, I don't know, I don't give it any thought.

Michigan is going to miss Manningham and Arrington both. That leaves us very thin at WR.
