Scout $ - Sweat sets five officials

Ohio State 9/6, Virginia Tech 9/20, Georgia 10/4, Florida State 10/18, Oregon 11/1.

Here are the opponents for each of his officials:
Virginia Tech versus Georgia Tech
Georgia versus Vanderbilt
FSU versus ND
Oregon versus Stanford

Here is my analysis/hope:

tOSU versus VT should cause the 'Shoe to rock.

Georgia Tech and Vanderbilt will cause the home fans to fall asleep.

Stanford will upset Oregon again (because the program will go down hill after Kelly left). Also, Oregon has never had a great defense.

I have no particular answer for FSU versus ND. That one is what it is. It will be hyped. FSU will win.

Oregon doesn't seem like a real player from what I've seen, so really a 4 team race. Obviously that could change but it would be surprising. FSU is the wildcard IMO. If he gets over the distance factor I could see that. He seemed to really enjoy that visit, but I keep hearing how distance is a major factor for him, and if that holds true I don't see it being FSU. Georgia and OSU are both roughly the same distance, but I think I saw that he grew up a fan of UGA. Then you got the hometown VT, but in terms of distance they themselves are still a decently far drive for him. There are 2 good things about our visit: 1) a lot of high caliber recruits on campus that game including a couple from his area I believe, and 2) it's against VT so if we were to beat up on them it would only help.

Can't say this strong enough. Add him to the current 2015 class of defensive players (along with players already enrolled) and you have a NC caliber defense. No question about it. Add him with just one of Baker, Galimore, Beckner, Roundtree, DeBerry or Wilkins and it gets downright embarrassing. Sweat takes a great class and makes it elite. We are in the running for this to happen. What else could we possibly ask for? The only thing we need now is for the play on the field to do the talking. If this defense takes a big step forward and people are talking up the remarkable one season turn around and the impact of Ash and LJsr it would have to make an impression on the big names on our board. Even guys like RDS making a big impact in his NFL debut doesn't hurt. Imagine if we have guys like Bennett and Spence being hyped for top picks in next years draft? Call me overly optimistic by I think we have a fighters chance on Sweat and the other top guys mentioned. We just need it all to come together.

Distance is probably being overexaggerated a little, except in the case of Oregon.
VT 5hrs
OSU 8+hrs
UGA 9+hrs
FSU 11+hrs

I highly doubt that FSU is out of the mix if distance was such a big factor. FSU will be in it until the end along with OSU, IMO. But that's just my guess. For all I know he loves VT and UGA, but regardless his family is still driving over 8 hours if they want to see him play for a contender. And over 5 to see him play for a middle of the road team, not exactly like going from Westerville to Cbus or even Cincy to Cbus

Ok yea I knew the VT distance was pretty far. Thought FSU would be further but I guess not.

I don't think words can do his performance justice. All I can say is what everyone says about this kid: a FREAK!

Stat line: 5tkls 2sacks 3tfl(from DE and LB), blocked kick
90total yds 1td and threw a pass
Oh yeah, and he's the punter
