Also, though not nearly as athletic as Troy Smith, Todd Boeckman is much faster than expected. It's been rumored that he's faster (40-time) than Smith was. The Buckeyes don't use him much on running plays, though.

Smith ran a 4.72 at the combine, I believe (Listed on SI and NFLDraftScout). Boeckman ran a 4.80 when he was recruited. I guess it is possible that he sped up a bit.

He definitely has more power behind his legs than Smith did. Harder to bring down from what I have seen from his running.

I would hope Boeckman has "sped up".. all the conditioning and lifting i think it's more than likely he has gotten faster as opposed to "possible"

I think Smith was a tougher tackle though

The 40 time argument is a non-starter, imo. Troy was always quicker than fast. His ability to elude the rush was his strength (esp early in his career), something Boeckman does not resemble. However, once Todd gets rumbling he can get downfield fast enough.

Hey guys. First post on your forum Most level headed LSU fans (which are perceived to be few and far between) realize last year's game was a fluke as far as the final score and was no indication of how great your team actually was.

As for this year, if anyone of us thinks the results will be , they're in for a rude awakening. I KNOW you guys will be well coached and MOTIVATED. We're generally considered a 2nd half team, but I think we'll need to play all 4 quarters or it's us that may be on the wrong side of a blowout.

Good Luck on 1/7.

i bring a unique perspective to the board since i've split time between ohio and Louisiana. my sister is an ohio state alumni, i go to LSU and so did my dad. needless to say, mom is not happy because she doesnt want to show favoritism. with that said, i have a lot of respect for tOSU becausei know most of the traditions that surround OSU football (hang on sloopy, dotting the i, carmen ohio, mirror lake, etc..) so, i look forward to some great conversations for the next month and hopefully i'll contribute in a unique way.


GEAUX TIGERS!!!

Congrats to the Buckeyes on winning another Big 10 title and earning a spot against us in New Orleans next month.

Looking forward to interacting during the next 5 weeks.

One small favor to ask. Please don't take us to triple overtime. My cardiologist says I've used up my quota. :)
