Georgia at Oklahoma State Game Thread

In other news, the Cowboys defense still sucks.

Go Bulldawgs

what a tease. OOoooh, almost a great catch.

RotB seems to be crashing Chrome lately, but its the only SBN blog that does it to me.

His contract makes me think Seattle will search for a cheaper replacement.

You can hear the angry mob.

Kendall Hunter

He may be a first-round talent at RB who could declare in ’10. Film on this guy is amazing. Very smooth runner.

This game has not shown it, yet, because nobody seems to be able to block Georgia’s front 7.

I think he is hidden by that otherwise bad OSU defense.

From Walterfootball:

Mike Gundy’s offense runs the ball more than any other team in the Big XII at 64 percent of the time. Tailback Kendall Hunter was second in the nation in yards per carry for all players with a minimum of 200 rushing attempts. Hunter totaled 1,555 yards and 16 touchdowns last season. He is on the smaller side at 5-8, 190, but he is a tough running back with surprising power.

The best pro prospect on this offense is left tackle Russell Okung, whom I was very high on going into the 2008 season. Okung is a big athlete and has outstanding footwork. Robinson will never feel pressure from the blind side because of Okung. Okung is also an underrated threat in terms of his run-blocking ability because of his level of physicality on the line of scrimmage. I would like to see Okung pack on another eight or 10 pounds this offseason to be even more dominant against defensive ends, but he can do that in the NFL as well.

The big star on this offense is Dez Bryant, who many think is the best receiver in the country. Bryant is a big target at 6-2 and he creates mismatches across the middle of the field. Bryant accounted for more than 41 percent of the receptions in this offense and 76 percent of the touchdown receptions. Bryant lacks speed deep for the NFL, but he has a good vertical for jump balls against smaller corners in the Big XII.

all sorts of wild gesticulation

USC is going to crush them.

HAHA

Oklahoma State?

13 rushes for 148 yards.

Really cool seeing him on ESPN because he came from my high school.

Air Force 72 Nicholls State 0

HAHA!!! Even though it’s Nicholls State those blowouts are priceless.

Dude has mad acceleration.

Applause.
The Seahawks just got much, much better, without adding anyone.

So unexpected, which makes it even more awesome.

Celebrate!!

2009 Preseason Walter Camp Player of the Year Candidate

2008 Stats: 241 rushes, 1555 yards, 16 rush TDs, 22 rec, 198 yards, 1 rec TD
2009 Projection: 230 rushes, 1490 yards, 14 rush TDs, 22 rec, 200 yards, 2 rec TDs

Hunter, Dez Bryant and Zac Robinson are one of, if not the best, big three in the nation. The numbers above are very conservative for the 2009 season as the Cowboys have about five backs who will take a few touches, but should keep Hunter fresh. While undersized height-wise, Hunter can pack a punch and is surprisingly strong at the point of attack. Defenders rarely are able to get a clean hit on him unless he is trying to break a tackle. It’s tough to look past his All-Big 12 nine 100-yard games in 2008.

Strengths: Strong inside runner, great one cut runner, best lean & center of gravity runner eligible, good pass blocker
Weaknesses: Undersized, slow to hit 2nd gear in the secondary, hard time turning the corner in traffic
