Of course, everyone knows Penn State sucks. This year Oregon State rules! It is about time I started rooting for the team that has Benny The Beaver as a mascot. I fear those Southern Cal BASTICHES will three-peat and Bush will win Heisman.

Root for the Hawkeyes. Sean Considine throws Michigan players around. Could it get any better?
I submit that it can not!
How many "stars" does Penn State really have right now?
Apparently it's not Williams or King, so that's good news. It's not Connor, though he's on probation for prank calls. Speculation is that it could be Austin Scott....

Thats a reason why im rooting for them this year, Considine was a beast. Plus Hodge, Greenway, and Tate are beasts.
Whatever. A good running back at PSU is nothing without an OL. A bad one is something with one.

Yeah I had to watch that instead of the Birds last night. There was a crowd of about 100 SC alum at the bar I was at, I guess the bandwagon has started now that Spurrier is there.
If Spurrier can turn Duke into a winner he should be able to make SC a good team as well. Maybe not this year, but it'll happen.
Don't start riding Spurrier yet, he beat UCF-----they went 0-11 last season.
Believe me I'm not riding Spurrier. I'm just saying that he will make them into something because on the college level that's what he's always done.

- ND looked great against Pitt. Either Weiss already has that offense tuned up or Pitt sucks ass. Probably somewhere in between.
- Next weeks Michigan/ND game should be awesome. Michigans offense looks pretty good, but their defense could be in trouble. They came up with some great turnover plays, but got run over a bit. Cant wait to see that game.

Saw Leinhart on Saturday when SC was here to play(dismantle)Hawaii. Didn't realize he was so big. Guy has a good arm - no question. Reggie Bush is an animal - he put on 20 lbs. of muscle over the off-season. SC is loaded. They had a freshman WR #1 Patrick Turner- ironically built just like Mike Williams - who is going to be something special.
The Hawaii crowd was wild as the warriors kept Leinhart off the field until just over one minute left in the first quarter. Two long drives - one ending in an int return for TD, the other turning over on downs.
Did get to see Booty, Leinhart's heir apparent in the fourth. He looked good as well.

FSU beat those queers from the "U" tonight 10-7.
An ugly game for both offenses but the FSU defense was stifling sacking the Miami quarterback nine times.
I thoroughly enjoyed watching them smack that little bitch in the mouth over and over.
:-D
I enjoyed that game.
FSU's QB does suck, but he just needs to get some game tim eunder his belt. If he doesn't improve ol' Bobby will yank him out for that Lee dude.
I like watching The U lose. Shove it, Irvin.
I hate both those schools, but hate Miami more. Good to seem 'em lose.
[Anal retentive]There is no "h" in Leinart.[/anal] :-*
I saw Xavier Lee play several times in high school. The kid is the real deal. A phenomenal athlete with a cannon for an arm.
I thought Bowden should have turned the reigns over to him based on what I saw after the first quarter tonight but Bobby's a stubborn old redneck.
Meh - whatever, they won and that's all that counts.
PS: Still laughing at the looks on Miami's players faces after the game was over. Thugs, criminals and bitches, all of 'em.

what a great weekend of college football! The top 10 certainly shook up.
- ND kicked Michigan around for most of the game. Chad Henne had his worst performance that I've seen so far and Mike Hart got injured. Their defense stepped it up late, but it was too late. ND looks darn good.
- Anyone else catch Adrien Pettersons run? basically ran over 3 guys on his way to a TD. Awesome. Guess he is back in the heisman running. ;)
- Iowa St kicked Iowa's ass all over the place.
- Texas/Ohio st. What a game. That one felt like a championship game. Ohio St couldnt get TD's in the red zone and it killed them. Their LB's are insane though. AJ Hawk is a super stud. College football needs more awesome games like this early in the season. Im glad to hear that they are playing this game again next year.
- Anyone catch the LSU/Arizone ST game late? What an ending. Late in the fourth quarter its 4th and long and LSU throws a bomb for a TD to go up. Then they hold Arizona st on the final drive. What a win.
Indeed it was, MURP. Great day yesterday for college ball.
That UT-OSU game was fargin awesome. Sweed's TD catch was sweet. Vince Young is going to be a stud. They'll be back in the Rose Bowl this year vs. USC.
Did you see that catch by the dude for Alabama? :o
LSU-ASU game was great too.
Game of the weekend goes to Wisconsin-Temple. Great all the way around.
I liked Temples negative rushing yards.
If I was a top high school player I would sign with Temple. Best football program ever.

Wait, are you serious?
I don't get the hype for this dude. He's not a good passer at all. He consistently throws flat-footed. In the OSU game I saw him step into one throw. ONE. Everything else was flat-footed, or back-footed, or on the run. On top of that, he is incapable of making it through all of his reads. With most of the pass plays in the UT offense, there are at least three checkdowns before he should have to bolt. Rarely does he even get TO the second read, let alone through it to the third.
The announcers in the game sucked off Young for that winning TD pass in the front corner of the endzone, and I'm still wondering why. The WR was behind BOTH DBs and had a full 10 yds of clear endzone, so what does Young do? He flat-foots it and lofts this soft little quail between DBs not smart enough to turn the farg around and into the arms of a WR who has to slow down, twist around, and fall into the endzone on his back. It was a poor throw, regardless of the outcome.
I think he's a great athlete, but not a very good QB.

Yeah I thought Palko was a Heisman candidate? :-D
Temple had a shot to win today, but lost to some school called Western Michigan. They can't win until their last game of the year at Navy. And thats probably a stretch. I, for one, am rooting for an embarassing no win season so Wallace will be canned and I dont know, maybe theyll scrap the football program and focus on basketall.
in other news. Overrated Michigan lost again and Louisville was destroyed. a little shake up there. USC was stunned in the 1st quarter and then turned it on to dominate once again. Purdue lost in OT to a tough Minn. team. Maroney had 33 carries early in the 3rd! Ohio st crushed Iowa. Looks like they should take the big 10 easily. Vtech impaled GTech. Nobody thought it would be that much of a blowout. Maybe Mexico Jr is the real deal. Notre Dame won easily and keeps up their solid season. Michigan St was underrated this year, but blew out a pathetic team in Illionois. Georgia played a poor game but still won.
I don't know about OSU winning the Big 10 easily, Iowa was extremely overrated this season. Their defensive line took a major hit this year through players leaving so even though they have the talent at LB they are getting blown up at the point of attack. Minnesota, Purdue, and MSU should provide a challenge to OSU.
I am absolutey stunned that Louisville lost I was kind of rooting for them this season.

QuoteIowa professor gets death threat for criticizing pink locker room
IOWA CITY, Iowa - Some will look at it as another indication of the decline of Western civilization: death threats over the pink paint in a locker room.
Advertisment
First, some background for those out of step with interior design in sports. Soft pink hues were added to the visiting locker room at Iowa's Kinnick Stadium by former coach Hayden Fry in the late 1970s. Fry believed the color had a calming effect on people.
As part of a new $88 million remodeling job at the stadium, designers retained that color motif, splashing pink across the walls, carpet, showers, sinks, metal lockers and even the urinals.
Last week, an Iowa law school professor received death threats after criticizing the university for using pink paint. The professor, now joined by others across campus, says using pink demeans women and perpetuates negative stereotypes of women and homosexuality.
Football coach Kirk Ferentz distanced himself from the controversy.
"I mean this with all due respect, but it's not really on my laundry list right now," said Ferentz, whose Hawkeyes fell to 2-2 after losing to Ohio State last weekend. "I've got other things that have moved in front of it."

Bobby Wallace will not return next year to coach Temple, but hes gonna finish out this year. Sign Lou Holtz or someone with a proven track record of having some sort of minor success, cause the program is at absolute rock bottom. Like no one goes. Some of us are talkin bout goin to the Miami game, but I doubt we bother.
Rick Neuhesiel is being mentioned.
Maybe you can join his NCAA hoops pool if he's hired? Or maybe he'll teach Temple how to thug it up like the Ravens do.
Maybe he'll work a way to get Boller more eligibility in NCAA. McGann or whatever his name is better.
No he's not. McGann blows. Everyone on that team blows. They are a disgrace.

Tragedy hits Penn football team
By Mike Jensen and Natalie Pompilio
Inquirer Staff Writers
Kyle Ambrogi, a senior running back on the University of Pennsylvania football team, committed suicide on Monday, Penn spokeswoman Lori Doyle said yesterday.
Doyle said Ambrogi was not on campus at the time of his death.
"The Penn football family is deeply saddened today with the news of the sudden death of one of our shining lights, senior Kyle Ambrogi," coach Al Bagnoli said in a statement. "Kyle was a remarkable young man, a true scholar/athlete, an ambassador for Penn, a tremendous teammate and leader on and off the field, as well as a caring and outstanding brother.
"His loss will be felt for a long time. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family during this time."
Ambrogi scored two touchdowns in Saturday's 53-7 victory over Bucknell. His younger brother, Gregory, is a sophomore at Penn and a defensive back on the team. He also scored a touchdown in Saturday's game.
A St. Joseph's Prep graduate from Havertown, Ambrogi, 21, was the Catholic League's co-most valuable player in 2001 and The Inquirer's player of the year. As a senior, he ran for 1,672 yards and scored 21 touchdowns for the league champions.
He was enrolled in Penn's Wharton School with a concentration in finance.
The Delaware County Coroner's Office said it was not releasing any information about Ambrogi's death.
When a call was made to the family's Havertown home, a woman who identified herself as Mrs. Ambrogi said the death was a family matter and had no further comment.
"Everybody here is reeling from this," said Doyle, a vice president for communications at Penn. "The players are devastated. The coaches are reeling. It's just a very tragic situation."
She said the university was working on plans to honor Ambrogi.
A 5-foot-11, 210-pound backup running back who gained 231 yards on 64 carries in 2004, Ambrogi was the recipient of the St. Joseph's Prep alumni award in 2002. He played in all four of the Quakers' games this season and had 54 yards on 21 carries with three touchdowns.
For his college career, Ambrogi rushed for 381 yards on 89 tries with six touchdowns.
In high school, he was a student-council representative and a winner of the National Latin Exam Silver Award.
"The [athletic] department is working with the many support services that exist at Penn, including the Office of the Chaplain, the Vice Provost for University Life, Counseling and Psychological Services, among others, to lend support to Kyle's friends and teammates, who are devastated by his untimely passing," athletic director Steve Bilsky said in a statement. "All of us share the grief expressed by Coach Bagnoli and offer condolences to the Ambrogi family."
Players from La Salle High School, the Prep's biggest Catholic League rival, heard the news about Ambrogi yesterday from Tex Flannery, the longtime Explorers head coach who now serves as an assistant to Joe Colistra.
Flannery had gone to the school to inform his grandson, Don Connors, who plays for La Salle. An older grandson, John Connors, played for the Prep and was a teammate of Ambrogi's while there.
"The Connors and Ambrogi families are close friends," Colistra said. "After Tex told us what happened, we talked for a while. Then we gathered the team after practice for a prayer.
"Kyle was a great competitor, a classy kid who ran all over us [when he played for the Prep]."
Colistra said he told his players that he had no explanation for the tragedy.
"I told them to look around and recognize that we have each other to lean on," he said. "My heart goes out to the Ambrogi family."
Funeral arrangements are pending.

I placed a small wager for Saturday... a 4-team parlay.
Alabama -13.5 at Ole Miss
Texas -17 vs. Colorado
Penn State +3.5 at Michigan
Notre Dame +11 vs. USC
I only put down $10 on it. But if I get lucky I win $100.
you have to win all 4 games to win anything?
Yeah. That's why I only put $10 on it. If I lose, its only ten bucks. But if I win, then I made a hundred. Low risk high reward. :D
may the force be with you. except in the penn st game.
I am amazed at the number of people on here who don't know anything about gambling. That doesn't mean I have a problem so stop judging me.
:-D
I think they've got a shot. I hope so at least.
I'm just pissed that both the Nits & ND are on at 3:30. Yo..move one to 7:30!

Texas will not beat Colorado by more than 17. This will be their "wake up" game, but they'll win anyway.
Notre Dame is going to win that game outright. USC is due for a tumble. :deion
I agree with FF about Texas, though. Giving 17 against Colorado's too much.
Good luck on the parlay, Phreak!
What a great two games to watch today (PSU-MICH & ND-USC)...
USC got lucky tht the ball was knocked out of Leinart's hands on the run to the sideline. If it isn't knocked out - The Irish win.
They beat up Leinart and he showed some balls to audible out of one play and into a deep ball n 4th down that he completed for 64 yards to set up the GW score.
I still wanted USC to lose. I'm tired of hearing about them.
But it looks like it will be a USC-TEXAS Rose Bowl. Hook 'em Horns!
By the way...Free Shoes U. has a WR named Fagg. Wonder if he got teased alot when he wa syoung?
YEAAAAA WEIS!! :-D
[bitter]The Irish got jobbed, plain and simple.
The ball should have been spotted at the 4 yard line where the ball went out of bounds, not the 2 fargin inch line.
Typical bullshtein when it comes to the golden boys of college football. I hope their farging plane goes down in a fiery heap on the way back to Los fargeles.[/bitter]

It didn't fly out at the 4 cocko...it went out where it was spotted...it just 'looked' like it went out at the 4 or whatever you said.
Blah, blah, blah, SC should have lost whatever...scoreboard equals win. It was great to see all those Irish fans get on the field thinking they had the win and then losing.
It is great to be great. The Irish suck. Bring on the suckier Washington. 8)
I will say ND played a hell of a game. It was another classic turned in by those two teams. Weis is no doubt the reason for the team's success. I'm just curious as to how Leinhart's replacement is going to do after he's gone next season.
Texas now #1 in the BCS poll. :yay
The BCS is still a joke of a system, but HOOK 'EM HORNS!!
how is that possible? numbers are dumb.
No clue.
But they're ten-thousandths of a point ahead.

Edit: Nevermind, found it. Texas is eight thousandths ahead of USC, by the way.
PSU is now #9, since Texas Tech fell way down.

Proof again that the BCS stands for something, something shtein!
farg the BCS.
Hey hoser...
Texas is going to whup your laid back USC pansy asses.
Texas is the better team.
Regardless of who the "better" team is, USC hasn't lost in forever and until they get knocked off I don't think anyone should be ranked ahead of them.
texas and usc are just lucky that mike mcgann didnt get the entire year to unleash his super skills. go owls.
Texas can get their #1 spot, but USC will crush them when they play.

I'm sure they thank their lucky stars every single day that they don't have Temple on their schedule this year. How did they both manage to dodge the same bullet?
temple just knew they would beat them, so they didnt bother. not enough time to beat all the teams.
the whole #1 #2 doesnt matter. If they both go undefeated they will play for the championship. If one of them loses in the regular season they are screwed anyway.
back where we belong. temple returns to #1 on espn.com bottom 10 list. it was an injustice that they pumped us up to #3 last week simply because miami didnt win by 150.
These Temple updates are truly riveting.
its what matters
If Temple didn't have one of the ugliest, most crime-ridden campuses around, they might be able to get the occasional decent recruit. Unfortunately, Fishtown is a complete hole, so it doesn't matter that they play their home games at the Linc. They really should get knocked down to division 1-AA.

my intial reaction to techs unis was that i was horrified...but the more i watched the better they looked...i liked them
the u is goin throwback this weekend.....

lol.....spurrier owns fulmer...he talked shtein all week and back it up with south carolina...wow...i loved earlier in the week when they asked if he thought sc could go into tenn and win....he said 'well i did it with duke?!?!
i guess tenn isnt beating nd now
Florida also has some new ugly uni's.
Tayhaas was getting their asses handed to them by OSU last night and then just put the whoop on em in the 2nd half. Vince Young made some amazing plays.
0-9!
Florida also has some new ugly uni's
it must be a new nike thing...i thought they looked dope when va tech rocked them thurs nite...but yes floridas looked hideous
Thats what I though too...had to be a Nike thing. I didn't dig VaTech's nor did I like Floridas.
I like seeing Tennessee lose. Fullmer strikes me as a pompous icehole for some reason.
Spurrier is a clown, but his best line ever might be when he said "You can't spell Citrus without UT" when he was in Florida.
PS - Texas scared me there for awhile. 28 points to a horrible OkState team? Thurman Thomas must've pumped the Cowboys up because they suck.
I actually thought before the game that OSU might pull off an upset. Texas went into the game as the new #1 team so you know whatever team they play first is going to really bring it to them. Along with the fact that it's a rival team playing on their field during homecoming made it the perfect recipe for an upset. Well, almost perfect except for the whole lack of an upset thing. But other than that it was perfect.
the announcer during the florida game straight up said they were wearing it as a marketing thing so people would go buy em. I would wear that shtein if it was free.

TMQ:
QuoteBCS Showdown Omens: It was Texas 48, Baylor 0 in the fourth quarter -- yet Texas star Vince Young was still on the field and heaving passes as the Longhorns ran up the score in an incredible display of bad sportsmanship. In California, Matt Leinart was comfortably seated on the bench when the fourth quarter began with USC leading Stanford 44-14. The football gods remember bad sportsmanship, and exact revenge; Texas is setting itself up for a hubris-induced collapse when it meets USC.
Texas is awful about that. Downright stupid.
On ESPN, Rutgers and Louisville game. 3rd quarter total yards, Louisville 214, Rutgers 6.
OSU vs. Michigan game was excellent...Eagles could use Anthony Gonzales as #3 wdieout IMO 8)

Too bad College Football doesn't have a draft.
I've only lost 1 game so far today. Iowa whupped up on Minnesota.
I need PSU, Miami, LSU, South Carolina & USC tonight.
Ha! "The U" got farged! My God, I hate that school and that football team so much. Va. Tech needs to beat North Carolina to get to the ACC Championship Game.
GO HOKIES[/size]
let it be stated how proud i am of my temple owls. 0-11. hooray.
I don't know why, but I'm watching the Texas v. Texas A&M game right now. And motherfarger, there is a dog barking in the audio feed. Somehere in that stadium near a mic there is a farging dog barking. Jesus Christ, you amateurs! Shut that thing up.
Colorado just has to beat Nebraska at home to win the North....but they're choking...
Texas will win the national championship.
What just happened with the Colorado fans that caused a stoppage? ???
Quote from: BigEd76 on November 25, 2005, 06:41:09 PM
What just happened with the Colorado fans that caused a stoppage? ???
They were throwing FULL bottles of water onto the field.
On ESPN right now: Maryland/NC State. Keep an eye on #9 Mario Williams, a 6'7" DE....
Mario Williams is a farging beast. I wonder if he'll leave early, and if so, how long he'll last.
I can't really see the Eagles using a 1st rounder on a DE, though... not with Cole emerging as a quality player. Too many other positions where it will be more important to add top-level talent. Then again, you never know... They do like to rotate the guys up front, and Kalu's contract is up. They almost have to assume McDougle will do nothing and any contribution from him would be a pleasant surprise...
So, in conclusion... GET MARIO WILLIAMS!
What did he have today? 4 sacks?
Kiwanuka
Williams
Hali

Dumervil
Some good DEs out there this year.

Alot of depth too, alot of good guys are going to be there in the later rounds.
Anyone see the Fresno St./Nevada game? For as good as Pinenger has looked this year he makes some stupid decisions. USC lat week and key int. late tonight. Great game though with Nevada Reno winning 38-35.

Texas creaming Colorado (no shocker there). USC really only has to come within a TD or so of beating UCLA to set the national championship game. Even if they lose in a close one, no one would leap-frog them.
USC 3
UCLA 0
Leinhart was 0-5 on that drive. :yay :evil

Except then they were undefeated and Nebraska was given a National Championship basically because Tom Osborne had never had one :boo [I'm still bitter]
I just have one thing to say...
Girls who attend the University of Central Florida and who also attend championship games at the Citrus Bowl in Orlando are generous with beer, giving of themselves in a homeopathic way (backrubs are <them> apparently) and are among the best drivers ever to go from a stadium to a satellite lot ever.
That is all...

One other thing... FSU is takng Virginia Tech to the farging woodshed...
And that is hott!

Man, Tey-has and USC both broke out the whooping sticks today. The BCS was 1 second away from being a total disaster yet again.

NFL prospects to watch:
BC = QB Quinton Porter...ILB Brian Toal**
Porter isn't even our starter anymore...he started off the season nicely but was injured in the our 3rd game vs. FSU, was never really the same after that and was replaced the 10th game of the season by Penn Charter grad Matt Ryan (sophomore and IMO a definite future NFL prospect). BC's fans had been calling for Ryan to get the start since the 7th game of the season vs. Wake Forest, when Porter had an absolute atrocious game (almost as bad as McMahon on Monday night), got the hook in favor of Ryan with BC down 30-21 with 2:30 left in the ballgame, and Ryan stormed down the field twice to win 35-30. Needless to say, of course, our stubborn-ass coach Tom O'Brien left Porter in at starter the next 2 games, Va Tech we probably wouldn't have won anyway but Porter also remained in until the very end of the game against UNC which directly led to a 16-14 loss (16-7 before Ryan engineered another late-game TD drive), despite our defense not giving up a single TD the entire game (UNC ran back the opening kickoff). Ryan finally started the last 2 games and beat NC State 30-10 and 31-16 on the road. Given that both those teams are better than UNC there's little doubt in my mind that had Ryan started in Chapel Hill we'd have blown them out, played in the ACC Championship game, and even with a loss to Va Tech would be getting ready for a trip to Atlanta to play LSU instead of farging Boise to play Boise State. Sorry, rant over. But yeah, Porter isn't getting anywhere near the NFL.
Toal is also a future 1st-round draft pick, spectacular WLB with decent size (may need to bulk up a bit) and great speed, hard hitter and has a knack for making big plays. He's also been used as a short-yardage RB this season, has 21 carries for 50 yards and 6 TDs. However he's questionable for the bowl game after suffering a shoulder nerve injury vs. NC State. He's a sophomore and I expect him to stay at BC for all 4 years unless we have an absolutely spectacular season next year.
Kiwi is Kiwi and will likely go top 8, could even be the first defensive player drafted, and I wrote about Trueblood and Blackmon in the "Draft pick tracker" thread in the Eagles forum.

Idiots.
Michigan got screwed in that game, it is pretty bad when Herbstreit is saying how bad the officiating is for Michigan.
I thought the officiating was pretty equally bad for both teams. The only thing that really sucked was that Michigan had to burn 2 TOs just to get the officials to do their job.
Michigan has gotten a ridiculous amount of calls over the years. Who cares if they got jobbed last night. Lloyd Carr is a bitch and he deserves it.

Eh, on the final play both squads were coming on the field. A wash at best.
how do we even know the guy who made the tackle was on the field when the play started
The good news is that ESPN fixed their headline.
Oregon whined about not being included in the BCS, then goes out and loses to a crappy Oklahoma team. Good job. :yay
From what I saw of Ngata, I wasn't too impressed. Definitely wouldn't trade into the top 10 for him, but if he falls to #13 or #14 and the DEs are gone? I'd think about it...
Minnesota/Virginia is on ESPN now. A good chance to see D'Brickashaw Ferguson, Laurence Maroney and Greg Eslinger....

QuoteUSC stocks up
Insider
By Tom Luginbill
Scouts Inc.
I had been looking forward to the U.S. Army All-American Bowl all week, and the game showed a few things, namely some dominant defensive frontline players and some quarterbacks and receivers who needed more practice to work on their timing. Those things are common in football all-star games on all levels.
Here's my take on the verbal commitments that happened during the game.
ESPN 150 RB Emmanuel Moody verbally committed to USC
I've talked about DeMarco Murray being a Reggie Bush-type back, well, so is Emmanuel Moody. I've referred to him as a "jackrabbit in cleats," and as with most USC running backs, the versatility in the passing game is key -- it's a big part of the Trojans' offense.
ESPN 150 ILB Brandon Spikes verbally committed to Florida
In the mold of former Florida LB Channing Crowder, he has the size and physical style to hold up against the run yet still possesses the athleticism to make plays on the perimeter. This only bolsters an already strong Florida class that is mostly offensive-oriented, meaning the Gators are happy to get some more defensive help.
ESPN 150 CB Jai Eugene verbally committed to Michigan
Here's the secondary help everybody is clamoring for on the Wolverines. He might be the player in this class who has to make the biggest adjustment. He'll be making the move from quarterback/cornerback to full-time corner. He also might be the one guy with enough football instincts and athleticism to pull it off. He potentially could be a shutdown, man-to-man corner. He pairs well with Steve Brown, regardless of whether Brown moves to safety.
DT Joseph Faifili verbally committed to Utah
Utah always has done a great job of recruiting the islands for Samoan and Polynesian players. If Faifili doesn't end up staying on defense, he could move to the offensive side of the ball as a center. We'll have a full scouting report on him early next week.
ESPN 150 DT Derrick Hill verbally committed to California
He is a stocky, one-gap penetrator who could develop in a couple of years and become a competent run stopper with added weight. Hill becomes Cal's top recruit on either side of the ball.
OG Matt Carufel verbally committed to Notre Dame
He's a blue-collar, yard-dog type who will fight you to the whistle. He has the versatility to play multiple positions. He might not be the athlete others in this class are, but Carufel makes up for it with his solid play. He's the Irish's fifth offensive line commitment.
ESPN 150 DE Maurice Evans and ESPN 150 CB A.J. Wallace verbally committed to Penn State
As we said in our blog, Evans is a great fit at Penn State. The Nittany Lions lack depth at defensive end, and with Evans' talent and ability to rush the passer, he can play right away. He also showed in this game why Craig Haubert has been touting him for so long.
As for Wallace, not only does he have the skills to be a premier cover corner but he has the size to move back to safety and the offensive ball skills to contribute in the kicking game. I know Myron Rolle will be disappointed with Wallace's decision -- he was recruiting him hard to Florida State.
ESPN 150 DE Robert Rose verbally committed to Ohio State
Rose really stood out this week in practice and continued to excel during the game. He was a mismatch all week and has all the physical tools you look for in a defensive end.
ESPN 150 WR Terrance Austin verbally committed to UCLA
Austin is going to be an excellent slot receiver and returner in the kicking game. He's quicker than he is fast, but he knows how to separate.
ILB Jarrell Miller verbally committed to North Carolina
Miller played both ways in the All-American Bowl, playing linebacker on defense and fullback on offense. Miller is an upside guy at this stage and might be a little bit of a late bloomer. Redshirting certainly would benefit him.
ESPN 150 OT Butch Lewis and ESPN 150 OLB Allen Bradford verbally committed to USC
As we've said before, the value of a recruiting class should be predicated upon need and filling holes. When you get closer to signing day, you can make some preliminary assumptions and rankings on the recruiting classes, and USC certainly is filling needs on defense. With Taylor Mays, Antwine Perez and Bradford, USC is putting together quite a defensive class. Lewis will fit in nicely on an offensive line that will be blocking for some good talent.
ESPN 150 DeMarco Murray verbally committed to Oklahoma
Oklahoma continues to quietly put together a very good class, and Murray makes it that much better. He's ESPN's No. 1 RB for a reason, and that's because he's fast, explosive and dangerous every time he touches the ball. People will be very surprised to know he could also play defense at the college level.
ESPN 150 WR David Ausberry verbally committed to USC
Looks as though USC came away from the All-American Bowl in pretty good shape. We've been saying for months that the Trojans would get their share of the top players, and they did. Ausberry fits the mold of a big, physical USC receiver. He might not run quite as well as last year's top receiver prospect, Patrick Turner, but he's every bit the physical presence.

I hope you're kidding. If the team with the #1 pick already says they want you, before you've even declared to come out, plus you just won the heisman, not to mention 2 national championships, it would be the stupidest move in the history of college ball. And if you are kidding, never mind.
