General CFB — 06 January 2009

1.  Colt McCoy is the Heisman front runner for next season, regardless of who comes back.

2.  Did anyone else get the sense that Ohio State’s use of Boeckman and Pryor at the same time was Jim Tressel’s way of responding to criticism that he never does anything creative on offense?  I did.

3.  Terrelle Pryor is going to be a monster next year. When he runs, he is so much like Vince Young, it’s scary.

4.  How much will Chris Well’s lack of durability affect his draft status?  If I’m an NFL GM, I’m not sure I pick him, even though he’s a great back.  Like Carnell Williams, he is just a tightly-wound guy who is always hurt.

5.  We’ve seen the rise of the spread offense.  Next up is the rise of the spread defense, as coaches find ways to slow down the spread.  However, offenses are countering by going even smaller and quicker, recruiting tons of waterbugs (guys 5-8 and below) to play running back and wide receiver.

  1. No love for Masoli after his stellar performance his last two games?

  2. How about the fact that Pryor is also OSU’s best goal line receiving threat? Kid showed some skills in the jump ball game. Didn’t even need fly-paper gloves either.

  3. Pryor will be a threat, but not to overlook any teams but they better be prepared for USC. If Pryor wins that game that will carry us through the season. I do believe Tressel should hire a offensive coordinator to at least mix it up a little bit. He was very creative in the second half against Texas, but his conservatism has made him look more predictable. As a coach he needs to evolve and become more aggressive. I’m sure Tressel and Pryor will learn alot from each other.
