I wonder if that offense would start to look a bit like the Badgers this year ... in many of the earlier games this season, they just ran the ball & the O-line gained them 3-4 yards of space to ratchet forward every down.



Of course I don't want our offense to be pure manball, but that sort of reliability would be an excellent foundation to build off of.  Throw some explosive playmakers into the mix, a little bit of Shane, and now you're cooking with goddamn rocket fuel.

This kid could have gone anywhere.  Scout credits him with MSU  and OSU offers and many consildered ND or PSU leaders.  Visits and commits.  This staff is doing a fantastic job.

Unreal.  To think that we have 5 awesome offensive line recruits in this class and that we were probably the leader for several more top O-line prospects.  I get the feeling that we will have a great offensive line for at least as long as Hoke is here.
