BCS teams for next year--Now turned into a PSU discussion

[Coach]

I'll accept that...

One thing is for sure, I question our actual "on field speed" back there in terms of athleticism. I know they are obviously fast, but they just don't seem like the same breed of athlete as some of these receivers that can flat out burn.

WVU should be good again next year no doubt about it. I think they are Gator Bowl or better again...They have the specialists, and their young line got a year older after last year. I don't know about their defense though. Losing Grant hurts, and I don't think the Dline matches up all that well vs. teams with good Olines.

Coach 4.3 or 4.4 isnt burning plus they are 6'4 no one can match up with them. Oline has everyone has coming back and the dline has everyone but blueford who missed the second half of the season with an ACL. Losing wiley does hurt, but we have a kid name joe sykes that is a juco offered by oklahoma and he just wanted to play asap so he signed here, what a speciman about 6'4 265 runs about 4.5, he is gonna be like a rush end on passing downs like stills should be a stud.

:arrowu: sounds like derek wake

[thepalerider]

he is a little taller than wake but wake was a stud, that big being that quick. he was one of the few guys i liked for psu.

[Coach]

Wake is back and maybe playing the down rush position off the end....

[AUSTIN_22:22]

you can also mark wake down for at least 3 blocked kicks this season. the guy must have wings. i remember one photo in SI a few years ago where he was blocking a kick and his feet were above the offensive lineman's head.

if he can play strong against he run, i think he could be all-big ten with the speed he has coming off the end. him and tamba hali are formitable bookends on the d-line. their interior line is a wait and hope it is better than last year situation.
