    How can you pick this game before you know who our rb is?

    What do people think about TW running in the 4th quarter? Were the training wheels coming off? Did we just not trust the 4th string RB? Was Troy ticked at Zona for something and wanted to force them into submission? Really, are we planning on running Troy more often now? I hope we aren't. I don't think he's great at it, and I don't want to put him at risk.

    I hated putting Huntley in that game. Why mess with an offense that is moving the ball? On the other hand, I really hope we can pull away against OSU and give Huntley some snaps late.
    I had 2002 Marty Johnson flashbacks when we kept running TW at the end of the game. Thought that was a huge mistake. A friend said TW was chirping with some AZ DB during those runs.

    It reminds me of 2004, when Gordon Monson kept writing that we were crazy running Alex Smith so much because an injury would ruin our season. I assume TW was running because or rb's were injured, but I think KW or somebody said we are going to run him more.

    Ahhhhhhh!!! I was just equated with Gordon Monson!!! Time for me to crawl under my desk in the fetal position and cry.

    Well have someone step up. Better pick before the good scores are taken, or you can pick us to win by two, since we won't have a running game.

    Utah 33; OSU 30, and yes, TW needs to be more involved in the ground game, but not in the 4th quarter when the game is already decided. Yikes.

    I will be pleasantly surprised if we score 30 in this game. I believe that this will be the kind of game where Whit grabs a lead and holds on for dear life. I expect Victor Boldin to make a big play early to give the Beaves some momentum, but as the game winds on, we will wear them down.

    Well, because he thought it was good sport. Because some men aren't looking for anything logical, like money. They can't be bought, bullied, reasoned, or negotiated with. Some men just want to watch the world burn.
