"Orange Colored Glasses- Ohio"

first of all i want to say that im sorry i didnt put out a top 25 this week, but with all of the upsets, and a busy week for me, im gonna give it another day to let some more dust settle. auburn, cal, oklahoma, miami, lsu, georgia will all have big tests this weekend. but looking back...
the good news: well once again we were able to run the ball quite well. im telling ya i like our backs a lot. hardesty runs really hard and brown could be the next big thing. the both always seem to fall forward which is a good thing- and so far- knock on wood- theyve been able to hang on to the ball. oline played pretty well, when we needed to run we did and when we tried to throw it wasnt because of a lack of protection that we didnt do well. it seemed like the lanetrain wanted us to come out throwing and see what we could do against a better D than wku and we forced some, and basically when it came down to it we ran all over them when we needed it most. nobody has been able to tell me why hardesty didnt play much in the first half....
the bad news: by the end of the game we were down 5 starters on D. the bobcats constantly picked on brent vinson. crompton was...well..himself. and we gave up td return on a kickoff! dang! i remember watching it thinking surely someone will get in his lane...and nope. he just housed it.
auburn prediction- well. who knows. we need our D to play like they did against florida. we need to run like we have all year. im not so sure that auburn has a lot of quality wins in their 4, but then again neither do we. and they average 45pts a game. i think that we will be able to slow them down, but im not sure that we will be able to score. seems to be a trend huh? crompton and chris todd will make 3-5 plays that will cost their team dearly, but will either make 1 or 2 plays to help their team win? im saying a daniel lincoln fg wins it late. 24-21 big orange!
