86708, Oklahoma vs. Florida State
Posted by will_5198, Sun Sep-12-10 07:19 PM
WR Ryan Broyles, Oklahoma (5'11, 175) -- Undersized for a number one receiver and won't break any tackles. Nice hands, return skills, his routes are solid, and he gets great separation thanks to his burst. The double move touchdown was gorgeous.

RB DeMarco Murray, Oklahoma (6'1, 214) -- Profiles as a third down back, thanks to his excellent receiving skills. Catches passes in stride and extended from his body. One cut runner with average vision. Weak lower body and goes down on contact too easily. Long injury history.

LB Travis Lewis, Oklahoma (6'2, 232) -- Physical (maybe too much so) and instinctive in pass coverage, and patrols the hashes well. Built like an oversized safety, which can be a bit disadvantageous on run plays, especially if he gets caught sliding around blocks too much.

DE Jeremy Beal, Oklahoma (6'3, 261) -- Didn't stand out. Agile in space and is hard to cut. Wasn't in the backfield much, but I suppose the Oklahoma coaches wanted a more conservative rush because of Ponder's running ability.

FS Quinton Carter, Oklahoma (6'1, 195) -- His big problem was not attacking the ball-carrier. He waited to make the tackle instead of crashing down, which lets better players simply outrun him to the corner (Jermaine Thomas had a lengthy run by doing just that). Not powerfully built and I didn't get a great look at his coverage skills.

QB Landry Jones, Oklahoma (6'4, 219) -- Nothing to see here. Great protection, he threw five yard passes against horrible coverage and watched his receivers break tackles.

OG Rodney Hudson, Florida State (6'2, 288) -- This guy is a fucking beast! Manhandled whoever lined up against him and barely moved from the line of scrimmage in pass protection. Did an excellent job of sliding off double team blocks and annihilating some poor linebacker on run plays.

QB Christian Ponder, Florida State (6'2, 219) -- Basically flung shit everywhere. Even when he had a clean pocket, he'd force passes into impossible coverage. His receivers suck (my favorite was when they ran a jailbreak screen and the intended receiver broke into a full sprint downfield) but there was nothing about this performance that suggested a NFL future.
