86860, Orange Bowl: Stanford vs. Virginia Tech

QB Andrew Luck, Stanford (6'4, 235) -- Listen, I realize that a bunch of annoying dopes who know shit about college football or NFL drafting (Peter King, white radio host X) are jumping on this hype train. Don't fight it! This man is as polished as quarterback prospects get -- I've detailed all the reasons in previous posts. The Orange Bowl was his last college coronation before a path to NFL stardom.

Please get out all your hate right now, lest you end up being one of those "Peyton Manning is not that great" types.

OLB Chase Thomas, Stanford (6'4, 239) -- He's only a junior, but who knows what will happen if Harbaugh leaves. A much better player near the line of scrimmage: quick and powerful hands, and he sets the edge well against the run. Some limited pass rush ability, mostly through persistence and against bad teams. Lumbering in coverage and can't chase down athletic players in space. He also had inconsistent effort from series to series (a white linebacker coasting? IMA TYPE ABOUT IT).
