This is what I dont get. Its not like the middle of the road teams in the Big 10 or ACC is any better. The MWC has 3 top teams just like everyother conference, then there are the bottom feeders. Look at the Big XII, outside of Texas, OU, and Ok State, the rest of the conference isnt that good,especially the Big XII North.
I never wanna get down on dudes for comin back to school, especially quarterbacks because of the track record for dudes at that position comingout early, but that situation almost went sour real fast for Sam... Looks like the shoulder is nothin serious, and he'll still be a first round pick inApril, but it ain't gonna be a fun season in Norman if those damned receivers can't get their +$%# together...

Stop. The rest of the MWC conference is flat out GARBAGE.Not one of those teams is even average after the Top 3...
Granted I don't know the severity, but I'd think they'll hold him out for Idaho State and Tulsa as a precaution with the Bye afterthat and try to have him ready for Miami to kick off October...

@ Crompton throwing 5 TDs.
Looks like those freshmen all put up some numbers, too. How'd they look on the field, Gunna?

Miami and Florida State are set to renew their annual rivalry Monday night on national television.
This rivalry draws not just eyes from all over the state of Florida, but also from around the country as well.
Both teams are not quite at the levels they may have been in the past but make no mistake, it's still a fierce rivalry. Anybody in the United States who is watching college football at 8:00 pm on September 7th will be watching this game.
Almost every high school football player in Florida as well as other states loves to watch this matchup each season. Some grew up following the Hurricanes, some grew up following the Seminoles, and some grew up following neither.
Although the game doesn't actually take place until Monday, each of these highly touted recruits already has their own idea of what will transpire. All twenty-four of the following senior prospects hold scholarship offers from the University of Miami.
Each gave his own take on which team will win, his thoughts on the score, and a brief explanation why they chose the team they did.
The Recruits' Picks
S Travis Bell, Glades Central - "Miami wins 36-14 because they're going to play hard, they've reloaded, and they have some great young returners on special teams."
RB Giovanni Bernard, St. Thomas Aquinas - "Florida State wins by 7-14 points because they have a real good offensive line coming back, they have a little more firepower, and Miami's quarterback situation is a little shaky."
WR Corey Brown, Cardinal O'Hara (PA) - "Florida State wins 21-17 because home field advantage is big, Christian Ponder is tough to stop, and I don't know if Jacory Harris can lead them to score enough."
DT Todd Chandler, Northwestern (Miami commit) - "Miami wins 35-34 because whoever wants it the most will come out with the win and Miami's young guys are hungry."
RB Eduardo Clements, Booker T. Washington - "Miami wins by 3-7 points because the defense will be better from last year with Sean Spence, Marcus Forston, and Brandon Harris."
LB Tyrone Cornileus, Stephenson (GA) (Miami commit) - "Miami wins by at least 14 points because they have a lot of talent, the younger talent is coming up, the defense is strong, and they have a great quarterback."
CB Jeremy Davis, Cape Coral (Miami commit) - "Miami wins 28-14 because they've been together for awhile now, everybody has gotten used to each other, and they were all babies last year and now they are grown men."
CB Greg Dent, Glades Central - "Florida State wins 45-38 because they have more experienced players and Miami has a lot of younger players."
WR Quinton Dunbar, Booker T. Washington - "Miami wins 17-14 because their offense will be better than last year and that will make the difference so that they can control the game."
OL Jonathan Feliciano, Western (Miami commit) - "Miami wins by 3 points because Florida State will miss a kick and the end and just because I'm committed."
CB Tony Grimes, Hollywood Hills - "Miami wins by 18 points because they're fired up this year, they're fully prepared, and Florida State lost a lot of talent in the senior class that just left."
WR Michaelee Harris, Northwestern - "Miami wins 38-12 because they have a talented offense and the defense is a little young but better than last year."
LB Javarie Johnson, Dunbar (D.C.) (Miami commit) - "Miami wins 24-21 because I'm biased toward them and that's where I'm committed."
LB Christian Jones, Lake Howell - "Florida State wins by 3-7 points because I was at their spring game and their defense looks great and tough to score against."
OL Arie Kouandjio, DeMatha Catholic (MD) - "Miami wins by 14 points because they've been recruiting so well over the past couple of years so the team is ready to get it done."
OL Brandon Linder, St. Thomas Aquinas - "Miami wins 21-14 because they have more talent, and the younger players have a year under their belt, and their program is headed in the right direction."
WR Ivan McCartney, Miramar - "Miami wins 35-21 because they will prove the doubters wrong and they have a chip on their shoulder."
OL Shane McDermott, Palm Beach Central (Miami commit) - "Miami wins 28-21 because it's finally time for the young players to rise to the occasion and it's a great rivalry."
QB Stephen Morris, Monsignor Pace (Miami commit) - "Miami wins in a really close game but Coach Whipple will have them prepared enough to get the win."
DT Louis Nix, Jacksonville Raines (Miami commit) - "Miami wins 22-21 because last year they lost some close games but the true freshmen are a year older now."
CB Kacy Rodgers, Southlake Carroll (TX) (Miami commit) - "Miami wins in a close game because the Miami players and coaches have been saying that they'll have a better team this season."
DE Lynden Trail, Booker T. Washington - "Miami wins by 3-6 points because it's such a close game every year and it's always tight."
TE Clive Walford, Glades Central (Miami commit) - "Miami wins 28-10 because Florida State always has talent but Miami has Graig Cooper, Travis Benjamin, Randy Phillips, and Jacory Harris."
WR Willis Wright, Miami Springs - "Miami wins by 3-7 points because they've been working hard in practice and people have been doubting them."

Make no mistake the University of Cincinnati has a good looking group of players looking tomake their mark at the running back position. While veterans Jacob Ramseyand John Goebel are well known, it's the younger faces that have manyfans looking towards the future.
That future is now and Coach Hinton wasted no time in making sure his players push to reach the next level in theirdevelopment.
"We have an excellent group or running backs to work with and we've got a lot of depth at the position with a lot ofcompetition. We've know we've got to continue to work on learning the game every day and continue to work on the mental and physical parts of the game.We're pushing ourselves and there is a lot of competition here and that is a positive thing. Football is a physical game and our players know they'vegot to be ready when they're called upon."
As for a player pushing forward in his development Darrin Williams has made inroads during camp for reps during the season.
"There is no question Darrin brings a change of speed as compared to John and Jake. With him and Isaiah (Pead) they bring adifferent speed to the field. Darrin Williams can run low to the ground and change the speed on the field. The bottom line is he must be able to be physicaland tough and do the things we need to do."
But while fans may look for the younger players it's the most veteran back that Hinton knows will be there when the bellrings.
"Jacob Ramsey is Mr. Steady Eddy. He works his butt off and brings a lot to the table with his work ethic each and every day.We know he'll always be in the right place."
The other veteran returning has been slowed in camp with an injury but Coach Hinton knows John Goebel brings a very good skill setto the field.
"We missed John during camp and we feel he'll be ready for Rutgers. John does add alot of dimensions as he runs better than some people think and he can catch the ball out of the backfield and can work out in space and make guys miss.He's a very good football player."
While the Bearcats don't have a fulltime fullback on their roster they do have some guys who can fill the void.
"You know we don't really recruit fullbacks so when it comes time we have to go over and steal a few linebackers and seewhat they can do. Many of those guys are former high school running backs and they love to get a snap here or there on the offensive side of theball."
As for what Coach Hinton has been preaching as the team prepares for the season it's back to the basics.
"Being able to pass protect very well and have great ball security is very important. We have to make sure we have great ballsecurity. The game has never changed as many times you beat yourself instead of the other team beating you."
With up to four backs looking for reps the Bearcats will have depth at the position during the 2009 season.
