I think this years offense will be a little bit closure to the offense we all saw in 2006 under a Senior Troy Smith.

At least from a results standpoint.

2009: 29 PPG
2008: 28 PPG
2007: 32 PPG
2006: 36 PPG
2005: 32 PPG
2004: 23 PPG
2003: 23 PPG

With a veteran offense, this team should put up well over 30 points per game.

@adzmis – I’d love to rate every player, but I unfortunately don’t have that kind of time. But we do have a three month lull in major football news, so we’ll be looking at this year’s team position-by-position over the next three months.

@buckannapolis – Tomczak was just so dry! And he kept calling Jake Stoneburner “Stonebrunner”. It was driving me crazy. But I’ll give him another chance.

The comment about Posey’s eyesight was an eye opener (ugh). Hopefully he’ll get that taken care of.

@coqui – you are preaching to the choir, man. My favorite Buckeye play from the Cooper era was the pass to the FB out in the flats. They could run that play all day for all I care.

I will be very upset if we don’t use Boren at least once a game for a pass in the flats. The way he steamrolled brought visions of Jerome Bettis into my head. And if there wasn’t any proof before to use Stoneburner, there is now.

Liked your comments, but…
why so brutal on Tomczak?
C’mon, go easy tiger.
During his interview with Vrabel he even admitted that he was “new at this” when he got Vrabel’s years in the NFL wrong. Besides, he’s a color commentator. I kinda liked his Buckeye insight along with the NFL experience he brought to the table, unpolished as it was. I remember cringing a few times, but I laughed quite a few times too. How about MT’s revelation that Devier Posey claims he has poor eyesight AND his hands aren’t that great. What?! Hmmm. One word for DP: Lasik. You might have noticed that he had several drops…don’t know if the two are connected, just sayin.
Also, I don’t know about you, but hearing the story of Tomzcak breaking his leg during the Buckeye spring game, and then watching Kenny Guiton take that hit to the knee at the end of the game…well, it was a very scary moment until he got up under his own power. I maybe a homer, but Tomczak’s “authenticity” resonated with me. Not every former Buckeye qb can be a Herbie…

Bauserman’s performance worried me with the two interceptions – especially given his level of maturity.

Final comment…Coach Tressel (must) find a way to integrate Zach Boren and Stoneburner into our offense this Fall…what an incredible addition to the already potent arsenal for Pryor!

nice read, however it will be much better if you could provide an in depth analysis on the performances of every players (def or off) that took part in the Spring Game and grade them accordingly (eg from 1 to 5). Include their strengths or weaknesses and which areas that they should improve on. Thanks and Go Bucks.
