[BisonTru]

Finally, Lauletta gets on the list.

BTW, I watched Cookus this weekend. He's really good and might win this award, but, IMO, Lauletta is a better QB. Jenkins could beat both of them. It's just tough at least to me to judge such a dual threat QB to a couple pocket passers.

Glad Menard is getting noticed as well even though DT Tanguay is the best on our line IMO, but he is almost exclusively double teamed.

[JSUSoutherner]

Darius Jackson is a stud. Only a sack away from breaking the school record.

Eli's stats (his completion rating in particular) should only get better as the season goes on. Our offense is starting to find its rhythm and Barge will make a world of difference. I expect Jenkins will feast on the OVC once again.

What'a the deal with DeLuca? What happened?

What'a the deal with DeLuca? What happened?

He hurt his shoulder week 1. Sounds like they played him a couple weeks to see if he could play through it. Actually I think after week 2, Deluca and the doctors knew he couldn't play through it without surgery, but let him play against Iowa anyway because of how big that game was. Just speculation, but the surgery rumors started before the game.

Anyway he had surgery and will apply for a medical redshirt and hopefully return next year. A smart move, IMO, with what he has on the line with the NFL best not to play banged up and put out a bunch of poor tape. You could tell he was in a lot of pain playing.

Hope he gets the MRS. He's definitely an NFL talent and it would really suck for him not to get his chance.

He should. They've said they've documented everything and everything seems that he would be within the guidelines. If not, he'll still get in a camp somewhere, but it's financially significant to be a high pick. I think with a good season next year he could be as high as second round pick. He was on the Dick Butkus watch list this year, which is the best LB in the country all divisions.

[Go Lehigh TU owl]

Pujals might be done for the year.

Lehigh's offense is starting to get roll. Shafnisky and Pelletier are a beastly combo. Cooper Kupp and Wieneke get all the love (and rightfully so) but TP is right there after those guys imo.

I heard he was injured. I wanted to see what the forecast is on him but thought he deserved mention right now based on what he had done.

[RichH2]

I heard he was injured. I wanted to see what the forecast is on him but thought he deserved mention right now based on what he had done.

No official word yet. Should note he is 2nd best QB with Rams Anderson in PL. Shafniskey leads the pack by a fair margin right now. #1 in completion % nationally.

I noticed the good numbers. Want to see those guys get in PL play and see what they do when they face top 40 caliber teams. I hope Pujals can return at least in a few weeks because he is fun to watch.
