Because Ohio is clearly outmatched at every position on the field. And while I realize they lost to UConn last year and had close games with a couple of other teams, I think it's probably safe to say that the only time it won't be like that for him this season is in whatever BCS bowl Louisville ends up playing in. He's most likely going to have a season for the ages. It's like he's in 11 on 11 drills today.

Which is, again, not saying he's not good. He's got obvious tools and I think he's clearly the top QB prospect. Although I thought Boyd had a great showing last night. But how do you evaluate a guy playing a schedule like Louisville's? Even going back to last year, all you really have is the (great) Florida game...

(And of course level of competition didn't stop us from drafting Eric Fisher...)

He treated Florida like a HS game. I think he's the clear cut #1 pick next year.
