NBlue Posted August 27, 2003 Share Posted August 27, 2003 Dallas Baker. Bet you haven't even heard of him yet, but you will . . . (btw, Taylor is an absolute freak -- the only guy i'm surprised no one has mentioned is Vince Wilfork -- he is a load to watch). also, i agree with those who believe that Larry Fitzgerald is the best WR in college football (followed closely by Rashaun Woods at OSU).

Reggie Williams is the best, yall will find out soon enough. When he goes for 200 and 3 TDs with Gamble on him, you'll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skeletor The Invincible Posted August 27, 2003 Share Posted August 27, 2003 Man you guys at UMD must really be carazy. FSU beat you so bad last season that they put in all their backups for the second half. I'm not a FSU fan or anything but they killed you. They'll still run all over the ACC.

Without doubt, they have the best running back in the ACC. Unfortunately, they have no offensive line. We'll see how well they do. They have also lost to NCSU two years in a row and must play at UVA.

Uptown Skins Posted August 27, 2003 Share Posted August 27, 2003 Originally posted by NBlue .........(followed closely by Rashaun Woods at OSU). Statistically, he was the BEST WR in College Football. He was no. 2 in yards, no.4 in receptions and No.1 in TD catches. He's a true Sooner-killer! I'll put my money on him and Larry Fitzgerald(Pitt) before I put it on Mike Williams(who'll miss Carson Palmer). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skins26 Posted August 27, 2003 Author Share Posted August 27, 2003 Oh hell yeah i saw that hit Uptown Skins! The guys went flipping into the air, that was unbelievable. Did you see (i believe it was his hit) in the Miami vs. Pittsburg game when it was blown coverage and a Pitt WR was just standing behind the miami D, but the QB threw it way too short so it was like the WR was cathcing a punt and i think it was Taylor that just melted the guy as soon as the ball touched his hands. I love watching him after he has a pick or something when he has the ball, to see his speed is unbelievable, he has the longest smoothest quick strides ive ever seen. He seems to be a superfreak. Also i'm with you on Rashaun Woods being the best. Fitzgerald is sick, so is Roy Williams. But right now this guy has everything. His speed/hands/route running is just amazing. Another guy to watch everyone is Bernard Berrian a WR from Fresno State, He got hurt in the first game last year but in the first quarter alone i saw him in he was insane. Including a TD catch that he caught the ball while hurdling a defender then walked into the endzone. If he stays healthy look out! Fresno State will be playing Tenn. on ESPN 2 this saturday at 3. So watch that game and look for WR # 2 Bernard Berrian of Fresno State. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Evil Genius Posted August 27, 2003 Share Posted August 27, 2003 BTW - I think WR Lee Evans, Wisconsin is poised to rebound with a huge year. If he can prove he is healthy, I think he will work himself into a 1st rounder next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Earthcat Posted August 27, 2003 Share Posted August 27, 2003 THE team is the Auburn Tigers. They have the best backfield in all the land. So many good RBs, they won't all get the carries they deserve. My guy has to be "Cadillac" Williams. Watch him...he reminds me of Barry Sanders. But if he doesn't stay healthy for a whole year his value will drop like a rock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skins26 Posted August 28, 2003 Author Share Posted August 28, 2003 Good choice Blondie, Darren Sproiles i really like. He was sick last week in the K State/Cal game. He had that like 60 yard run on the first play. I switched over to it during commercials of the skins game and it seemed like every time he was tearing it up. He is short but very fast and when he jukes its like he's still moving at full speed downfield while doing it. He really impressed me. He had been a guy who i had heard his name but never saw him play until last saturday. Ell Roberson too, he looks to be in the Heisman race this year.
