The new freshman qb could one of the reasons LK is back with the quarterbacks.

Word is Fulford has anhigh ankle sprain.

YSU opponents in the 1AA/FCS championship have been Marshall (3 times), Boise State, McNeese State, Georgia Southern and James Madison. They have played NDSU in the playoffs and have lost twice if memory serves me.

VK and LK join Jim and Lee Tressel as only the second father son duo to win national championships. Great job today by coaches and players alike!!

Long time reader but seldom post. Glad to see the discussion is finally settling in on the game. My take on Friday:

In 2003 Mount had a talented team and MASSIVE O line. If I recall there was some reference back then to them being as big or larger than Ohio States line.   I watched a smaller quicker SJU D line create havoc all day for the Raider line.  Although this week the STU line is bigger than Mount in 2003 not much seems to be discussed about that size advantage.  If the Raider D line can out quick STU the results will favor the Raiders.  All they need is a stalemate at the line and let their linebackers clean up.  Against UWW the D line over-powered and manhandled them despite the advantage in size.  Lets hope the D backs can cover in one on one and allow the front seven to crowd the box.  A few references to but not a lot said about their passing attack. 

With respect to the quarterbacks, I have watched all of the great ones and I am torn between Ballard and Borchert.  I did have the pleasure of being in the same recruiting class with Gary Frost and he was by far the most talented player on our team. He probably should have been the starter as a sophomore.  His skill set was perfect for todays offense.  Running the Houston veer was not all that different than todays read option.  He also had a cannon for an arm.  We just never threw a lot.  Mainly to keep defences honest.  He had two great running backs with him in the backfield Mark Choppa and Mike Gillespie both hall of famers which made it difficult for opposing teams to defend. Alas a different time and situation.

Wish I could be in Salem.  Good luck to the Raiders, make us proud!!!
