Freshman defensive end Scott Crichton (yes, FR) recently stated: "I think we have this game. I know we’re going to get this win. Our intensity keeps growing. We want it more (than the Devils). I know we want it more.” Riley said, "Maybe with good preparation and good performance we can win this game.” Maybe. Riley...maybe...maybe. But, I do admire the confidence of your players. Probably not the wisest thing to say, but at least they have confidence. http://www.portlandtribune.com/sports/story.php?story_id=131715427646937900
Scott Crichton and Dylan Wynn are going to be good ones. Very good. I can't wait to see how they progress over the next 2-3 years.
It just too bad our recruiting sucked in 07-08. That's why we suck right now. I guarantee we'll be good again in the next year or two though.
Hope you're right. If Riley was more on top of player development and recruiting, OSU wouldn't be in this position. I don't see much depth, Tlong and after this season OSU will have to replace three of their best offensive lineman, their best DE, LB and S. Just doesn't seem like the talent is there. I think next season will be ugly too, but if things come together, possibly in two years get back to a .500 level.
