WEEK 4: WEEK IN REVIEW

WEEK FOUR

WEEK IN REVIEW

THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 20^TH

ARKANSAS-PINE BLUFF @ ALABAMA STATE 6:30PM ESPNU

ARKANSAS-PINE BLUFF:

TERRON ARMSTEAD (#70) SR OT 6-4 314

NOTES: Armstead is very raw. He is very strong at the point of attack, but plays high, and has sloppy footwork. He is a fringe draftable player at this point.

SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 22ND

VIRGINIA @ TCU 11AM ESPN

VIRGINIA:

ODAY ABOUSHI (#72) SR OT 6-6 310

NOTES: Aboushi is very strong at the point. He struggles with his footwork, and at reaching the second level. He wasn’t really challenged by a pass rusher in this game.

MORGAN MOSES (#78) JR OT 6-6 335

NOTES: Moses needs some technique work. His footwork is choppy, and a good speed rusher can get him in trouble. He probably shouldn’t enter the draft this year.

TCU:

STANSLEY MOPANGA (#90) JR DE 6-2 265

STATS: 4 TACKLES

NOTES: Mopanga was very active during the game. Much more so than only 4 tackles would indicate.

MARYLAND @ WEST VIRGINIA 11AM FX

MARYLAND:

JOE VELLANO (#72) SR DT 6-2 285

STATS: 6 TACKLES, 2 TFL

NOTES: Vellano and Francis were giving Geno Smith fits all game. They were both applying constant pressure.

AJ FRANCIS (#96) SR DT 6-4 295

STATS: 4 TACKLES, 1 SACK

WEST VIRGINIA:

GENO SMITH (#12) SR QB 6-3 215

STATS: 32/43 338 YARDS, 3 TD

NOTES: Smith has a very strong arm and a very quick release.  He is accurate on his throws. Smith is moving up the ranks of senior QB’s and is playing his way into 1^st round consideration.

TAVON AUSTIN (#1) SR WR 5-9 176

STATS: 13 REC 179 YARDS 3 TD

NOTES: Let the Percy Harvin comparisons begin. Austin is an explosive athlete with the ball in his hands. Hard to say where he is as a route runner, but he has great speed and makes plays.

MISSOURI @ SOUTH CAROLINA 2:30PM CBS

MISSOURI:

SHELDON RICHARDSON (#34) SR DT 6-3 290

STATS: 7 TACKLES, 1 FF, ½ SACK

NOTES: Richardson has a non-stop motor and can line up all over the defensive line. He and 6^th year senior linebacker Will Ebner were the only bright spots on the Mizzou defense.

SOUTH CAROLINA:

TJ JOHNSON (#55) SR OC 6-4 316

NOTES: Johnson can handle his own in the run game. His shotgun snaps have improved greatly over the last year. I would consider him a priority free agent at this point.

        KANSAS STATE @ OKLAHOMA 6:50PM FOX

KANSAS STATE:

ARTHUR BROWN (#4) SR ILB 6-1 228

STATS: 8 TACKLES

NOTES: Great instincts, but his size worries me if he hopes to transition to the mike position in the NFL. He may be a weak side LB at the next level.

NIGEL MALONE (#24) SR CB 5-10 178

STATS: 6 TACKLES

OKLAHOMA:

LANDRY JONES (#12) SR QB 6-4 230

STATS: 28/43 298 YARDS, 1 TD, I INT

NOTES: UGH! Landry Jones is falling like a rock. His arm strength and accuracy are not what I was expecting. I, in no way can project him near the first round at this point.

KENNY STILLS (#4) JR WR 6-0 190

STATS: 6 REC 60 YARDS

CLEMSON @ FLORIDA STATE 7PM ABC

CLEMSON:

MALLICAH GOODMAN (#97) SR DE 6-4 278

STATS: NO STATS ACCUMULATED

FLORIDA STATE:

EJ MANUEL (#3) SR QB 6-4 245

STATS: 27/35 380 YARDS 2 TD; 12 ATT 102 YARDS

NOTES: Manuel has good arm strength and great mobility. I would rank him as the #3 senior QB right now. My thing main problem with Manuel is his lack of consistency, play to play, week to week.

CHRIS THOMPSON (#4) 5-8 187

STATS: 15 ATT 103 YARDS 2 TD; 8 REC 79 YARDS

NOTES: Explosive, Explosive, and even more explosive. Outside of Oregon’s De’Anthony Thomas, no player in college football may have more explosiveness. Thompson would be higher on more lists, but you have to take his medical history into account. He missed most of 2011 with A BROKEN BACK. Dude is lucky to still be walking properly, much less making the plays he is.

ARIZONA @ OREGON 9:30PM ESPN

ARIZONA:

MATT SCOTT (#10) SR QB 6-3 198

STATS: 22/44 210 YARDS 3 INT

DAN BUCKNER (#4) SR WR 6-3 220

STATS: 3 REC 42 YARDS

OREGON:

DION JORDAN (#96) SR DE 6-6 246

STATS: 4 TACKLES, 1 FF

KIKO ALONSO (#47) SR ILB 6-4 242

STATS: 9 TACKLES, 1 INT
