Champ Sports Bowl, Miami Hurricanes -vs- Wisconsin
-
Sharpton's expected to go low in the draft because of his height (5'11") and below average coverage ability, but I like how he plays. He's made great strides from last year, when he didn't look like he knew what he was doing on the field.
Might be a late bloomer who surprises at the next level.
-
I've liked Nick Toon everytime I've seen a Wisconsin game. I thought I was bias because of his dad, but the kid is running great patterns and catches the ball effortlessly. Even the catch out of bounds was a beauty.
Another one to follow over the next year or two.
-
Wisc TE Lance Kendricks has a great pair of mits, and even Wisc RB John Clay picked a nice low pass off the carpet.
GO BIG TEN!!!
-
Wisc TE, Kendricks has 7 catches 128 yards through 3-qtrs of play. Kids got great hands and gives his QB a nice target by sealing off his coverage.
-
Man, Wisconsin is tough. They are letting the Hurricanes hang around but so far they have over-come everything from the fumble to every big gain this second half called back on a penalty.
I'm liking Wisconsins Junior QB Scott Tolzien.
-
Great fumble recovery. C'mon Badgers. Close 'em out.
Go Big Ten!
-
I'm telling ya, #50 Sharpton for Miami can play. Under-sized or not, that kid is the only one who can bring down Clay by tackling him up high.
#50 Schofield has definately lived up to his billing too.
Best Bowl game so far, IMO.
-
Watch #50 on both teams #50 LB Darryl Sharpton of Miami is a stud, leads the Hurricanes in tackles and #50 DE O'Brien Schofieldof Wisconsin reminds me of Mike Vrabel.
-
Physically, he reminds me of Bart Scott, but he's got more pass rush ability. All the tools are there - just gotta make sure he's got the mental makeup to play LB.
How did you like him dropping back into coverage on that first down play? He came back up and made the tackle at the line of scrimmage. that showed a lot of what he will need to do at the next level.
-
Yep, that was good to see. Ideally, you'd also like to see him play some LB at the Senior Bowl practices and score highly on the Wonderlic, but that play was promising.
Also saw him in the Michigan game correctly diagnose a screen play and chase down the ball carrier for no gain. That made me more confident about his read&react ability.
-
Awesome game by Wisconsin!
I smell a Big Ten SWeeeeeeep! LOL
-
Despite the fumble, Wisconsin TE Garrett Graham had a pretty good game (6 catches, 77 yards). He showed some elusiveness in the open field and effort as a blocker, even if he wasn't always successful.
Guys like Graham and Dennis Pitta (BYU) make me pretty confident that we can find a nice receiving TE in the 3rd round of this year's draft. Evan Moore's shown some promise, but adding a rookie will provide us security in case he doesn't pan out or gets hurt. Hopefully, we'll then be set at the position for the next five years.

Graham is 6'-4", 248
Kendricks is 6'-4", 237 (JR)
I liked Kendricks better, but agree that Graham is build more for the NFL. Would be great to have them both such as the Badgers did this year. Not to mention their two DE's ... the Buckeyes really got lucky getting past Wisconsin this sesaon.
