    Top NFL Draft Prospects for the Rose Bowl:

    1. Cameron Heyward, DE, Ohio State(Pictured)

    Another 3-4 DE or 4-3 left end prospect that makes teams salivate on account of his versatility. His big frame (6-6/290) could even add a few pounds. Likely a second round pick if he declares this year.

    2. T.J. Ward, SS, Oregon

    Under the radar safety that can really close on the ball. Hits well, but sometimes can get out of control. Lingering ankle issue might push him into the 2nd or 3rd round.

    3. LeGarrette Blount, RB, Oregon

    While there are some ovbious warts here, the fact remains that Blount runs with supreme power. A team willing to take a chance could pick up a gem in the middle rounds -- even Maurice Clarett was a 3rd rounder. Bad example.

  • It would be nice to see Heyward in a Browns uniform next year.

  • T.J. Ward has been dinged up all year, but he's the kind of hard-hitting safety some here are looking for.

    I'd also keep an eye on junior DE-LB Kenny Rowe (#58). He's a versatile player with very good rush ability (8.5 sacks in '09).

  • That hit by Ward is what many defensive players dream about. He didn't just bring the wood he layed out the forrest.

  • Those were both some pretty hard hits lol

  • Ohio State is BIG and slower. The Ducks are smaller and faster.

    The Ducks have the better offense, the Buckeyes have the better defense.

    Jim Tressell's downfall has been his inability to adjust his game plan if he falls behind.

    I think Ohio State controls the tempo in this one and wins by 4 but they will have to put long drives together and keep the Ducks offense off of the field.

  • Don't underestimate that buckeye defense....I really see them shutting down the Ducks' offense. We'll see in 45 minutes! GO BUCKEYES

  • I don't but the Ducks QB is way better than Prior. He is hard to defend against even if you stop the run and pass. This guy has a motor and operates a fast tempo offense. If Ohio State can keep him off of the field they will win.

    I love the misconception. Ohio State has probably the fastest defense in all of college this year.

    How do your own words taste? Hmm? Pryor played a hell of a game

  • Except for the INT (one bad throw), Pryor was lights OUT! Awesome game! Loved it!

    P.S. OK, the lofted bomb to the TE was a bit of luck

  • TJ Ward brings the wood, could be a nice option in April.
