Here comes OSU. I've been thoroughly impressed with the turnaround in Columbus. I left them for dead when Lighty went down.

Turner is a stud, and the two freshmen (Buford & Mullens) are coming along nicely. Gophers will have their hands full on Saturday. Would be an important one to get, as our resume is very similar to OSU's.

Turner, Kalin Lucas, Talor Battle and Manny Harris are the four guys I'd have as locks for 1st-team All-Big 10. The fifth spot is wide open.
