Stephen Carr looks like an all-Big Ten back to me. As long as the OL holds its blocks long enough for him to clear scrimmage, he can do some tremendous things in the open field. He cuts really well for a big guy, he looks to smash tacklers, and he has enough speed to take it to the house.
Second, yes, Mike Penix had a nice game and completed several clutch throws, particularly to Ty Fryfogle and Peyton Hendershot. But I think we are throwing too many sideline passes to guys who are tightly covered. I'd like to see some shots around 30-40 yards down the middle of the field, on some curl routes. It's not that those sideline passes can't be completed, it's just that percentagewise, they're harder to complete.
