No doubt. Lowell is clearly the better team. They just wear you out.

OMG. Lowell is just handing off on every play and gaining about 5-10 yards every carry. This qb Gabe Dean is only a sophomore and runs it right through them on every play or gives it to the full back for gains.

Everyone talks about Gardner. What I want to know is where is Lowell's offensive lineman #55 Connor Kruse playing in college? This guy is well over 300 pounds and looks like Jake Long out there. He's literally most of the offense for Lowell.

[goblue]

Game over. Lowell is the division 2 champion for the third time in a decade.

He has only been offered by CMU but has MSU and Purdue on his list of schools too. UM isn't on there.

UM doesn't use 300 lb line men... remember?

When I saw Inkster they got their asses handed to them by Ignatius. Gardner does not play on a very good overall team - but he is very good. He tries to do to much at times and is raw - but in the RR system he could be special. He is in many ways like TP - talented, but raw. He has things that only God can give you - size and speed. I did not see the game today but if I had to predict they had a spy on Gardner (or two) and just did not let him get to the corner on the roll out. That is what Iggy did when they played in Cleveland. The idea was to keep him in the pocket where you could get to him. If he plays in any All-Star games he will do much better because he will have blocking and skilled players around him.

[rickyleach]

wow ,pryor jr didnt do very well , sshit who knows maybe he will go to ohio state and learn to be a pro qb like pryor,, osu is quarterback central now.

[1OSUNUT]

We will take him - no problem. How funny would that be if Tressel does RR like that again. I would laugh my ass off if that would happen. Who knows maybe it's possible.
