Quick question, what conference did Dalton and the Horned Frogs beat in the Rose Bowl?


There is a big difference in Urban Meyer's up tempo system and Gary Patterson's defensive oriented approach as well.  

That being said, I don't see anyone calling Haskins a sure fire bust.  I see folks saying there are bigger needs in the early rounds in a draft FULL of defensive talent.  Our d, as we know, was historically bad last season.  It just makes sense to try and capitalize on that talent in this draft.  There is also a bit of wariness over Haskins only having one year under his belt....and that's not irrational at all.

Another thing that gives me pause is the effectiveness of Meyer's elite college QBs at the next level.  So far, the only success has been Alex Smith, and how long did it take him to have even a modicum of success?  Hell, most of them never play in the NFL.  He's had a string of one hit wonders at OSU, and frankly, that does give me pause in regards to his latest protege.
