That's fine, man... I was just explaining why I like Matthews better (no need to really drag it out more than two replies ago lol).

Also, going with college player opponents who are future high draft picks isn't a very accurate gauge of something. Most major division 1 schools have those, so everyone is going to face them... Fresno St. may be a mid-major, but it's not like Gerhart was taking on the future top picks by himself- again, he had o-linemen blocking for him at the first level.

A few years back, Auburn was featuring upperclassmen who were future first round picks (Jason Campbell, Cadillac Williams, Carlos Rogers, Ronnie Brown and Karlos Dansby). Their season opener was against a team starting a first-time starter QB and two freshmen running backs. The latter team won at Auburn, 23-0. Matt Leinart, Reggie Bush and Lendale White weren't exactly veterans when they won that game. What's this mean? It doesn't really matter how things shake out in college until you get into the NFL.
