Remind me how Robiskie fared after Ginn and Gonzo left.
Sometimes talented depth simply gets caught behind guys who are even better.
Furthermore, sometimes injury intervenes and impacts productivity too. Injuries have hit BOTH Sandeman and Chaney. Of course, I'm sure nothing like that has ever happened to an Ohio State player.

Exactly, Homer.
And beyond devier posey, who TF does fosu have at wideout? And even if they're stacked, why would anyone think prior can get the ball to them with any consistency? He hasn't yet, and his throwing mechanics are laughable, to boot.
I'll take our WR corps over any in the nation. Yes, any.

Sanzenbacher is also a very good wideout (plays the Gonzo to Posey's Ginn). After that it drops off a bit. Duron Carter would have been a very solid #3 for them, but he's not there.

tOSU also has Sanzenbacher at WR and Stoneburner at TE. Iowa recruited both of those guys pretty hard. tOSU also has Washington, however, he hasn't been terribly consistent. Carter seemed to be promising ... however, I believe he's currently gone due to academics. I'm sure that they have some talented freshmen ... however, they invariably have experienced talent ahead of them.

Steve Deace (Des Moines radio personality) put it this way when describing TUOS, and he's stuck to it. They're a team that doesn't really have a lot of weaknesses; there's no area to point to where you can say "that's where you beat them."
However, they don't have anyone on either side of the ball that really scares you either. Pryor hasn't proven that he can do anything against Big 10 defenses; he certainly didn't against Iowa and Wisconsin last year. They don't have anyone like a Ted Ginn or Anthony Gonzalez.

I then must disagree with Deace. When they're playing at their best, guys like Pryor, Boren, Posey, Heyward, and Hines definitely have my undivided attention and concern.

None of those guys fall under the category of "we can't let that guy beat us." That's what I'm getting at. Outside of Posey, who I just saw that you listed, but I don't feel like editing a whole post.
. My gosh you really have little idea what you're talking about. No idea about OSU's WR's, can't spell Pryor's name correctly, but to take Iowa's WR corp over any in the nation is just silly talk. I mean at least have a shred of objectivity. Lol.....that post failed.
As for Homer's point....so you are telling me Sandeman and Chaney have been beat out by more talented players and are injury prone? That is quality depth?

Like you? If Vintage doesn't have a clue about the Bucks, you're equally as clueless about Iowa.
But you are a Buckeye fan, so it's not surprising that your knowledge of any other team in the conference not named Michigan is (and I'm being kind here) somewhat limited.

You do realize that any player who is not a starter was obviously beaten out by better players (at least 90% of the time)? But if guys like Sandeman or Chaney don't count as quality depth because they got beat out for starting jobs (when they were actually the challengers, not the defending champs, so to speak), then none of OSU's, Texas', USC's, etc.'s backups count for depth, either.
But all of our WR's are healthy as of right now. It's a pretty deep unit. Are they an injury or two from being in a bind? Sure, but so is just about any team in the country.

Chaney tore a frackin' ACL last season. One major injury does not imply the kid is injury prone. As for Sandeman, he was hampered by hammy issues at least once ... he's had other issues too, but I don't recall them.
Anyhow, again, I guess Robiskie must have sucked when Ginn and Gonzo were on the squad, eh?

Heyward is a guy who can take over a game on the D side of the ball. Similarly, when Pryor plays like he did against Oregon ... he's a guy who can beat just about anybody.
Haha Shada while Iowa obviously isn't my specialty I know more about B10 team rosters than most, and judging by your posts I certainly know more than you or Vintage. All these back-up WR's may be studs, bùt think that nation writers are suppose to know how awesome they are when their numbers don't reflect that is a slight stretch.

I'm not going to concern myself with anything fOSU-related until at least early November. We won't see the sweater vest until a week before Thanksgiving. I will check the game scores, but details regarding your personnel are irrelevent to me right now.
Until then, I couldn't care a whit about you or your team, ferd. And I care even less if you consider me a "fail".

Man I love Buckeye fans. Tell me this, who is freshman TE that Iowa fans are excited about?

And yet here you are, claiming to know so much about the Big Ten, and YOU don't think it's very deep, either, because you don't pay that much attention to Iowa's roster. So you don't really have a lot of room to roast a guy for not knowing much about OSU's roster.
Sandeman is a guy who's had a few injuries, but he's also been around some talented receivers (DJK, Brodell, Dominique Douglass, Stross, McNutt). That has kept him down on the depth chart. But he gets on the field because he IS a pretty reliable receiver, and also a very good blocker. When we run as much as we do, there aren't necessarily a lot of catches to go around for everyone. The top WR's and TE's bring in far more catches because that's the nature of the beast. But he delivers when his number is called, and THAT is what defines quality depth.
