    For you reading....

    [FONT=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]Except for the fact that he gets paid lots of money, ESPN analyst Kirk Herbstreit is not unlike the rest of us when it comes to prognosticating college football. [/FONT]
    [FONT=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]His guesses are as good - or bad - as yours or mine. [/FONT]
    [FONT=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]Occasionally, he's right.
    [/FONT]
    [FONT=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]More often than not, he's wrong. [/FONT]
    [FONT=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]In the case of Glenn Dorsey, he's almost certainly right. [/FONT]
    [FONT=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]Not long ago, Herbstreit labeled Dorsey "the best player in college football'' going into the 2007 season, now just a month away. [/FONT]
    [FONT=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]Anybody who has ever competed against the imposing 6-foot-2, 300-pound defensive tackle from LSU is unlikely to disagree. [/FONT]
    [FONT=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]"He's the first guy you look for when you come to the line of scrimmage if you're playing LSU,'' said Tennessee quarterback Erik Ainge. [/FONT]
    [FONT=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]"I was hoping he'd turn pro,'' Auburn coach Tommy Tuberville said. "We tried a dozen different ways to block him last year and we haven't slowed him down yet.'' [/FONT]
    [FONT=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]"He's not a guy you want chasing you, believe me,'' said Auburn quarterback Brandon Cox, who speaks with a voice of authority. ........

    Thanks, good read. "The best" in college football, wow that's high praise indeed, and from Herbstreet no less, not usually an LSU kinda guy.

    by the end of the season, we can play a fun game matching up SEC quarterbacks with the physical and emotional injuries dorsey gives them. yunno like:

    tim tebow - crippled spirit, nightmares.
    john parker wilson - shattered soul.

    etc.

    And if teams try to double team they will feel the wrath of Tyson Jackson.

    Nice article... looking forward to seeing the havoc Dorsey (and Jackson, Favorite, Alexander, Alem, et al) wreaks on teams this year.

    Out of curiosity I checked al.com's main sports page. There is a poll on who will win the SEC. Bama is winning by a wide margin over... Auburn! :lol: Homerism is everywhere but it's gonna be especially fun to burst that particularly large, delusional bubble.
