Buckeyes just landed a 5 star QB out of Florida. It’s Urban’s world…

From Cleveland.com

COLUMBUS, Ohio – After more than a year of ups and downs recruiting five-star quarterback Torrance Gibson of Plantation (Fla.) American Heritage, Ohio State got the payoff when he announced his commitment to the Buckeyes on Monday afternoon. 

Rated by 247Sports the No. 3 athlete in the 2015 class, Gibson, who also accepted his jersey for his participation in the US Army All-American Game, chose the Buckeyes over LSU and Miami (Fla.). Gibson was also considering Oklahoma, Auburn, Arizona, Central Florida and Tennessee until the end of his process. 

The 6-foot-4, 205-pound prospects is one of the most talented players in the country, and he’s coming off a 2013 season in which he rushed for more than 1,000 yards, passed for nearly 2,000 and scored 29 total touchdowns while leading American Heritage to its first-ever state championship. 

Through eight games this season, Gibson has rushed for 563 yards and passed for 995 while racking up 18 total touchdowns.

Hey State of Florida, sucks to suck, huh? Ohio is just owning you in everything right now. We took Urban from you. LeBron didn’t like you so he came back. Jerome Baker said he was gonna come down and play in your state but nope no dice. How does it feel to be Ohio’s little brother?

Also, hey SEC, suck it. Sorry not sorry we stole one of the top players in your recruiting area. I don’t want to say this is the downfall of the SEC… but let’s be honest it probably is. That’s it. Just hand us next year’s CFB Playoff Trophy now. Do you think Torrance Gibson wins the Heisman in 2015? 2016? Or both? In all seriousness he’ll probably redshirt next season because the Bucks will have JT Barrett and/or Braxton Miller as quarterback options. Urban Meyer playing chess while everyone else plays checkers. (or something like that)

Here are his highlights. Whoa.

Love that he’s a lefty

Browns v Buccaneers Monday Game Tape

A win is a win is a win. In the NFL it doesn’t matter how you get there, who you play, what the score is, the only thing that matters is that number in the left hand column. Don’t look now but that Browns have five wins and are over .500 this late in the season for the first time since 2007. That’s 7 years of shit football. I don’t want to hear the bitching. People, the NFL isn’t the BCS. There are no style points. There’s no strength of schedule. You play the teams on your schedule and you try and win each week.  It’s hard to win in this league and the Browns are doing it. Please spare me the bullshit “yeah but look at who their wins are against.” It doesn’t matter. The only thing that matters is the win-loss record at the end of the season. 5-3. On to Cincinnati. Let’s look at the game tape.

Billy Winn decided he would be the most athletic guy in the world and jump over people

brown

I need a tipdrill, I need a tipdrill

This is on Tate, gotta stay in bounds. Should have been 6

Mike Evans= Man. Also he flashed the money sign in honor of his former college teammate.

And the offense responded to Evans TD with this

Bademosi got F’ed up. I know how this feels and it’s not fun.

But then Tashaun Gipson decided to be Ed Reed this year & got his league leading 6th interception.

And we went into the half down 9-10. If you want me to try and explain what was going on at the end of the first half, I have no idea. The Bottlegate Twitter was a little harsh too.

The Browns came out strong in the second half and put together a 6 minute touchdown drive and Terrance hit the Shmoney

Regular Season Game 8: Buccaneers vs. Browns

And this set up the most anticipated Thursday night football game of the season

Johnny maybe doin little Shmoney Dance of his own on the sidelines to keep warm.

There was a fat guy interception

 If he ever gets a quarterback, Mike Evans is gonna be a good one

Quick! Someone put DiFranco on Evans

Kruger got like his 50th sack of the year

And the next play Craig Robertson blocked a punt

We started having SO MUCH FUN in the second half

Taylor Gabriel hauled in the first TD of his career. I’m starting to really like this guy.

But the real hero of this play was Terrance West and his blocking

After a couple of defensive stops the Browns got the ball back, ran out the clock, and ran the most beautiful play I’ve ever seen

Ballgame.

Quick thoughts:

  • As I said last week, I’d really like any sort of  a run game to show up
  • Don’t look now but Mingo has made some big time plays in the past 2 games
  • That helmet to helmet play in the 2nd quarter that wasn’t called was complete bullshit
  • Joe Haden v AJ Green on Thursday should be fun. Joe’s starting to play like his Pro Bowl self and Green is still a little knicked up
  • The bend-but-don’t-break defense won’t work against the Bengals
  • Mike Evans is gonna have a nice pro career
  • Taylor Gabriel continues to impress
  • Hopefully Andrew Hawkins is healthy enough to play against his former team Thursday
  • 5-3 this year, 300 yards and 2 touchdowns in this game and yet people still want Johnny. Sigh.
  • The other teams in the AFC North can start losing whenever they want K thanks
  • Where’s Crowell? Doesn’t the running game need a spark? Feed Tha Crow.
  • I still don’t understand how Bucs QB Mike Glennon is engaged to this
  • 2 more games till #JG12 is back. Can’t wait.

Game Balls: Taylor Gabriel, Donte Whitner, Joe Haden, Billy Cundiff, Brian Hoyer, Craig Robertson, Paul Kruger
