I don't know that I buy that time either, but I watched Kent play Balls Tate and Archer was running past those defenders like they were standing still. What makes him so scary is that we can play great defense for 98% of the game, but if we have 1 missed tackle on him he can turn it into a touchdown. 1 or 2 plays like that can make the difference between a win and a loss, even if the defense does well the rest of the game. He's a threat to score anytime he touches the ball. We don't play against many guys in this league with his kind of speed, so it'll be a big challenge. I hope our gameplan against Kent starts off with doing whatever we can to keep him from touching the ball, including kickoffs. He can't score if he doesn't have the pigskin.

Archer's a good player. But, he's not Charles Woodson. I'll be interested to see what he does against Rutgers.

Luckily...we have some speed on the edges and the DL is playing well. You don't need to outrun a guy like that if you can blow up his blocking and force him to the sidelines and take good angles to him
It's not the fall that hurts...it's when you hit the ground.
