Some Player Biographies

ESPN has a very nice piece on Mark Sanchez's entire family history. Not much football to it but a little knob polishing by ESPN in July/August might give them good access to the QB should he become the franchise at USC and beyond. It's excerpted from ESPN THE MAG.

Sporting News does an excellent article on Justin Boren. Boren won't even play this year for Ohio State because he transferred from a I-A or FBS conference team to another but the dude does not back down at all from his assertions with regard to Rodriguez's in your face/up your ass coaching style which he did not appreciate or really have the opportunity to choose coming out of High School. His dad, a former Michigan player- and by some accounts a bit controlling, readily supports both of his sons' decisions to play for OSU.

CFN's Fiutak covers the Big 10 this morning and brings up a lot of interesting points. Iowa should do well and Illinois not so much while Wisconsin could be in the hunt for a National Title birth this season should they dethrone Ohio State, however, their out of conference schedule is sorely lacking opponents with a pulse outside of Fresno State.

4 out of 5 top pro prospects are Buckeyes with Maurice Evans the DE from Penn St being the bologna in the Buckeye sandwich.
