The Penn State game was almost all defense for both teams, and Harrison was far-and-away the biggest factor in that game ...... that was not the case in the Michigan game. I saw both games, and Harrison was clearly more dominant in the otherwise defensive-fueled Penn State game.

Holding Harrison to 5 catches and winning the game in which a total of 54 points were scored is similar to holding a prime Kareem-Abdul Jabbar to 25 points (instead of his his usual 35 points), and winning the game ...... something that Dave Cowens had a knack for doing when he played for the Celtics, even though he was only 6' 9" to Abdul-Jabbar's 7' 3".

There was no stopping Abdul-Jabbar in his prime, the best that you could do was to contain him ...... and the same is true of Marvin Harrison, Jr.

They probably should have used the term "contains" instead of "tempers."

I didn't say that they shut him down. I specifically said that they contained him, and I specifically explained why. Don't put words in my mouth.

And I'll post as I please.

They did. 5 catches (albeit for 118 yards) in a 30-24 game is doing a reasonably good job of containing Marvin Harrison, particularly when you win (which Michigan did.) Harrison is universally regarded as the best player in college football, and he may be the #1 overall draft pick next year. If he had had the game against Michigan that he did against Penn State, Ohio State most surely would have won. He didn't, and they lost.

Compared to an average player, Harrison had a really good game yesterday ...... by the standards of which Marvin Harrison Jr is judged by, he had a pretty good game yesterday, which, as I stated earlier, is all you can hope to do against such a great player.

Also, his average catches per-game is not as accurate of a barometer as are his individual games. He had 11 catches for 162 yards against Penn State, he had 8 catches for 163 yards against Maryland, and 7 catches for 149 yards against Michigan State. ...... on the other hand, he only had 3 catches for 30 yards against Minnesota, 4 catches 25 yards against Rutgers, and 2 catches 18 yards against Indiana. When being judged by NFL teams wanting to draft him, they aren't going to be looking at his aggregate average-per-game numbers, but rather the individual games in which he played in, at least 3 of which were monstrous.
