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 watched both games too. Just because he had a greater impact in the Penn St game doesn't mean they shut him down against Michigan. A guy that has 100 yards and a TD isn't shut down. He had a bunch of impact plays in that game. If anything if they hadn't affected the QB he would have had even more. The QB was the weak point.
And stop resurrecting every old thread, you get kicked off most forums for doing something like that. You have something recent to say start a new one.
