Greetings again.
Was scanning through ESPN and found Mr. Kiper talking about Saturday's game with Syracuse. In his preview he says the Traye Simmons/Mike Williams matchup will be a key to the game. That could be true, but I belive Marcus Sherels will get his shots at the Syracuse receiver as well.
Kiper also says Gophers receiver Eric Decker has a chance to be a first- or second-round draft choice. A quick look at the Gophers media guide tells me that, should Decker be a first-round pick, he'd be the first Gophers wide receiver taken in the first round since Bud Grant in 1950.
