Will Hunter play? He's been cleared; is he just being a wuss about the injury?

11:03

Brandon Chatmon - Dan, that's the big question... and only Kendall Hunter knows. I can't speak on what Kendall feels so I'm not going to call him out but the bottom line is that he has been cleared to play. So it's a matter of how he feels. Yet he hasn't played so I guess each up to each person to decide what they think.

11:04

Brandon Chatmon - I've heard he looks good one day, is limping the next, so who knows when we will see Kendall again

Can OSU beat Texas? What needs to happen?

11:05

Brandon Chatmon - I think the answer is yes. The key will be stopping the Longhorns pass and OSU will have to be able to run the football, with or without Kendall. But there's no doubt in my mind OSU can win this game

I think OSU wins out and goes to the National Championship. What do you think?

11:06

[Comment From John]
Especially if Dez comes back.

11:08

Brandon Chatmon - Goes to the national championship??? I'm not sure about that one but I think they can win out. Sadly for OSU, they let other people decide their BCS title hopes with the loss to Houston. But a Big 12 championship is within reach... especially if Dez returns

Love your stories, Brandon. How good can Hubert become?

11:09

Brandon Chatmon - Thanks guest, I think Hubert has the ability to play in the NFL someday. If he stays hungry and works towards being the best, he has the physical ability. He's strong, fast, quick and can make plays. He just needs to work on his concentration and limit his drops

You think Dez comes back? When will we know?

11:10

[Comment From Jessica]
Speaking of Dez...what's the story? No word at all from the NCAA right? What's Dez doing...can he participate in any team activities at all (i.e. working out, practice, etc.)?

11:12

Brandon Chatmon - Bill, No I don't. And I have no idea, we were talking about Dez yesterday and OSU has no clue when they'll know anything... Dez practiced for a day or two then stopped apparently he's having a tough time with the whole situation and understandably so. I'll have more about Dez in tomorrow's OSU notebook.

Where will Dez get drafted

11:13

Brandon Chatmon - If he's not a top 10 pick, I'll be shocked. He's special, no doubt about it. And this situation will make him love football even more. Some NFL team is going to be really, really happy come draft day.

[Comment From Brent]
Brandon. . do you think Zac has been forced to be a better qb without Dez? He seems a lot more accurate since "superman" hasn't been in the lineup.

11:15

Brandon Chatmon - Brent, I think that's a fair assessment. With Dez out, Zac has lost his safety net in terms of if all else fails, throw to Dez. He's reading his progressions and finding the open man. That said, the reason he rarely got to progression No. 2 was because Dez was so special he was normally open.
