08:16 AM ET 09.29 | Is Michigan State quarterback Kirk Cousins overrated? A solid athlete who isn't overly impressive physically, but he has enough of a skill set to make it in the NFL. Nevertheless, he needs to take that next step in his understanding of the offense this year and cut down on the mental errors. ... Cousins has struggled some in his last two outings, but has the big stage vs. Ohio State this week to prove he can perform with consistency vs. good competition. He's a good kid, a hard worker and possesses a number of similar qualities to some of the senior quarterbacks who came off the board early in 2011. (Ponder/Dalton). But, his struggles with pressure could hold him back from ever becoming an NFL starter.

OK so I am cheating and taking a quick look in this morning. Thx for asking 0-6. The wifey loves the desert and loves the heat. So as they say happy wife...happy life.
What I don't like is the timing. Being on the left coast sux for watching CF. Take tonights game for eg. It was my habit in Chicago to get home on Thursday evenings, have dinner and retire to the big screen around 8:30 or so Chi time and watch whoever is playing.
Now on West coast time, I get home around 6:30 (9:30 EST), have to eat dinner with the wifey so by the time I get to the big screen (10:30 EST) the game is over. :(

Cousins is one of the best QBs in the Big-10, it takes a really really awesome defense to stop him boy i tell you!
