Kendall Hunter just danced his way to a 46-yard touchdown run off a draw play, and I swear, I thought it was Dantrell Savage until Hunter got to the goal line. Savage has been spectacular so far, with 60 yards on eight carries and a bunch of darting, where-did-he-go runs. But then along comes Hunter (69 yards on five carries) who does the same kind of dancing. A few things about that:

1. These guys aren’t Barry Sanders. I don’t mean to infer that they are. But both are very good.

2. Hunter really isn’t Savage. Savage can run pretty darn good inside. We haven’t seen that out of Hunter yet.

3. Tech couldn’t tackle a dummy on the practice field. But that said, OSU’s tailbacks look very good. The Cowboys should keep running the ball. They’ve got 135 yards on 16 carries. That moves the chains and the clock, and that’s the best recipe for beating Tech.
