Irresistable Force Meets Immovable Object

This week's Pac 10 showdown between USC and Stanford will feature some of the best collisions we have seen all season. Two guys on opposing teams who have an uncanny combination of size and speed will likely come together more than a few times. The two players I am referring to, of course, are Toby Gerhart and Taylor Mays. Gerhart is coming off of a game in which he ran over and through the Oregon Ducks all day long. Stanford hands him the ball and runs the traditional "power" play pretty much all game. Taylor Mays, along with Tennessee's Eric Berry, is considered one of the top Safeties in all of college football. He is always good for a few big hits every week, but this week will be special. This week when he sprints toward the ball carrier for a bone crushing tackle, he will run into one of the few opposing players who can match his power. It is going to resemble two bucks clashing to defend their territory. It could come down to who wants it more. No matter the outcome of the game Gerhart and Mays should be one of the better one on one matchups we have seen in a long time.
