Burch isn't fat. He wears a rib protector. He'd be even faster if he wasn't wearing a knee brace. He could have easily thrown the flea-flicker into the endzone. I've seen nearly every game of his the last 3 years and he has more than enough arm strength. As a sophmore he only came in during obvious passing situations so he is a year behind in development. He missed spring practice last year due to the knee and was limited during the summer. He went to the LSU camp before his JR year and was mentioned by Rivals as a player to watch. He was getting some interest from LSU early in the process and TSD did an article on him because of it. Mississippi State was on the verge of offering him when he committed to Tech.

I saw Oliver against WM and wasn't that impressed. I don't know what he looks like against weak-arse Baton Rouge teams but against the only real team he faced he looked pretty average. All this hype he's getting reminds me of T. Broadway and he probably won't get an offer like Broadway.
