Okay, wanted to get some discussion on the two deep for the offense going. If things go normally, the SUAD will release a two deep for offense and defense tomorrow.
Here is what I think we will see for the offensive unit:
QB: Devito/Culpepper
RB: Pierce/Jordan
OWR: Harris/Alford
OWR: Queeley/Hendrix
IWR: N Johnson/Pena
IWR: S Johnson/C Jackson
TE Hackett/Benson
OT: Servais/Petry
OT: Bergeron/Barclay
OG: Tisdale/Froumy
OG: P Davis/Ilaoa
C: Vetterello/Kosciol
PK: Szmyt/J Williams
P: J Williams/Cooney
KO: J Williams
LS: Bolinsky/Kelly
PR: T Williams
KOR: Tucker/Pena
With all the injuries, depth on the OL is alarmingly low. Gotta hope our starters can stay healthy until the starting guards and the top backup at OT can play. This is going to be one of the keys for the season.
I think we all know who the top 3 are at OWR and IWR. I am guessing Alford and Pena are the 4th at these two positions, but these are just guesses.
I think Pierce will be listed as the 1st team RB but Jordan is going to get the most playing time. Great players find a way to get to the playing field. I think that is happening here. Lots of freshmen on the two deep at the skilled positions. Let’s hope they are as good as I think they are.
Hoping J Williams kicks off and shows a really strong leg. Sterling did a great job punting but his work kicking off was also a big reason our special teams were...well, special. It is always a concern when you end up relying on a true frosh to punt. Let’s hope James has what it takes. I know our staff really likes him.
If we end up with Trill and Ticker returning punts and kickoffs respectively, it is going to make for must see TV when these guys touch the ball.
