I think Dee Brown was as small or smaller than PTG. Anything is possible, but it's not likely. The important things is that he stays healthy and gives us the versatility in the offense that we need.
I think it's just an observation that so many kids have committed early this year and that Schools will come calling later to fill their spots. Cuts both ways. A lot of Schools are almost full, while we still have the spots.
If memory serves me right, Dee Brown was considerably bigger than PTG. I think he was listed at 6-feet or 6'1" and over 200 pounds.
Pitt did that to us, though I have no idea what year.
This will depend greatly on a decent passing game. We had success running because Nassib was burning the secondary for much of the year. To me at least, it is vital to have decent QB play in order for the run game to be this prolific. We also need to be playing with the lead allot. We won't have to wait long with the first two games we have to kick off the season.
1990, which was Marvin Graves first year starting. We had two ties in a row that year, Pittsburgh and Michigan State, both games that were given away. That blocked kick allowed Pitt led by Alex Van Pelt to tie it up with a touchdown and their own 2 point conversion. Very frustrating year to watch SU football with a couple of wins given away. Barely made it to the Aloha Bowl and Coach Mac was heading down I-90 to Foxboro shortly after.
But what an Aloha Bowl! Harbinger of things to come.
