I worry about replacing Center Braxton Cave. I understand Connor Hanratty may take over there. I expect that the Secondary will be much deeper next year with projected starters from this year back from injuries. Will we ever see much of Collinsworth? Will GA III develop into a hard running RB or will he continue to be a home run or strike out runner. Riddick and Wood were pretty good at picking up blitzes. I hope the new crew does as well. The ASU game might be one where some of us get together. I went to a Lions-Cowboys game there last year and was really impressed with the stadium. (Maybe it was the giant TV with the Cowgirls on it. ) We had great senior leadership this year. I know that Sid has always said how important that is. I hope that next year's team continues with the work ethic of this year. We were 1 game away from a NC this year. (No not Monday's, the Baylor win over KSU. If K. State had won that game we could have beaten them in the NC game.) If we learned anything from this year it was that "ya never know when the season starts how it will end up."
Bama ran GAIII down like he was three-legged mule. I am beginning to think he has great track speed but not as fast in a football scenario.
George, Bama ran down every RB who was wearing a gold helmet. FWIW, I believe that if GAIII learns to run as hard north and south as he runs fast, he will develop into an outstanding RB. He has the size. In my experience (including myself many years ago), a fast RB has to be taught to run N & S. I'm guessing that GAIII was such a dominant RB in HS that his coach didn't bother with that aspect of his development. That's probably true of most great HS RBs. Look at how well Theo Riddick has developed as a power runner in his 4 years. He gets it. Some guys never do. Same with Jonas Gray.
