Didn't see an official thread for this year's team so here it is.

According to the new UT beat writer, true freshman Terry Swanson is emerging to become the No.2 RB. That would mean the kid has some serious talent because we bring back a bunch of young backs that showed spurts of high potential last season.

Also, don't we have 4 senior starting offensive linemen? Might even be all 5...good thing we stocked up on OL recruits for the 2015 class.

not in toledo to watch them practice and give insight, but excited for the season. i really like the defensive potential of the squad. lot of depth and ability at the line and linebacker spots. with the trend to high octane no huddle offenses, the ability to play with depth on defense is a big asset.

Swanson won't be the 2 to start the season. We are too deep for that to be a reality. But by the end of the season, with a possible injury??? He could wiggle into some carries.

is practice open to the public?

And we are playing three QB. SIGH....At least that is what Nick Piotrowicz tweeted yesterday

We need to knock that crap off. One QB. One.

Thanks for the information. This is great news about Swanson showing up big. Hunt is a proven back, while Jones-Moore and Remy have shown some flashes of potential with Jones-Moore leading those two from what I have seen. Who was the back from Florida that came in as a freshman and did a great job? Morgan Williams I believe. Bummer he only lasted a year. Trinity Dawson produced as a freshman as well, but the talent level was low when they came in. Swanson showing up big like this is great news considering so many recruited backs never pan out, or only pan out late in there career. I don't think UT is all that deep with proven solid backs, even though there is talent and potential.

Thanks for the update.

Morgan Williams was from Canton McKinley, he had a huge game as a Redshirt Frosh against Miami. Was a solid contributor throughout the remainder of his career, but was out performed by Adonis Thomas.

We have 6 QBs on the roster, not counting Macon (who was recruited as a QB as I recall) and 1 of the freshman WR who was a HS QB. As far as I'm concerned, coach can rotate all 8 of them, if we can come even remotely close to the offensive production of the 2011 team, when we rotated 2.

I expect at least a few people will disagree :)

By the way, the media guide is out: http://www.utrockets.com/ViewArticle.dbm...M_ID=18000

You should try spitting facts. Cuz that came straight from MC.

LOL...now that would be interesting.

Man, this kid can hit the holes with some attitude. A bigger Adonis Thomas would be real nice

P.S. here is an article where Swanson is being appreciated, but no mention of him being the number 2 RB. Possible, but not likely with other talent we have coming back.

And the tweet about Swanson being number 2:

Looks legit to me!

Who were the 3 baby backs? Trinity Dawson, another RB name I do not care to mention, and the kid from Florida who was the #1 back of the three - all were freshman. I knew it wasn't Morgan after I posted, but the name is similar.

Astin Martin

Or was it the kid who got busted for trying to break into the wrong house and ended up rattling the door know of an off duty police officer. That one was classic.

Ill put money on it. No 3 QB SYSTEM! Just because more than one gets in a game doesnt mean its a 3 qb system

My guess is Quentin Gibson and Sherman Grant.
