With him being the most athletic of the three qbs, I’d let Hopkins get some first string reps in early fall camp. See if there’s anything there.

I hope they make that decision after fall camp. Who’s the best player at the end of fall camp? We redshirted Johnston and got away with it. Had Erdley been hurt, we would’ve been F’d.

+1
Don't need a Ball St situation.

Not to derail, it's a stretch that S. Brown starts at RB too.

I don't know about a stretch as I think he will get every opportunity to keep his spot, but he will be challenged. He will have to get better. Sometimes he wasn't as physical as he needed to be. He also has to get better catching the football.

Coach will play the best guys. Some of our guys have established themselves as the best option. Sorry, but they won't be dethroned. Keep dreaming.

You really think it's "a stretch" that he starts? That's a whole bunch different than saying he will be challenged for the job. I understand you often just say stuff to get a reaction. But, that's just stupid.

Your right. How about I'm betting he will get red shirted?
I do think Spenser will be pushed some but I'll say its a stretch he won't start.
I'm looking forward to Thunder and Lightning in the backfield.
I like it. I hope he's a redshirt, because that's means it's a real solid situation at quarterback. I am excited to see what he can do at UAB, though.
I totally agree that Spencer will be pushed. I think you have the prediction right (instead of the other prediction). I do like the potential running back depth. Definitely need some Lightning in the backfield.

Kid has to grow up quick, he was scared ****less in that Florida game. I think if they hold a true competition he might be beaten by both Street and Davis(pending). Pass catching and pass blocking is the key. All three were great instate high school RB's. Street and Davis looked better seemed more like naturals.
When does the recruiting period heat back up? Coates and Morgan are pretty good backs hope we bring in both.

Dead period for recruiting ends on Jan. 11, then it's a sprint to signing day. Look forward to see what happens.

Spencer was a freshman all-american. I'll be pretty surprised if he isn't our starter. He has things he can improve on for sure and I think his carries should decrease next year with more options in the backfield.

Decreased carries is a good thing. I thought he was worn down by the end of the year. Hopefully, he has the same amount of yards (or more) with less carries.

Less carries would be a good thing. So would a true, spread/tempo offense.........time f to exploit some mismatches! #outwitemall
