Fall Camp

Submitted by umbig11 on

Some well known intel to kick it off. Speight will start fall camp as QB1. His spot to lose. RB order will be Evans, Higdon, Isaac. Honestly, Higdon is much closer to RB1 than expected. He may take it away altogether with a strong camp. 5 Fr. in the two deep. Two OL getting a huge opportunity and WR is pretty obvious. 4 plus WR sets are in the works.

fully expect Vert to start, Harbaugh even mentioned him in B1G media days this week.

other outside spot will be more of a competition, I'm expecting Washington/Long to lock down playing time. I think one of the freshmen will have the opportunity to play also, I'm really hoping Ambry Thomas gains some strength - he'd be a huge athletic upgrade to B. Watson from day 1.

Don't worry so much about long. He's athletic, and will be playing in man to man which will help to minimize mental mistakes. If we were running a zone i would be terrified for both as it is very difficult for young guys to disguise coverages and keep track of the different zones they need to cover on different plays. Much easier for the two of them to just go out there and dual their assignments.

My own personal opinion is that that isn't going to matter. I think there will be so many receiving options between TE, WR, H-back/Fullback that one guy will not have to carry the load.

Also. MOAR PLEASE!

Who are the two Freshman OL? Ruiz and Stueber, right? Or is another name popping up?

I've always been higher on Higdon than his playing time. Is he closer to making it a thunder/lightening RB1/RB1a type deal? Or are you saying he is closer to passing Evans and getting DeVeon-Smith-type usage?

That's five freshmen in the offensive 2-deep, right? Something like Ruiz, Steuber, dpj, Black and Collins/Martin?

and giving us a few tidbits.  Think it will be an interesting camp with some good position battles Speight as the incumbent should be his job to lose, but would not be shocked if he is supplanted. Let's hope any Freshman in the two deep are ready to contribute.

umbig11, why do you post af rivals ? I understood you to be a wealthy person, so the little bit of money rivals pays can't be worth it. Can it ? I'm just confused why. If this is too personal just ignore, obviously !
