With JLS having everything on the line, do y'all think he will burn some redshirts unnecessarily? We always hear, "Joe Blow freshman can help us on special teams." Well, it doesn't seem like our special teams are THAT great with or without using freshmen, so why waste a year. I hope he has a plan for the freshmen.

I've never thought about it like that, and that's an interesting question. I guess my answer would be no, I don't think they would burn a kid's redshirt unnecesarily. Their philosophy is to put the best guys out on the field, regardless of class.

They talk like Nate Holmes could be a game-changer as a return man, and from what I've seen, they're probably right. I'm guessing that's one of the guys you're referring to. He could help a little at running back, but could certainly provide a lift to the return game. He has rare speed.
