One more thing.
Could Grantham actually get away without dropping some Tray Matthews talk to get fans excited?
“He actually knocked two guys out in three scrimmages,” Grantham said. “The only problem is one of them was a defensive guy. …We’ll work on that with him.”
It’s getting to the point where if he doesn’t kill somebody in the Clemson game, we’re gonna be disappointed.
Jack Tatum redux….only bigger.
Please god don’t let him get suspended for the South Carolina game bc of a targeting hit.
My concern as well. With all the public talk about him, he will have a target on his back by the officials and won’t get those borderline calls. They will be looking for plays to send a message. Just play the game on the field, all this talk worries me. We recently had a new player with all these comparisons and that led to exactly nothing. Love that he hit the ground running and all the positives coming out on him, now stifle it.
“led to exactly nothing” except an awesome nickname which are always hit and miss anyway
That particular player was a total whiff. Show me, don’t tell me.
I think the most significant aspect of that article was the point that could NOT be dismissed as pre-season PORN. It was the point about the number of scholarship players on the roster on defense. While an obvious retort would be to question how much we can expect to get from frosh, 3 of those players come via JUCO, and three of the early enrollees have already won the trust of the coaches (wilkerson, matthews, and carter). This 2013 class has a very Bama 2008 feel to it in terms of the way it infused a program with a lot of talent.
Now I’m breathing hard!
TM is a lock for the Heisman. Sorry Clowney.
