In bold are the guys with NCAA experience. 2 guys. That's it.

The guy we just lost had over 1,000 yards last season.

The guy we are counting on is coming off an ACL tear and is being backed up by a true freshman.

The other guy we are counting on is a Junior College transfer who is being backed up by Zach Rogers.

Looks better than Alabama's WR corp last year

Haven't heard much about Cody Blanc, interesting they pencil him in there as Hunter's backup.

 

[Catbone]

Zach Rogers? oh god no

nothin' wrong with crying on a thursday.

 

[volinexile17]

Sigh. And I was so excited about this season.

 

[Volfootball55]

This.

 

[kohlrums]

Looks better than Alabama's WR corp last year

What do you even say to this?

 

[lilesrt]

I wonder what fans predictions are now? Still 9 wins?

 

[King Webbsticles]

Looks better than Alabama's WR corp last year

Definitely a comparable situation.

Oh, without the whole Heisman-candidate-at-RB thing and having an OL that knows how to run block.

 

[fade route]

Interesting that Blanc is in the 2 deep now ahead of Croom and Bowles.

Damn you DeAnthony Arnett....

Interesting is not really the word I would use. But I am willing to see how it plays out.

We could really benefit from having Arnett on the roster.

 

[Catbone]

We went from WR U to WR who?! (almost)

 

[SpringBokVol]

Damn you DeAnthony Arnett....

Agreed.

 

[Volgrad98]

Read this on another forum and agree completely, our run game just became the deciding factor on how successful we are this year and whether or not Coach Dooley will survive the season.

 

[dooleydiesel28]

Agreed.

Him leaving is all of a sudden a huge blow...

 

[seaofORANGE22]

Jacob Carter's gonna play

 

[vol4life8]

Blanc is on the two deep probably cause he knows more of the play book since he went though spring practice and the others did not.

 

[UToverload]

So? Sounds like it's time for somebody else to shine.

That is the nature of college football, where you only have four years to play.

 

[Il Principo]

Tyler Bray had better be really good and stay healthy.

 

[sjt18]

Blanc is on the two deep probably cause he knows more of the play book since he went though spring practice and the others did not.

.... and apparently because he has very, very good speed, weighs over 200 lbs, and can catch.
