He'll still be bigger in the upper body. I can't wait to see how Jay Graham crafts Watson.

Watson could be the key for our running game this year.if the hammy heals.

He could be, but he needs development. I would not stick him out there before Alden Hill, or Borque. We can develop Watson and turn him into a flash back. We need to redshirt watson; he could end up being our main man in 4 years.

With the addition of Watson and Patterson, I'm frikin stoked about the speed we r gonna have on the field

I'm not expecting much from Watson in the run game. I think it would be a bad sign if UT is relying on him much in the run game this season.

Exactly. Our lack of depth the last few years has left us with a case of Freshmansavioritis.

It is the belief that each incoming freshman is leaps and bounds better than upperclassmen, who were leaps and bounds better than upperclassmen when they were freshmen. It has a subconscious effect of believing there is a tremendous drop-off in talent from your first year to your following years despite logic and statistics proving otherwise.

The fact is, very, very few players have a huge impact on the game as true freshmen, especially if there is a solid base of upperclassmen. I personally hope we are in position to redshirt Borque and Watson, and would not be the least bit surprised if we do.

The other way to look at it would be that if we are relying on Watson, then he's showed enough to be on the same level as lane, Neal, and young, if not above them. I don't see him playing much either, if at all. I guess my point is, if any freshman is out on the field, they've shown enough to the coaches and they're deserving to be out there on the field. Watson is a wild card to me. I think he'll either be automatic redshirt material or with his speed, he could push for playing time if he's ready. I will say it's definitely more likely he gets the redshirt.

If he can hold on to the football you'd have to believe Dools will give him a serious look at KR. He's not been afraid to play freshmen because he's had to. I wonder if that will change this year, and he will revert to what a lot of coaches do- take the safe route? physically, you'd think Q and CP would give you the most dangerous option at KR, but a lot of other factors come into play.. Do they fumble, are they committed to learning the play book, do they practice hard, etc.
