Devrin Young

If Young learns to hold onto the ball he will be an all SEC return man next season. He is explosive and makes a quick decision soon as he catches the ball.

I love the idea of the little bubble screen to Devrin or Rajion.

Those two on the field have to make defenses worry.

That ball looks photoshopped.

IIRC, Devrin dropped atleast one screen pass thrown to him.

He did and so did every other receiver including a couple that would have been TD's, specifically Rivera's. All in all you will have some drops unless your talking other world players like hunter and I've been overall pleased with our catching versus last year.

Devrin Young has played one game as a true freshman and had a fumble and a dropped screen pass. I'm sure the kid really wanted to make a play on offense to prove he can be more then just a special teams player so on the screen pass he looked up field and started to run before catching it. I don't think that means he can't catch a football and he will learn from the drop. Obviously the fumble wasn't good but it's amazing that half of Volnation have already labeled him as having fumbling issues. Not to mention the ones that were already saying he's injury prone. I was extremely pumped after watching Devrin's first game. It's exciting to think we may actually want to watch punt returns instead just praying our punt returner catches the ball. Our kickoff returns haven't been horrible but if Devrin can get us an average start at the 30-35 instead of 20-25 that will make a huge difference over the course of a season.

agree... as a true freshman in his first game he made a couple mistakes, lets not give him labels over that. or forget how long it has been since I has seen us have a decent punt/kickoff return like he did.

I hope he runs one back on GA so bad, to see a local knoxville kid make a difference in an SEC game would just be amazing

For the first time in a while I got excited to see the opposing team punt! That kickoff return where he got to the corner was awesome. He has some jets.

It isn't like they have something to base this off of.

He had trouble with ball security in high school. Dooley had already tried to address his fumbling problems before the game. The truth is, he has ball security issues.

AMEN. I closed my eyes and prayed every punt return last year.

Why would two players who have never done anything worry the of opponent?

Anyone else notice that Nigell Mitchell Thornton missed a block (looked to be on purpose) - the guy he missed was the one that barely nicked him causing him to lose his balance going into the punter. I would think he could have eluded the punter otherwise - hope the coaches noticed too!

This is just silly.

I've watched the play over and over again, if thorton blocks his guy, Devrin scores, thorton had a clear shot at effing his world up ans pussied out

Yeah, at 0:26 in this highlight video you can see he clearly could have leveled the Buffalo player and for some reason didn't.
