Who's your biggest weapon outside of DeAndre? Or is he not your biggest weapon?
he worries me

DeAndre is our biggest weapon, but sometimes he takes plays off. He was non-existent against USC. Not b/c he was outmatched, but b/c he didn't give much effort. If the ball isn't coming to him early he gets frustrated and quits. That is something our coaching staff is working on. If he isn't ready to play his butt sits on the bench. However I think it started to sink in, b/c he was a new man the next game. When he is giving it his all, noone in the country can cover him. It just depends on which #5 shows up tomorrow. I'm having a hard time picking out the number 2 threat, but I will give a few with a brief discription.
Kendrick Hardy - He is a redshirt freshman who got his first appearance last week. He is another highly touted athlete who I trust will become a huge weapon in the future. He couldn't seem to keep his balance last week, but still averaged ~4.2 ypc. He is a power back who loves to lay a lick on people. He was nicknamed "the mule" in high school, and was a state power lifting champ.
V.J. Floyd - He is our most experienced back, and will take a good chunk of the snaps prob.
For the most part we just have a ton of WR who are all talented.
Quentin Pierce is prob our #2 WR. He is actually DeAndre's cousin. He seems to always give 100% and for that was awarded 1st string over DeAndre to start the year.
We have some athletes with blazing speed like Mookie Assad (WR), and Hester (RB)
Korey Williams is a good linebacker, but has not been himself so far this year.
Our DBs were down right embarrassing last year, but we have more depth there this year. Possibly the most promising is Gerald West.
Jamie Collins is a beast on the defensive side of the ball, however he is settling into a new position at outside linebacker this year (played as a DB last year). He was recruited as an ATH and that is exactly what he is. He is probably the most athletic player on the team.
This is Jamie showing off his athletic ability last year.

Thanks for the response...looks like you've got some serious talent...I knew this would be a good game as soon as I heard that we were going down there...then we had a close one at Memorial and I knew for sure it'd be fun

you need to use more breaks between your text, makes it hard to read when you don't.
I remember DeAndre from last year. Dude is a TE with WR speed.

Sorry about that. I've been typing between finishing up some work.
...Off topic but BTW the video you guys have on your homepage is freaking awesome! I wish we had someone who could put together videos like that for us.
Ever since we scheduled this game, I've been worried. All I can think of is the other Friday games of late and then mizzou's ass getting handed to them by Troy.

South Carolina took the banter out of us two weeks ago. We were expecting much better. Players hopefully have gotten over it,......fans have not.
