I saw Hutcherson in for a few plays in the first game, so he's probably still eligible for a red shirt at this point. Graham is the only true freshman I can think of off the top of my head. I heard JT Gray might be too good to keep off the field this season, but we have a lot of depth at LB. I'm sure another one or two will play at some point, but being able to red shirt this past year's recruiting class in almost its entirety is huge for the future. Huge for the development of those guys who are already talented. We need a QB to step up in the near future and our best years could still be ahead of us. I'm hoping 4 star QB commit Chason Virgil is that guy. He's tearing it up as a Senior in 5A football out in Texas.
With Dak as a senior, we could have another opportunity at a great season just like this year if young guys step up at the skill positions.
Thinking about it, with LSU and Bama not having an upper tier QB for the next couple years (basing on what I've seen on their roster currently. Obviously Coker and Harris could end up being great, but let's stick with what we've seen) and our Defense not being far behind them and having a lot of young talent, our window for success like what South Carolina has had could be opening. If we can get a little bit better in recruiting, I can see it happening.
I wrote a post a last year comparing Mullen and Spurrier's tenure through their first few years and they were very, very similar in recruiting and wins/losses statistics. In time Mullen will become a great coach in my opinion. Spurrier is almost twice Dan's age. If he can keep it going and get better each year and improve in recruiting a few spots, we might can ease our way into the upper tier of the SEC like South Carolina, always being a little less talented than Bama and LSU, but having a good enough team and coaching to be able to beat them.
Hail State.
Feeling woolly this week.
