LOVE IT: Eight...count them...eight (!) true freshmen cracked the two-deeps for the Miami of Ohio game. I truly think this is more a testament to an upgrade in talent rather than upperclassmen giving their positions away. Competition is healthy and while I don’t expect many, if any, of the true freshmen to be major contributors this season, any upperclassmen that may have been lapped by the newbies should have a fire lit under them by now. The biggest surprise to me was Manny Rugamba getting the I-still-don’t-know-what-it-means “/” with Josh Jackson. Seeing as Jackson was likely the heir apparent to Desmond King, I think it’s awesome to see him getting pushed.
LOVE IT or LEAVE IT: Football in Australia!
