OrTre Smith is pretty confident about it.

Last season, he played eight snaps in his first two games. Then Deebo Samuel got hurt against Kentucky, and Smith averaged 49.1 yards a game the rest of the season as a starter.

Deebo is back, but Smith doesn’t imagine he’ll have to adjust too much.

“I don’t really see my role changing,” Smith said. “I still see myself getting the same amount of playing time. With Deebo back, maybe a little bit less.”
