Football:
If you read our wide receiver preview you already know that this group is potentially as good as any in the country. All they need to do differently from a season ago is, you know, catch the ball. The return of Shaun Nixon, a healthy Turp, and a couple of stud true freshmen should help with that.
Turpin, a junior wide receiver, was cleared to play football on July 17. He was held from spring practices after academic issues arose, per Head Coach Gary Patterson. He played in only eight games as a sophomore because of injuries and finished second on the team in all-purpose yards with 986.
