Sounds like some freshman will be stepping it up. Hopefully we can get a couple that will be 4-year starters and play a huge rule on the defense.

I just really, really, really! want to see Prince returning kicks whether its Punts, Kickoffs, or both.

Theres no way we should expect him to be out there though... they are already saying for how far along he is could be considered a miracle.

I agree, but I think that if somehow he can be practicing in the next 10 days, there is a shot he could play vs. USC. If he can't, and no one else steps up, it could be a very long day for Grixby & NU.

I think it was far-fetched to think he would go right away vs. Nevada, something Cosgrove said would happen a couple months ago. That said, I really do believe that they'll hold him out vs. Nevada, work him in during the WF game, then give him significant time vs. USC.

 

One more thing: I love when coaches talk about "mental reps". We used to talk about them at my school, and let's just put it this way: there is no substitute for the real thing. Mental reps are nearly useless, you need to be on the field. Obviously his injury prevents this, but I still love the verbage. It's another great coaching saying, mental reps.

Ya give him all the time he needs to be ready. Risking another injury even for the USC game is not worth the whole season.

Hack, do you watch "The Twilight Zone" before games? Just curious.

And to quote the great Dan Patrick. "He's listed as day to day, but really, aren't we all?"

I would agree, there is no sense in running the risk of re-injury. Fall camp offers little time to repair and rest muscles let alone injuries.

The first priority I would think would be to make sure he is 100% ready physically, the mental aspect for a player who has played JUCO and been here for 3 years now is of little importance.

- Major Culbert will be competing as a RB in Fall Camp

 

I've said it 100 times....Just don't agree with this.
