dede westbrook is a problem. he's got game-breaking speed. i'm most concerned about him in our matchup. zero fear of perine. that dude looks like he's runnin in molasses. is mixon gonna pass him in the lineup and get most of the carries? i know he was more highly recruited, and if he has speed, he'll be a problem to be wary of as well.
We just got dude who played opposite Dede Westbrook last year. He signed with USF, but couldn't get in for some reason, so he signed with us.
Samaje doesn't look fast bc of his build, but he rarely gets caught from behind. He's down 5lbs Stoops says and he runs a 4.4ish if if I recall. He doesn't have a quick first step, but the power he has makes up for that.
As far as carries it'll be interesting. We're going back to the air-raid
offense this year, but Stoops says we'll still take advantage of our RB depth. Word is Mixon is just as good of a receiver as he is a RB....so he'll probably see the field more as a pass catching back and run occasionally. They say he's as good or better than advertised.
Daniel Brooks is a lightning bug tho. Think KSU Darren Sproles. This new offense really fits him, Rodney Anderson is said to be really good as well.....he's been on campus since Feb.
