0304..... I didn't mean to imply that he wasn't working hard.... My point was, fast or not, if your not out there trying to improve, every single day,..... learning the program, showing the coaches you WANT to know the plays, you WANT to contribute to the program, you won't be able to hold a light to those WHO do have the experience, talent, and time in. BY no means am I saying that the young man won't play... who's to say but Coach... Peyton is an exception to the rule... He played outstanding last year as a freshmen.... BUT, look back through the years...... You can about count on one hand how many freshmen have come in and obtained a starting position. VERY few!! Hopefully this will explain a little better what I tried to get across in my earlier post!!

I knew what you meant.. and you're exactly right -- Gary stepped up in '08 late in the season and did a good job and Payton took over this year and did really good but both of those guys work hard.

Those two are gonna have good years, got experience yet still young, excited to see them. Especially Gary, he's been working so hard. Think about this -- Gary has played against MaxPreps #1 ranked rushing team (despite it not having everyone's stats, still was ranked #1), he's played against an Ivan McGlone coached team, he's played against Tennessee's backup FB (Fugate), he's played against a D1 quarterback in Burchett, plus more that I'm missing and he's not even a Junior yet!
