[The Blue Blur]

It wasn't in the video but I've heard that Smith admitted his shoulder wasn't 100% & would never be 100% again. I've not been a fan of Smith & an advocate of Towles from Day 1.

The QB situation could be interesting. I wonder if it would be a good idea to redshirt Towles &/or Whitlow this year. Leave Phillips on the active roster incase, Smith goes down & only pull the redshirt of Whitlow if Smith is forced to miss significant action then. Then redshirt Phillips & Barker in 2014. Leaving a Junior & two sophomores on the active roster for 2014 season.

2015 move Whitlow to WR/Wildcat QB, then let the other four have a QB competition & redshirt the incoming freshman QB. That way you'll have a QB in every class, allowing us to redshirt the incoming QB every year. I know it sounds strange to do something like this for the upcoming season. Despite optimism surrounding the program, I still feel pestimistic about this upcoming season as we still have a lot of Joker's players, lack depth & the toughest schedule in the nation. I also don't know how Towles & his family would feel about starting out the season with a redshirt again.
