I just don't remember enough success to warrant injuring your best player.

Let me jog your memory.
Big part of winning that game. Got the icing TD, and the position for the tying points before that. We don't win the game without him. He got yards and yards that game.
Teams stopped kicking to him after this performance.
He only had the job for about half the season and showed enough in one game to make an impression. I do not think it is a stretch to say he can get better.

Agree he will get better if given the duty.
Sefo calling his own facemask and completing the pass is just amazing.
That facemask signaling from Sefo was legendary.

He had 2 legendary plays last season...the TD against UM on a bad foot. He was a beast!!
****ing exactly this you ****ing uniform pussies!The obsession with fashion among college football fans is troubling to me. I can honestly say that I give zero ****s about doing new uniform designs or what style Buffs hat our coaches decide to wear at practice. Carry on, though. It's clearly very important.

Right. And you quit being a homer.
This.
You don't have to play him a lot on offense to get into the heads of the opponents. Just enough to give them a solid distraction in preparation. Use him as a decoy and give him one or two shots to get the ball in the open field and make a game changing play.
We have enough depth at CB that they can selectively get him a few plays of rest there so as not to over use him.
If he's up to it, I say let him spin. Risky yeah but might be a big boost for the team. Hell, we've had others do it in the past.
yep. The more the opposing D has to prepare for the better.
And if a guy like Oliver can give you a couple TDs or big gains it can be significant.
MM has mentioned multiple times that he prefers someone who secures the ball on punt returns over anything. He benched his son because of that. I'd be surprised if they trotted someone else out other than Oliver in the opener, unless they absolutely prove they can secure the ball at all times.
Well. No ****.
Talking about big production in a very limited number of plays.
Kind of like Michigan used Peppers. He only had a few plays per game on offense, I'd use Oliver even less than they did Peppers. Design is though that they either pay him a lot of attention meaning somebody else is open or that you get him the ball in space and his athletic ability gets you big chunks of yardage. A lot of big games are decided by one or two big plays so this gives you a chance to change a game in a few plays.

Is Bennion on the radar at all? Haven't seen any mention of him which is weird considering it's a position of special interest with our depth. Guessing he's a non factor at this point ??
I think it's not well known at this point and too early to tell. He's been mentioned a few times so I think he's in the mix for some PT, depending on what some of the young guys do. You got DerekMac, Coleman, Hasselbach, Mathewes, Sparaco, Bennion and Callier all seeing a lot of work. I think you will see Bennion play on ST and perhaps against some power running teams. Like Mathewes, he is the last of the guys recruited to play 4-3.
I think we will know by the end of September if he's going to be a factor (ever) here or more likely to find more success in a different system somewhere. Sparaco seems destined to play as a True Frosh.
I'm disappointed that Bennion is still only at 235 lbs. Even to play OLB he's 15-20 lbs light. And I always thought his future was in the Kafovalu role, which he's about 60 lbs light for.
No fans or media at this one. I think this is the most important scrimmage where they won't go so vanilla. (Last scrimmage is open to students.) What the coaches see today will cause movement on the depth chart and determine areas of focus for the last 2 weeks of camp practices ahead of game week.
Well ****, dude. Never thought of that before. I'm glad you are here.
Playmakers can either be put in space and get a big gain or they can be a decoy and get a big gain that way. And a big play can change a game.
****! I'm gonna write that down.
If I remember correctly, Jackson single-handedly destroyed our comeback effort (specifically that pick that looked like it could tear a human in half). Just not sure I would call that over-rated.
Irwin looks very quick. He's moving very well.
That one is on the QB. Late and underthrown! Is Cody back in town?
