Expected to be 100% and not be on a snap count?

10-12 carries. Don’t tell Ryan day

But your qb hasn’t even started a game.  We also have a bunch of guys who aren’t considered returning starters, but have played a ton of snaps that were transfers or backups.  Many believe our JR TE transfer from Cal will need to make a decision after this yr around going to NFL or coming back for sr yr.  Same for our backup edge Brad Spence.  Our starting C started as a true freshman, but was injured as a soph.  Our runningback, Cedric Baxter started as a true freshman and was called the top back in the country by Nick Saban going into his soph year before tearing ligaments in his knee.  He’s back this year and provides an inside running threat that we didn’t have last year.  We’ll see how truly “back” he is in game 1.  Our starting safety, Derek Williams was a 5 star that started as a true freshman.  He tore his ACL last year.  He’s back and supposedly looking great.  We have another freak safety, McDonald, who wasn’t considered a starter, but played a ton of reps and started some games last year.   Practice reports have raved about the DT depth from transfers that were not part of program last year.  One was a freshman all-am at Syracuse last year and based upon reports from Gerry Hamilton, from this site he will be a guy that will only be here for this year and next before he comes out early for the nfl draft.   Cole Brevard was hon ment all big ten last year at DT.  Our starting wr, Ryan Wingo wasn’t considered a starter.  He made a lot of plays as a true freshman.  He’s a great athlete and has looked great in practice the last 2 weeks according to reports.  LT Trevor Goosby, who is currently out of practice, started against Texas A&M and Georgia and ASU played a lot vs Clemson when RT Williams, a draft pick went out.  He did so well against NFL draft picks that many are thinking he may have a decision this year with coming out early for the NFL draft.  He’s a great athlete.

UT as recruited well, like Ohio State, and has done a good job of plugging spots of need with the transfer portal.  
 

 

No doubt Sayin a snot seen any meaningful snaps.  Arch certainly has but the two starts he had were against horrible defenses.  I posted his stats and those defenses rankings earlier in this thread.  Regardless both should be ready as Iron sharpens iron and they are both getting reps against what should be top ten defenses all fall camp.  I think Day will let Sayin sling it early and often with the playmakers he has to distribute to.  Question is does he have enough time to read his progressions without getting rattled and can he play as close to mistake free football as possible.  Find out soon.
