Unexpected Contributor for 08'
I was thinking of next year and who might help our team that maybe didn't do as much last year... My pick is Boom Herron
I saw a picture of him where he's in uniform at the NCG and he looks bigger than I thought! He's got that Mike Hart type of look to him, and with us not getting much help from our back up running backs this year I'd say he could really help us out. IMO, Saine is such a talent, but something he seems to lack is vision. He seems to put his head down and go, which is fine if there's a big hole, but he seemed to struggle when there wasn't an open hole.
Now I don't know how Danny Herron will do for OSU' but comparing Saine's/Herron's High School video I thought Boom showed more capability when it came to being patient and finding holes. I just have a hunch that Boom will give us some production on the ground and scoring us some TD's ever so often. I'm not saying Saine will fall on the depth chart but that Saine will be used more in a slash RB/WR type of role.

I'm not sure Herron will get enough carries to be a huge contributor.

no I dont' expect him to be a huge contributor.. More like 200-400 yards 4 TD's with a 5.8-6 YPC average.
With Beanie, Mo, and B.Saine also there he wont' get much work but I think he will really do well in a limited role. I think MoW will become our designated KR guy and thats how Herron will get some work.
As for defense... maybe a guy like Brian Rolle or Thad Gibson

I think Jake Ballard will play a larger role next year.
With Beanie and the running game being so strong, play-action might be very good this year....

Both great points... Forgot about them both. With Dane he could be a very welcomed addiction in the slot, but I must say Ballard does sound like a GREAT sleeper pick right now as well. You're right with the way we run the ball the PA or TE drag should really be there next year.
Does anyone see any true freshman contributing on either side of the ball next year?? If we get Pryor he's an obvious, but what about Lamar Thomas or Devier Posey?
