Redshirted Freshmen

[Biggie_Smalls]

Since some have dismissed this season, what are our chances next year?

 

I'm starting this thread because I found something on one of our redshirted freshman. He is #13 on the list.

By all accounts at the home opener, these guys look to be bigger/better athletes than the guys on the field. Especially this Marcel Ngachie kid (based on video I've seen - not sure if he is a red shirt or if he is even on campus yet - I've only gotten really into the FB program this season as my number 1 UA sport is BB).

He's here...has a bit of mohawk thing going.

And he isn't redshirting.

What's he doing?

And he isn't redshirting.

 

What's he doing?

 

Playing....#32.

I think his first game was the opener, and then he played against CCSU, so mathematically he should be banned from redshirting.

 

4th quarter against URI he came flying in on a sack, but I didn't see much against CCSU.

I could have sworn I saw him in a purple jump suit against URI on the sideline...maybe I'm crazy.

Yes; I agree that the redshirted athletes look bigger than the ones on the field. I've seen Ngachie's film and it's impressive. Since he's not redshirting, they should utilize him more...way more!!

Certifiable...Wha-Bam!

I'm not buying it...

I'm not buying it...

 

The only reason I wanted to watch the replay was to watch his speed in getting to the quarterback in the fourth quarter.

Interestingly enough, there were no sacks in the CCSU game.

 

No sacks...and "no comment" from me.

Wait. This kid looked BEAST on video but he's been so quiet I didn't even know he was playing? Either College ball is WAY different than HS, or our coaches suck at putting players in position to succeed. On video, he looked like someone who would step right in and play a major role. Are they just playing him a small % of the time because he's a freshmen?

I think it is a bit early to expect too much, but the kid has played in two games as a true freshman and he has a tackle for a loss in each game.

 

One thing I noticed in the CCSU game was how many substitutions were made on the defensive side. It seemed to be high, but maybe I just never keyed on it before.

 

Anyone have any thoughts on it?

New defensive coordinator....... have anything to do with it?
