According to Bob C. - Mullen says Couch and Todd are getting first team reps this week.
But, of course, Dan only plays upperclassmen and won't play talent over experience or make adjustments.***

I dont see this being a good thing
Eh. It's a bye week and they need reps. I'm not sure that they are better than the guys we roll out right now even though they both have a higher ceiling than the guys we start. We'll see if Couch's light has turned on or not.
Dan has gotten better about playing the best players this year than he has in year's past- so kudos to him for changing.
So they're starting Saturday?****
Seriously though, this is probably good even if Dan is just trying to motivate the starters. It's better than doing nothing.
It can absolutely be a good thing if it allows Gray to move to slot.Quote:

Exactly. It's pretty evident that the guys ahead of them have had their chance and Gray just isn't comfortable outside the slot. Even if they are only slightly better, if it makes Gray better, it's a win.Quote:

BS...The Callaway kid will redshirt. I watched him play and he doesn't run routes well and takes plays off. Guidry is supposed to play immediately that's the reason for signing him. If Couch continues to improve he will stay on the field more. He has too many intangibles.Quote:

Tells me most likely you haven?t seen heath playQuote:
