I know that Peters is on the same talent level as Connor. I'm looking for a serious answer, Could they be any worse?

YES! They can. This game isnt all about talent. Diaz says that our Saeties are the key to our scheme, and they have to be smart, well versed, and able to communicate. Thats an awful lot to ask of 2 True Freshmen, agree? Too many of you guys think, "good player in highschool = good player at MSU on day 1".....but it isnt that simple. Especially at key positions. Thats why guys like Coman, Jackson, Market, etc are playing.....because they are experienced, wont get rattled, and are used to the speed of college football. AND they're talented. They may not have as much talent as the ones you mention, but they are ahead in the other categories, so they start.

Thats why we could easily see those freshmen's PT increase as they get more used to the speed of the game this season. Its just not as cut and dry as yall try to make it.
