I think most of us are in agreement that our impact players are underutilized. We can also probably agree that the players that we want to see out there most are as follows:
QB Tyler Hansen
HB Darrell Scott
WR Markques Simas
WR Andre Simmons
HB Rodney Stewart (a tip of the hat for the c-note he put up against wyo)
I'm sure we'd also like to see more of Will Jefferson and Brian Lockridge worked into the gameplan. Can we get a definitive ruling on why these guys (generally) are sitting in favor of immortal legends like Sumler, Espy, Ebner... etc? I'm perplexed. I've tried to look at this from any point of view that might justify starting Espy over Simmons for example. Is he that much better? What about the "injuries" that our fan favorites are constantly battling? This is division 1 football yes? Playing through pain is part of football on every level. I don't understand how Scott could have been so solid last week (he certainly wasn't overworked, he had 12 carries) but now he's so "injured" he doesn't play a snap. Same for Simas, I know he played a couple of snaps out there but after all the build up and all the hype how did they not try to get him the ball 8-9 times at least? On to Simmons... the guy was beastly on the JC level and was supposed to immediately upgrade our WR corps. He's got 1 catch in three games. What in the hell is going on here? Does anyone have any insider info on what the coaching staff sees in our army of walk-ons that they don't see in our talented players?
