Regardless from a 4 year starter should have better field awareness than to attempt to field a punt inside the 10. The coaches could've told Speedy to stay away from it but no one forced him to attempt to field the punt after being ran into.a CU player bumped into him right before the muff

Speaking of Terrell, does anyone else think he should be starting? I don't care where, but this guy seems to make plays when he is playing. Well, other than running into our punter....
You're right that the rule of thumb is inside the ten, but he wasn't. He'd have caught it w/o interference from Smith. And I agree VB, benching Speedy would be like putting the offense in Hirshman's hands. Not ready.
Hope Speedy is not hurt too bad. Bummer of a day for him returning to Ohio.
I respect the hell out of Speedy for his accomplishments, but....
If he's out an extended period, will there really be any drop off in production at the RB position? I'm wondering. Maybe it wouldn't be a bad thing to see a lot more of Jones and Ford? According to the depth chart, Ford has 20 lbs on Speedy and Jones, maybe that size would help the running game and actually make it more effective.
Jones is ready, we have depth at RB. Won't mind seeing more Zone blocking for Jones, the guy is an excellent cut back runner, good pass catcher also. If we can land Wes Brown and Davien Payne next year, our running game is going to be unstoppable.
Now all we have to worry about is that pesky OL.
He isn't the 215lb+ banger that you idealy want for a power running game but I am liking what I see of Jones, he doesn't dance in the hole, he hits it, he runs through tackles and he gives effort on every play. It is just a matter of time till he breaks some big hitters. He doesn't have a mastery of the offense like Speedy and isn't as complete in terms of blocking and recieving but I think it is time for him to get a solid shot along with a lot of the other young guys.
Now all we have to worry about is that pesky OL.
:lol:That's ok too. Allow to me list off OL players and assume they will also dominate the opposition. I saw lots of positive signs today. The future is looking good.

The OL actually did a relatively good job, the problem was the special teams.

A bye week would be great right about now.
