I'm really interested to see the amount of plating time these two will receive in the bowl game

Mo Claiborne undoubtedly in my mind will a starter next year or at the very least be rotated with Jai. I for one hope Les decides to give this kid some experience in big time football action. I really hope Les decides to rotate him and CH for the bowl game

Rueben will be a major contributor in the passing game next year. I'm sure PSUs staff will be focusing on TT and BL and not as much on RR He should have plenty of opportunities to make plays over the middle and on double moves down the field.

What are you guys expectations ?

Randle will play, as he has most of the year.

I don't see Claiborne getting any playing time.

I think Randle is gonna be something special in his later years.

I agree that Claiborne is the likely starter next year. Randle also looks like our best route runner at times. Nevertheless, after 12 games of historical evidence I dont see much changing as far as playing time for the bowl game.

RR will be uaed sparingly, will catch everything thrown close to him and will leave you asking, hmm I wonder why he doesnt get a lil more PT. Doubt Claiborne does.

It's hawkins last game, he will play 80% of the snaps.

Jai will be a Senior next year, he will get 70% of the snaps wit h Mo Claiborne getting some. IMO

Randle looks like he is going to be a terror for opposing defenses in his upcoming seasons. He made some great catches in clutch situations this season, notably the nasty catch on the sideline against Auburn. Claiborne played some and it looks like he could be a major contributor as well.

Jai Eugene is freaking horrible. The staff knows this. He will soon be regressed to a strictly special teams player

hate to bash a kid like that. But he just cant play the position

Peterson and Randle could go absolutely nuclear next year with the right guy calling the plays. There is no reason that we shouldn't be in the top 3 offenses in the SEC with the weapons we have in place.

We have the weapons but nobody to give them to. O line has been a huge issue on offense. Our qb's decision making is not fast enough with the below par O line we have this year thus rendering our main weapons useless.

Then why does he occasionally play over Hawkins and always in front of Ron Brooks?

I think the play Jai over Hawkins because Hawkins is prone to give up the big play.

True. That's why I mentioned having the right guy. I guess that needs to be the right guys. OL Coach definitely needs to be addressed along with the OC/QB Coach.

Jai is decent playing the run but is horrible in coverage. I don't think coaches think Hawkins is as good against the run but Is better than Jai will ever be in coverage.

I think Randle, Toliver, and D. Peterson are going to be damn good next year. It really depends on the OL as Jefferson has looked good but young. I think Jefferson will be very threatening to opposing defenses with an improved OL. It all depends on the big guys up front though.

One of the most easily blocked players I've ever seen, and I actually like the guy.
