We seem a little light at the DB position.

If we lose one CB we will have a true Freshman in the game. Really not if, more like when.

It will be good for the Freshman as they will have a chance for immediate playing time and experience. Hopefully the coaches work the true Freshman into real games to give them some exposure before the tough games start....Lots of mop up duty. Maybe the whole second half against North Texas.

If the Freshman is uncomfortable, or the coaching staff is not comfortable with them I wonder if the Defensive Backfield will go to more of a Zone scheme to protect the young Cornerback/Cornerbacks?

I wonder if the coaches would rotate one of the safeties to cornerback? Micah Eugene, Ronald Martin? They have a year in the scheme and probably know it a little better.

It will be interesting to say the least. If the defense has an Achilles heel it is depth at Cornerback.

In 2010 Simon and Mathieu were both frosh and played a good bit. I think during the Bama game in BR our secondary had 3 true frosh--Mathieu, Simon and Reid all playing at the same time.

Besides, a good DL will make life easier for the DBs.
