I prefer to call it the Ryan Miller/Rudy Niswanger role, since they were actually good.

ETA: I forgot Williford was only a junior, thought he was a senior. I don't think he's terrible. He's not nearly the liability that Lyle Hitt and T-Bob were.

He was definitely not a step back from Williford last night. He looked like he tired a little on the longer drives....his game conditioning will get better fast with enough reps...then look out!

I'd like to know why he wasn't starting before...


extremely rare that a redshirt freshman would take a starting job from an incumbent on the o-line for game 1. As a first-year player, a half a season can make a big difference in being ready to take the reins. This is typically the time of year you see a guy step in for an injured starter and never give the job up.

Agree, they were beasts! I was very concerned about how they would play going in.... The thing I liked the most about them is it looked like they were having fun. If they can bring a personality with a little confidence to the offense we could be dangerous. It would appear they are fearless, and that bodes well for the team.
Props also to J Hill, he looks like all the RBs combined into one.....
Can't wait to watch again tonight.

He def was a beast but needed a bigger jersey. After every play it seemed like I could see his whole jelly roll

Turner's high school film was impressive as hell too. I was anxious to see him get pt, that 2011 class was fricking insane

Impossible for him to be better than wiliford since wiliford started over him


Or maybe, just maybe.... a fan like yourself would be calling for miles head for starting a freshman over a sr. I get it, you dont like our head coach.

I beat Trai Turner and Jonah Austin's St. Aug team with a game winning field goal as time expired their senior year (also my senior year) in high school.

59-56

So by default I >>> Trai Turner and Jonah and also Leonard Fournette who was a Freshman on that team

Great game from Trai last night, frick it GREAT game from our ENTIRE O-Line

Imagine that OL with Faulk at LT.

Now realize that is the starting '13 line.

Is it time for another stacked, fricked reference?

Check out Turner around the 7:40 mark in the second if y'all have it recorded. He launches the defender. Primarily the defender's momentum, still, good stuff!

I was the last player he played against in high school. Him and Jonah Austin were extremely dominant at St Aug
