re: What player surprised you the most in a good way on the field Saturady?

Quinn

Diarse

Never knew which side of the formation to line up on? Really? Just curious to how you know this?

Collins. Will be tough to take him off the field due to his physical play and sure tackling. We are lacking the run stopping DB such as Taylor and Reid and others. With our DL being somewhat soft against the run, we need Collins in the game

Godchaux - coming off a serious injury, lightweight for a DT, true freshman, and was still handling himself well out there.

Diarse - in all honesty, I thought he and Quinn would fight for slot position. I also didn't think he had great hands and looked meh. After watching him last Saturday, I have done a complete 180. Dude is a freaking beast!

ETA: Jalen Collins - thanks for reminding me. He was all over the field, and all over every player he had to cover.

ETA: Travin Dural - can't believe I forgot him. I thought he would be a top 10 SEC WR at the end of the year, but he has the speed and skill to be a top 5 SEC wideout

Quinn - even though I believed he was going to be good, I didn't belive he would look so explosive, and so veteran like game one. They really need to utilize his speed. Get him one on one with LBs, get him in the screen game, hell, he can do it all.

Jennings - when he is on, he looks incredible. 80 yard TD right on the money, 36 yard TD right on the money, 44 yard pass right on the money. The pass to Smith, the first screen to Magee, the bombs to Dural where he tripped and was PI'd. The freaking 27 yard strike right in stride. He's a game film junkie and always in the playbook. They can really throw everything at him.

Watching guys like Anu Solomon, Kenny Hill, etc, make me realize that the coaching staff is baby-ing these guys. I watched Kaaya fail against Louisville because they continued to baby him and run the ball into stacked fronts. I'm serious when I say the Miami fans were as pissed as us about the similar terrible play calling. Let Jennings throw, if you want Harris to play, let him throw. Don't baby these guys. This is the modern era, get with the program.

That play White made from his knees impressed/surprised me. I had always thought him a bit overrated but that was athletic as hell when he made that tackle so I'm on board now.

The fact that Quinn wrapped from an outside position to in front of a defender and nearly sealed the catch was unreal. Not only did he defend a dangerously placed pass he nearly turned it into a long catch. Unreal talent.

Hard to pick, I'll say Jalen Collins but the others qualify too:

Kenny Hilliard - if he's back to his freshman form we're in great shape, he beat out a stable of backs currently in the NFL back then

John Diarse - was skeptical of the hype, was clearly wrong to be skeptical

Davon Godchaux - didn't figure any of the freshmen would step in on the D line and contribute right away, very happy to be proven wrong here

Collins I was not sold on him until after his performance last saturday

Jennings was so calm and on point

Kenny looked like Jeremy Hill on a few runs I mean he was tenacious
