    Third string, maybe second string. He takes a lot of punishment when he runs. That punishment increases exponentially in the NFL. Plus he will have to play special teams. Hope his body holds through all that. Maybe he becomes a starter. Like Donny said he is kinda short but not as short as players like Jones-Drew.

    Similar to jackie battle. If he gains about 20 pounds he could have a career as a fb. Nothing wrong with that. Demarcus Ayers imo has a shot once he graduates. Electric on returns and has good hands. Reminds me of Emmanuel sanders when he was at smu

    Some reason I think Farrow lost his explosiveness from last season and 2 seasons ago. He not taking it to the house like he used to when he ran the ball. Seemed like he got slower.

    Reminds me of Jackie Battle as well.. A little too much weight to be an every down back but too small to be a FB.

    Last I heard, he's a game time decision. He was doing light drills earlier in the week.

    That's huge. Cincy threw the ball like crazy once Jackson went out. Hopefully we can put some pressure on Lynch

    Farrow is also short. So while he's a bit of bowling ball, which is nfl style, I think Jackie battle could always fall forward for 2 yards while I think farrow almost has to bully his way and that is harder in the nfl. I actually think he could make a team though, but also think ward might be able to make it in the league as a scat back or kick returner too, but someone has to give him a chance and that might be unlikely.

    Temple lost. That is going to be one less Top 25 opponent.

    Could just replace Mizzou with "Most Big College Programs Looking for Coaches".

    Doesn't really matter at this point. We were never gonna be contending for CFP and if we win our schedule, we're gonna be the highest ranking G5 team.

    That is one beautiful photo. It was just an incredible atmosphere last night the only game that really compares is Tech in 2009.
