Best present of the day! Now go and get the big Ex Aggie OT Williams and it will be a grand closing out of the year and one hell of a great Transfer portal for SMU!

That is great news. We are loaded at RB now. We were ranked 11 in the portal rankings. Will this bump us into the top 10?

Thank you for the "ask" as if you want turners vision, sit in your hands. If you want dallas and smu to reach its potential.... donate to nil now.

Da truth.

God's peace

My bet is that both Johnson and Williams will be downgraded from 4 star guys to 3 star transfers because they are coming to SMU but sure looks like the roster has been upgraded as we prepare to compete in a watered down AAC

This also gives us 2 of the top 5 running backs in the 2021 recruiting class.

I prefer watching games when the ball is in the air a lot, but if these RBs are as good as we hope ... run, run, run.

Can Johnson or Knighton return kicks or punts?

Lashlee wants to run power, very physical running game with explosive backs. Then use WR screens and deep balls to take advantage of the compressed defense. Not only are we fixing the defense, but the offense is morphing into what Lashlee wants.

Think back to how defenses played against us this year - against a 3 man front, we struggled the most. Now you have mobile QBs, a strong power running game, and if the LBs and a safety have to help to stop the run, the deep ball over the middle is there for RJ Maryland, or you are leaving an outside WR without help deep. The 3-3-5 stack is built to attack the run from the back and take away the intermediate passing game. But if they are afraid of the run, the weakness is to beat it over the top.
