Typically, even with our now-NFL JUCO players (Crawford, Moore), it took them a number of weeks - and games - to really get clicking. I remember people bagging on Crawford after his debut at Texas Tech when we lost 31 - 27.
Shead was robbed of over a month of adjustment and development by that garbage horse-collar tackle against TTU this year, and then was injured again. If he can stay healthy, I think he can be a quality component of the running game.
That said, Pope looked great against UCF and as a 5th year senior ought to provide a boost.
I think most people have written off Line. He just is not fast enough to run the ball. Maybe June can convert him to LB or NT?
As I understand it, we will have Klemchi, Shead, and Lagasse back? If you add Pope to that crew, it would be very nice.
