He looked really good today in his first real playing time. Could he also play in the slot (i.e. if Beasley is hurt, even for a week)? Or is he an outside guy only? They say the WRs all have to learn all four positions, and with his wheels, I wonder what he could do inside.

Also great to see Jeremy Johnson get a few catches. Hopefully he's just scratching the surface.

I assume your are talking about Thompson but you do need to narrow it down a little.

In this offense where small guys who can get open and make plays is what the coaches want, you better be playing 8-10 guys when you can to get em ready for when the injuries occur. Jeremy has played very little but looked so smooth when he was in the game yesterday. Thompson just keeps getting better! Good to see the guys step up and make plays when opportunity arises and kudos to the coach keeping their morale up and ready to play.

Memphis gave Thompson plenty of cushion and he still managed to get behind them; what really impressed me was his concentration because the DB came very close to knocking the long TD ball away

Let's face it...we are going to need big games from Thompson and Jeremy Johnson against the purple menace

Agreed...Although TCU D isn't what it was last year, they are still pretty solid. I think the entire SMU team is going to have to have a big game!! But I think we can! I will be interested to see how our secondary matches up with TCU WR and TE...looking forward to Sat.

TCU Opponents hitting on 2 out of every 3 passes

Good stat! Thanks...JJ should tear it up then!

Jeremy Johnson might not have the same grasp of the offense that CB does, but I think he will be able to step in just fine.

Might be good for the offense to actually work the ball around to other receivers...worked at memphis

TCU's corners may choose to defend our outside wr's like A$M and NWS did. That was to engage them headon, or shove them out of bounds. Beat TCU!

We already beat Memphis Alex

I think that JJ should call that "touchdown play" so that JJ can complete a long pass to JJ.

Thanks, I'll blame it on that powerful margarita that RGV introduced me to. Beat tcu!

I bet Patterson is taking sleeping pills to sleep since he does not know for sure who our "go to guy" is. Advantage SMU.....

I keep thinking Coach Jones has a trick or two up his sleeve, like a bigger role for Holman (if healthy) or Holleman or Jeremy Johnson ... or something along those lines.
