It is a rebuilding season..3 overtimes with Buffalo and a loss to Temple make that obvious..so what bricks have we found to build on for the next few years....Your top 5?
My top five.
1. Chris Bullock...My guess is he will rival Pope as the best BG RB in my Bg history. If I knew more about his speed i would try to guess at his pro status, he certainly has size and ability.
2. Erique Dozier....Undersized but dominant. Impossible not to root for because all he does is make plays and he has played safety so has coverage ability.
3. Freddie Barnes...QB/RB/WR Whatever he is he makes plays and puts us in position to win games. He will likely end up at WR for the next three years and be a great one opposite Partridge.
4. Corey Partridge....Battled injuries, makes plays and will help whoever ends up at QB with smart play.
5. Dyrall Briggs...Also battled injuries and is undersized but has disrupted QBS all year.
HM:Dan Macon. I know what you are all saying, Macon actually underachieved...and i agree. But in his role now as backup RB-the lightning to Bullocks thunder he has fit perfectly. He will likely end up nice KR/backup RB option for us next year.
Yours?
Rebuilding Season
I would agree that those would be my top 5. Others:
Sanderson and the rest of the young defensive backfield - made some big plays (picks and TD versus FIU) and given up some big plays
John Haneline - he made some plays against Central Michigan that made me think his brother was back out there.
Alonso Rojas - yeah, yeah, yeah, we're last in the country in punting. I don't think more than 10% of that is Rojas' fault. He has a really strong leg and he has put the ball in position to be downed inside the 5 consistently over the last couple weeks. The gunners have made the plays sometimes and missed other times. The key to me, though, is that he has put the ball where it needs to be. He hasn't been kicking it out of the end zone on those occasions.
