Since 2006 the white starter roll call reads 3,4,3,4,3,4,4,3,3,2,4,3,4,6 and 1 last year. This year looks like 5.
I was anxious to sink my teeth into this team and break down their defense. Ha. These numbers are important. 1-16, 11 strikeouts and a batting average of .063. Those are the baseball numbers from QB John Rhys Plumlee and hopefully he continues to improve on the football field where he can dump any delusional belief left that baseball is an option. A few good games in a row with a home run or two mixed in would be enough to keep his MLB dreams alive. It takes so little for white athletes to chase their often foolhardy attempts to play baseball.
With their new unreliable HC Lane Kiffin around know one is sure if Plumlee or Matt Corral will secure the starting role. I am fully aware Plumlee as a QB is a work in progress but he will have no room to improve if he is relegated to coming off the bench for "special occasions." To me we know he can run and it is a thrill to watch him gallop past SEC defenses but I am looking at the big picture. And that means if he wants to get drafted down the road he needs to show scouts he can "pass" the passing tests. He has two to three years to improve his passing and overall QB skills. Baseball athletes are generally very adaptable so I think he will progress nicely in those areas as along as he is given a chance. He is a supremely electric talent and an important one when discussing caste.
Players to watch: QB Matt Corral, OL Eli Acker and LB Luke Knox.
OFFENSE:
QB John Rhys Plumlee (SO)
OG Royce Newman (SR)
OG Ben Brown (JR)
OT Nick Broeker (SO)
OT Jeremy James (FR)
