Freshmen dont carry the day, ever. No, not even Spikes, Tebow and Harvin. They didnt as sophs either.

Right. I didn’t mean this year. Longer term.

The next coach might be able to use them.

Emmit Smith.

Only 58.6 ypg in 1990. Doesn’t count.

The problem is all of this is irrelevant if the wheels come off. I have no idea how any of these Twitter guys are doing this again. We just went through this like 6 months ago. And I’m good with Harris, but am not sure I agree he’s a major upgrade to this point. I can post a bunch of emojis and speak in vague confidence as well. That doesn’t equal production as of yet.

They definitely a soon a lot.

Emmit Smith.

Emmitt was amazing and probably our best freshman ever, but even he only carried us to 6-6 as a freshman.

Best defensive freshman ever? Scot Brantley? Kearse? (Freshmen weren’t allowed to play before 1972.)

Swonky will tell you that Tebow only carried the day from 12pm to 6:15pm. Technically, not the day.

Kearse was an parttime ST player as a freshman.

???

He left for the NFL in 1989. In his first start in 1987, against Bama, as a true freshman, he gained 224 yards.

He was our offense from that point inward

I think the rum is starting to affect your memory. As was pointed out already, Tebow won a Heisman as a soph. Looking around CFB, Manziel won a Heisman as a redshirt freshman. As for true freshman, I’d say Jalen Hurts and Trevor Lawrence “carried the day.”
