The SAM backer in this scheme (held by James O) is perfect for Drue.

What happens to S depth if he switches positions, tho?

irishfan · Nov 7, 2014

I'm curious what will happen with Schmidt next year with the LBs. Going to be tough to take Morgan off the field if he plays well to end the season.

Jaylon-Morgan-Tranquill sounds amazing. But then we've also got Schmidt, Onwualu, and Martini. Great depth, either way.

I was surprised when BK said you can count on Schmidt being back for a 5th year immediately following the injury. I would have let it play out before I made a statement like that.

Agreed. I love Schmidt, but he could prove to be very replaceable and we could be facing a numbers crunch.

The coaches must love him even more than the fans.

Probably a reward for what he's been able to do as a walk-on.

Nope. It's because he's a legitimate starter, a productive player and will clearly have a role on next years team.

Agree with that. I hope we're not handing him a scholarship without a plan. 5th years shouldn't be for charity. Barring Morgan having something stupid happen, I highly doubt Schmidt will ever be a starter again, though.

Whiskeyjack · Nov 7, 2014

Even if he sits behind Morgan for the entirety of 2015, bringing him back is a no-brainer. He offers experienced depth at a position where we're still thin, and he's a great mentor in the locker room, film room, and on the sideline. The odds of the staff signing a recruit who will contribute more than that in 2015-- a year in which we'll likely make a serious playoff run-- as a freshman is negligible.

I agree he's a legitimate starter. What I meant as "a reward" Whiskey expounded upon.

That is excellent news. If I am not mistaken we saw a lot of Tranquil against Navy on the edge, or am I misremembering?

I thought Roger Clemens is the only one who does that.

Crazy Balki · Nov 25, 2014

What the Hell!? I wanted Max to play, but this is not what I meant! Jesus, what is the freakin' deal with the injuries this year. Hope he gets better. Dropping like flies.

dublinirish · Nov 25, 2014

Same injury as his brother right? Sucks for him

IDK. Tommy Z and Harrison Smith have done well for themselves.

Or do you mean current ones? Probably...Sorry

You can't seriously blame the S&C coach for this, right?

Whiskeyjack · Nov 25, 2014

This was mentioned in the USC thread, but it should be posted here as well: Tranquill played the entire 2nd half against UL on a torn ACL. The kid's a badas$.

And while he hasn't looked great as a true safety recently, he looked damned good as an "in-box" safety earlier this year. If he makes a full recovery, he's going to play a lot of good football for us.

Sherm Sticky · Nov 25, 2014

I think it might be best for him to sit out next year, red shirt, and be fully recovered for spring practice 2016.

Sucks that he got injured here's to a recovery! Now free Max.

Luckylucci · Nov 25, 2014

Kids a stud, hopefully he has a full and speedy recovery.

Cackalacky · Nov 25, 2014

Get well Drue.

irishff1014 · Nov 25, 2014

Toughness is all I can say. The kid is not a good safety but to play that long on that type injury Welp you are a tough sob.
