"He's made a big push. He seems to be getting more comfortable and that's helped him. He's being more productive."Last week Smith said he wanted someone to separate themselves as the clear cut starter, but said he's not disappointed no one has done so yet."It's a good thing because both are playing well, that's the pleasing part," Smith said. "Instead of getting one separating and one guy being average, both have played real well. I think we'll have two good ones as the season goes on and then we can bring freshman Carlton Hill along."Smith said Denson would work with the first-team offense for the next several days. Julmiste and Hill also will get work with the first offense."All three have looked good," Smith said. "Carlton is behind the other two because of his inexperience, but he has a lot of potential."Brett McMurphyhttp://bulls.tbo.com/bulls/MGB4AOVLFCE.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You only get so many reps in and you have to pick your best guys. if he was one of those then he would get the reps. He may eventualy become the man but not now.

Sounds like the guy alot of us thought was going to become the starting QB is even with the starter in a very short time. You have to believe that the upside is greater for Denson having not played two years with the team but he still has to seperate himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perfect situation would be for one of the other 2 to really do well and grothe be a back up for a year before being a starter.. much like FSU did for years.. 1 redshirt... 2 back up years then 2 great years as a starter..

You don't get reps in our playbook when running the scout team. Without reps it's a little hard to learn the system. Memorization.....well, it could help a little but that's better if you are craming for a test. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
