Some quick thoughts:
- Sean White is legit. Good arm, excellent poise and can drop the ball in a bucket. I've seen him a few times, but I was really excited to watch him against this kind of speed. He didn't disappoint, even though the rest of his team couldn't keep up. LuCane used an Andy Dalton comparison, and I think that is right on.
- Canes fans should be very excited about Mark Walton. At the risk of sounding Sanduskish, the guy has a huge lower body. He is going to develop into a monster. Booker T's spread offense isn't exactly tailored to his strengths, so expect him to really explode over the next two years after Treon Harris leaves.
- Chad Thomas had a tremendous game. He is absolutely huge and should explode with a college strength program. He got bullied a bit against Gorman earlier this year, but when he fills out he will be a Justin Tuck-type player.
- Demetrius Jackson had a sack and some pressures but still looks a little less than 100% with his ankle. He made an impact, though,and disrupted White's passing lanes all night by jumping up and trying to swat the ball.
- Quincy Wilson played abysmal. I thought he would be a solid safety coming into the year, and he certainly looks the part. But he struggled against his biggest test of the year.
- Sam Bruce is a baller. He played both ways and was extremely physical, even running over Nigel Bethel at one point. He has a lot of dog in him.
- I was surprised by how Booker T's little receivers were able to manhandle University's DBs on the edges. Every time Booker T got outside they had nothing but open grass. Credit to Ice Harris and his staff for having his team ready to play in all phases.
