Golson ran a lot less after getting knocked silly against Stanford. That was by design. It's doubtful that Kelly will turn Golson loose this year unless he feels very comfortable with Kiel. I don't think that will happen in September, if at all in 2013 - especially if we are winning.

I disagree that our skill guys are experienced. Jones is the only one. Daniels has played half a season. The others have not done anything. Brown made exactly one catch against Oklahoma and we're all still waiting for Neal, Fuller and anyone else to catch something besides the flu.

At RB, Atkinson is not an every down back because he can't run inside or pass block. The others are untested. Combine all off this with a QB that is still being spoon fed and we're not ready to make the jump to hyperspace.

      - I think it was called, but I might be wrong - jt 2013-03-06 20:21:32
        That's my recollection. The second QB draw was a brutal - irishhawk49 2013-03-06 22:23:30
Agree, it's a catch 22. Don't run him and you limit the - SEE 2013-03-06 15:51:40
- I don't see him as a runner in the classic college QB sense - Jvan 2013-03-06 17:01:13
  - I think a Russell Wilson comparison is very close - IrishintheD 2013-03-06 19:41:50
    - I don't equate actual production to potential - Jvan 2013-03-06 22:07:21
      - Production is about dead equal. Golson will blow Wilson's - SEE 2013-03-06 22:21:33
        Who cares about numbers? - Jvan 2013-03-07 10:01:43
        Neither did Wilson. - irishaddict 2013-03-07 13:00:08
        Even if true, so what? - Jvan 2013-03-07 14:54:06
        At this point in their careers Golson compares favorably - irishaddict 2013-03-07 15:41:24
        Aside from numbers and physical stature - Jvan 2013-03-07 16:27:14
        Those are very fair points - irishaddict 2013-03-07 16:57:26
    - aside from the 25 lb weight differential? - ACross 2013-03-06 21:38:05
      - You've got to get over the height thing... * - IrishintheD 2013-03-06 23:18:21
        It means he doesn't have a strong arm - SEE 2013-03-07 04:55:45
        Is that what it means? * - ACross 2013-03-07 10:55:25
        It did to you last year. Remember that insightful - SEE 2013-03-07 11:41:30
        I do remember asserting that there is a general correlation - ACross 2013-03-07 11:46:30
        I remember you saying exactly that. - ugoirish 2013-03-07 16:54:36
        Golson has a strong arm for any size. He throws 35 yard - SEE 2013-03-09 03:52:34
      - Wilson was 201 a RS Sr. and he's shorter. Which of these - SEE 2013-03-06 22:14:17
        I don't know that he is shorter - jt 2013-03-07 00:52:47
        You sayin Wison's shorter than 5'11"? - SEE 2013-03-07 05:05:21
        I said "I don't know that he's shorter" - jt 2013-03-07 11:16:58
