He is still way to young(dropped passes) yet to be a "major" factor. You could ruin his confidence if he was not what coaches/fans expect him to be. Ryan is right bring him along slowly. By his JR year he'll be prime rib. God its s good to talk pigskin instead of round ball. Lets give FB 8/9 months of pub now to OK!! Russell I agree with you!!!

Good luck to defensive coordinators in game planning for that. It helps carry the load for the other guys too when you have an impact player that can sub in at so many spots. I still can't wait to see the incoming freshman. I still think Morris is going to have something to say about who lines up at the running back position.

He can makes some big plays at the WR position but here are some scenarios where Ashton could play at RB: Obvious passing downs where he can catch some balls out of the backfield. Or maybe even "gimmicky" run plays like toss sweeps. Plays where he'll have some space to run down the sidelines, shift through blockers. Smitty: The size is his biggest asset. It's so under appreciated. I mean he's not slow, so maybe he even embraces a type of "Brandon Jacobs" RB role--only difference is that Broyld could smoke Jacobs! It's going to be exciting to see him anywhere on field. Chris/Bruce:

I was at the game and what stood out the most was his size. Teams will have to game plan for him. Theres no doubt this is Nassibs team but until he starts taking risks and throwing deep this team will have a hard time scoring. A five yard pass on third and ten is not acceptable. This is the best WR set we have had in a long long long time. Sales, Lemons, Kobena, West and Broyld is not a bad lineup and thats not including the redshirt freshmen and Flemming. It was as though the back ups were trying to impress Marrone by throwing it long often as if Dougie is telling Nassib to take chances. #1 Broyld will definetly be a factor this year.
