How Will Young Guys Respond?

We’ll see if they can get off to a fast start. I assume they might play down to the competition for a short amount of time before building a lead large enough to pull the starters.

However, I’m curious to see if the staff will start substituting some reserve players earlier than usual to assess their response.

The tight end, wide receiver, and defensive back positions are three units I’m most interested in watching aside from the quarterback position.

I’m curious to see how Landen Thomas, Amaree Wiliams, and Chase Loftin perform. I’m curious how receivers like Elijah Moore, Jayvan Boggs, Micahi Danzy, Camdon Frier, and other young receivers contribute.

I expect Ousmane Kromah to show out at running back, along with Gavin Sawchuk. That should be a fun duo to watch, but I’m curious to see how much Kam Davis we’ll see, also.
