Aj Penson

Penson is going to be a beast at LB. I sure would like to see him get some playing time. What a great athlete and tough as nails.

A.J. Penson also was on the KO team- #59.

Just after our 2nd FG, our KO to FAU was covered very good.

But-- we almost got a flag for "unnessary roughtness".

Right in front of where I was, I clearly saw A.J. steer wrassle the guy

blocking him- threw the guy down on the ground then was on top

of the guy beating the *&^$ out of him. The ref came over and broke

up the "aggressive nature" of the situaton. Man I thought the yellow

hankie was going to fly for sure! Wow that was a close one.

A.J. is one heck of an athlete with a nose for the ball. His best days are certainly ahead of him. TD is just getting his feet wet this year, and he will be ready to step in at LB and help for 3 years. I feel that he is a game changer on the defensive side of the ball. When at Lufkin HS, Coach Dodge called him "the best defensive player I have ever coached against."

[newuntfan07]

I think Penson will see more actual game time and quality minutes as the season progresses. They have burned his freshman red shirt opportunity so he will get more playing time as the conference champioship becomes out of reach.

This kid as some of the other freshman are quality kids who have been on winning programs. We need the winning attitude. Some of the guys who are red shirt juniors and seniors have not been on winning programs and I think that makes a difference in close games.

Of guys from TDs first recruiting class how many have burned their redshirt? Penson, Mosley, Lewis and who else?

DeSoto.

[UNT Mean Green]

I believe all of these guys have been in the game at some point:

J. DeSoto

S. Dibrell

K. Ealey

B. Johnson

BJ Lewis

C. Montgomery

M. Mosley

AJ Penson

G. Vizza

That leaves the following guys who I believe have not been in the game yet:

M. Davis

G. Garden

B. Hager

J. Johnson

M. King

J.Padron

S. Roberson

K. Russo

J. Scoggins

M. Tomlinson

E. Walker

Quite a few. I think that Vizza, Moreland (walk-on), B. Johnson, Taveras, Ealey, R. Johnson, Davis, Dibrell, DeSoto, Roman (trans.), Montgomery (trans.) and DeSoto have all played. Probably missed a couple.

Why did we burn a redshirt on the high impact players, if they are not going to play in each and every game, in some capacity?

Makes no sense. Penson, Dibrell, Vizza, and B. Johnson. We are getting some decent minutes for BJ Lewis and he is actually looking better in the slot than some starters.

I would not be surprised to see Lewis in the game more and more, he has great speed and good hands. Lewis made several good catches against SMU early and then is never seen again but a play or two.
