Does he have a medical redshirt possibility?

and if can come back this year they need to feature him in a blowout.

Shit, if he's healthy, we should get as much use out of him as possible. Put him in in a meaningful game. (Like Kansas or TTU or something) Give our starting RBs a little break.

Right now at least, R. Johnson is a better rb than qb.  Glad they made that choice now rather than mid season.  He can't help the team as 3rd string qb and his arm being what it is, but he can definitely help a bit with rb.

RoJo at RB? Well that's .....huh...... ok.....

I thought RB when watching Johnson’s tape as a recruit. Not this way, though.

Shit at this rate our depth chart against LSU will be a few true freshmen we’ve moved to RB from different positions.

Interesting on Johnson. Maybe that is a move that works long term, as Texas isn't going to have a lot of room in the QB room once Card and Jackson come in.

Agreed.  I've been wondering for awhile if they'd consider this move given the struggles he's had with his throwing motion.  Thompson, Jackson, Card and Milroe already in the pipeline will be tough competition to get on the field as a QB.

Moving Johnson to RB full time would be extremely stupid this early in his career.

Everyone, including the coaches, knew he needed to fix his mechanics coming in and he’s working through that right now. There’s no reason to give up on him this early. Also, he runs a 4.8, so it’s not like he’d be an all world RB.

That’s not to say he won’t seen any snaps at RB this year, but it would be dumb to switch him to full time RB before fall camp has even ended in his first year, when he has worlds of potential as  aQB if he can fix his mechanics and he gets two full years to try to do so.

Yeah he looked great at the Spring game, just size and athleticism through the roof. Get him out there and get him productive. Love it. I hadn't even considered him there.

So, I'm partial to the plays where he hands the ball off and then he passes a 2nd ball right behind it.  No wonder our offense is expected to be more explosive.  If they both get in the endzone do we get 14 points on that possession?

Expand  

Only 12 actually, then we have to simultaneously kick 2 FGs or a FG and 2 point conversion.

Randy McEachern 🤘 and Cardale Jones might disagree with you on a 3rd string QB helping their teams...  

Really hope Texas QB's stay healthy this season (knock on wood).

I see your point, but maybe in a few years (a la Cardale Jones as a Junior/Senior backup)

If RoJo is called upon at qb this season we're absolutely fucked.  If he's called upon this season as an rb we are not doing great but significantly less fucked

Just messing with yah.  I enjoy bringing up McEachern and Cardale's 3rd string QB  results because they are such great CFB stories...

RoJo could win a few games at QB this season against some B12 teams especially at DKR.  Really hope we don't have to see that though...

At this rate we may be holding open tryouts the week of the game.

A little bit, I still have nightmares regarding Vai Sikahema, though. A friend of my brother's moved to Arizona and played high school ball against Sikahema. The friend stayed with us over a summer and would talk up Airzona high school football. I would be talking to someone at the house and he would run through the halls and yell Vai Sikahema and tackle me to the ground.  Motherfucker.
