Game Changers

[Ghost of Shag 2585]

Despite the loss to LSU, it feels good to be headed in the right direction.  There were great signs during that game like our OL play, young receivers stepping up, and young defensive linemen getting push.  

But one thing we still lack is game changers.  Absolute difference makers who you know them as soon as you see them play.  LSU has several.  Delpit, Chaisson, Lawrence, Stingley, Marshall, Chase, Burrows, Jefferson.

Who are our difference makers?  Ehlinger is one, but damn if he just can't throw the deep ball.  So frustrating.  Johnson, Eagles and DuVernay all had their guys beat Saturday but the throw wasn't there for them to capitalize.  Cosmi on the O-line.  But one of our most glaring deficiencies is not having a game-changer at running back.  Not having Whittington there hurts.  He could be one.  

Some will say Collin Johnson...but I just don't know.  I know LSU bracketed him for most of the game, but if you're a game changer, you've got to be able to take over.  Hard to judge him along those lines because of accuracy issue on Sam's part.  I'm not putting Sterns in that category yet.  Too much inconsistency.

So who do you we have that you think are true game changers?  My short list would be:

Ehlinger

Cosmi

Ossai

And I think Green and Coburn will be.

Whittington?

DuVernay?
