Gary Patterson had a lot of questions going into Saturday’s home opener against Southern, and while they didn’t all get answered, we certainly know more about the young players filling the Horned Frogs’ two-deep than we did before kick-off.
80 different players stepped foot on the green grass of Amon G Carter Stadium Saturday morning, as Gary Patterson subbed liberally on both sides of the ball with the outcome of the game never in doubt. Several true freshmen got their first collegiate action, while other young players began to grow into new, larger roles. We saw the installation of the new starting QB - Shawn Robinson - who delivered a hoe-hum five touchdown day, the arrival of Garret Wallow, who lived up to his Jason Phillips player comp, and the reminder that KaVontae Turpin is still good.
