And everyone a test away from being out for 2 weekstwo coming off injuries, one suspended for 5 games, and one true freshman.
This season, if it actually goes as scheduled, is going to have so many “what ifs”. How do you rate teams missing key players at times during the season? A big * will probably be tagged to the national champion, if there is one. I see this season as an exhibition. Too many top programs not participating.
McGowan was a consensus 4-star recruit and was rated and was a top 25 player in Texas. He gained over 3,000 yards with 37 touchdowns in high school. He's got idea size at 5'11" 211 lbs and should be a quality contributor. Alabama, LSU, Georgia and Texas were after him.I would sure be nice if McGowan was a stud.
I agree with you Bomber. We’ll be lucky to get a couple of games if any. Why risk getting hurt for so little. I’m so sick of this virus and the histeria that goes with it.
He looks plenty fast in his videos with a few long runs.I saw McGowan last fall. Big physical kid. And a really good receiver. Should play immediately. Only thing he lacks is speed. But Perine and Sermon showed us you don’t need to be 4.5 to be great in this offense.
I know all about the hs pedigree. The point of the post, is that we need him to be a stud in 2020. That is a little less likely.McGowan was a consensus 4-star recruit and was rated and was a top 25 player in Texas. He gained over 3,000 yards with 37 touchdowns in high school.

Pledger may end up not doing much, but he was billed a HS stud long before he went to IMG. He was a 5-star in California before transferring his senior year (and dropping to a 4).I know all about the hs pedigree. The point of the post, is that we need him to be a stud in 2020.

I heard at least as good about Pledger before he arrived, and I'm not a believer that he'll ever be a college stud. Since McGowan came from a school in the Dallas area that is not known as a traditional power, I'm more confident in his college future if he stays healthy. He's already bigger than Pledger, who came from one of those hs football factories that recruits nationally. It makes you look better than you are, when you have college prospects at ever position.
Pledger has never shown to be a guy who is capable of being a starter at OU, who can carry any kind of heavy load at running back, especially with the duties in the passing game. McGowan might. But he has a ton to learn. I don't think we've ever started a season with fewer quality running backs.

Clay was way better than Pledger.
Does this season really even matter that much? Two of the major conferences aren't even playing and who knows whats going to happen with the rest. Going to be a real downer this year
