I hope he is back and ready for Week 3. We are already going to be tested by your team speed.

He hasn't touched a football since the A&M game, no way he's ready to play. I also think that he'll eventually be regulated to Kick Returner w/ his 4x100 relay mate, DJ Monroe. I don't see him taking an active role in the WR corps. Just too much talent there that's been there for the past several months. Although...I do see him being used in a DJ Monroe (WR/RB) type capacity.

Guess I was wrong, Cougarbib2.



They're planning on getting him involved on the return team.


--- Wide receiver Marquise Goodwin has now had a couple practices with the team, and the plan is to get him limited work this week against BYU.



The team would like to get him involved in special teams as he gets his legs back, both as a returner and a guy who could help off the edge on the punt block team.



Along with his obvious speed and playmaking abilities, the coaches continue to praise Goodwin's maturity and leadership, and they've been working this week to find ways to get him involved on offense. Goodwin's similar to D.J. Monroe in size and speed, and though they play different positions, they could see some overlapping in their roles in UT's constantly evolving offense.



"Monroe is more of a tailback, Marquise is more of a wide receiver. But obviously their speed is something that we see as a positive. So they will be used in some similar roles," Applewhite said. "Obviously in the passing game, Marquise will feature some things and in the running game, D.J. will." -Orangebloods.com

This is great. By gameday, we will recognize who some of these guys are and then see how our guys handle it.
