Miller Is Back?

According to the depth chart in todays Chronicle, Miller will start today. Hope it's true- good news! Murray, Guin & Miller.

That is good news. But we also have a capable backup in Mike Brown, who I hope gets to see some playing time this season because he will be starting next year.

Why has Brandon Roosevelt dropped so far down the depth chart? I know his knee is back to full strength so it isn't that. It just seems that a former starter who comes back from an injury should be playing more. I wonder if it is simply due to having better receivers available or maybe he has taken the top spot in Kramer's dog house?

I think it's just our depth at receivers this year, and next week we get Gatewood back.

No offense here, Chronicle staff, but just because they list Miller as a starter doesn't lead me to believe he will play.

I hope so, but let's consider the source. I would think the program would face some type of repercussion from the NCAA if the head coach officially says he's out and then he plays...

Roos has been having problems remembering his assignments... running the wrong routes, etc.

Maybe I missed it, but I don't recall reading anything this week that said Murray would definitley not play, only that he was questionable.

Also from todays Chronicle:

"The Bobcats will need Division IA play from Tremaine Murray and Jevon Miller against SLO's secondary, which features excellent safeties".

The only player listed on the injury report is Matakis.

I am surprised he still has a scholarship. He drops everything especially if there is another player within 10 yards. I have never seen a player sooo afraid of getting hit.

My bad but I could've sworn either Kramer said he was out or Lamberty posted it on the MSU site...
