It's really good to see Watkins doing well after all he's been through. RB should be a strength this year for TU.

Hopefully our OL dominates Northwestern St, such that we have room to run and make completions. If they are dominant, it will give me hope that they might be able to open up running lanes and pass protect by the skin of their teeth for the rest of the season.

I don't think I realized he lost his brother before he became academically ineligible. That definitely explains the reason for that. It's tough to lose someone close and keep your thoughts and actions on your studies. Must have been devastating after he lost his father. I lost a close friend in my sophomore year in college. It was really tough for a month or two, to keep my focus on my studies. Must have been doubly tough on him, being a family member that affected his family as well.

Yes, sometimes we don't really understand what many of these players go through. I'm really rooting for him.
