Based on what is behind said by the players, there seems to be a lot more certainty regarding who will be starting and who will be in the rotation. KW aside, there seem to be less of the artificial motivational tactics, like saying all positions are wide open, that were used under Pelini which resulted in players playing apprehensively, worried that their first mistake might be their last.
As I see it, of the 25 starters (including the nickle) it's pretty clear that these guys are in:
Armstrong
T. Newby
Westercamp
Pierson-El
Riley
Carter
Lewis
Kolongo
Collins
Valentine
McMullen
Gangwish
Banderas
Rose
David
Cockrell
Gerry
Kalu
Fultz
These players can just concentrate on getting ready for BYU. Our team will be much better with this kind of certainty. Not to say that there are a lot of great subs that will play a lot.
