Terran Benton

He was starting for a while, but has not played much as of lately.

I thought he was doing a fair job as a true freshman.

Injury that anyone knows of?

I know he played some against OSU, but I dont remember much of him last week.

I guess he is just playing behind a healthy DM and Chris Singleton.

Chris Played well this weekend, Terran didnt play very well in the okie state game. but as a true freshman going up against Dez Bryant, it was tough. He has gained some valuable experience

I know he was gone for a while a few weeks back due to a funeral

He and LJ are going to be very good in the next 2-3 years.

He is very raw right now. I can't wait 2-3 years from now with LJ and him. Now we just need to get them some safeties that can play.

I thought our defensive backfield looked a lot better last weekend when Chris Brown was in. Hopefully just any improvement in safety play will make us look a lot better

The injuries to Chris Brown at safety at Bailey Johnson at DT have been killers. They were two very likely starters who showed a lot of promise last year. I don't think it's a stretch to say we could have a couple more wins this year if those guys were in the line-up.

Everybody liked to say a couple years ago that we were four plays away from 0-12. Well, this year we're three plays away from 5-5. One or two guys really could have made a difference. That's not an excuse, but it's understandable in only the second year under Chizik.
