In a way, he does some of the same things Tebow did at Florida as far as running although he depends more on quickness while Tebow was more of a power guy. The only concern is that if he's going to run, we better be able to depend on the other three guys because its likely that Newsome is going to get beat up!<br /><br />Craig CochranPro American Guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11722040972112743461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3572799361125216095.post-71272007953317618562010-08-14T10:18:30.027-04:002010-08-14T10:18:30.027-04:00I sure hope the coaches have worked on his ball co...I sure hope the coaches have worked on his ball control...watching him scramble against E. Illinois made me cringe. Otherwise he didn't look so bad. Unfortunately, the throws were mostly garbage time screens and broken plays. It will be interesting to see what he can really do from the pocket after a second year in the system.<br /><br />I truly feel PSU will be fine this year regardless of who starts, so may the coaches pick the best player. If OSU was able to win in '08 with Pryor as a true freshman, who's to say we can't win with Newsome, if he is chosen as the guy??Bennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3572799361125216095.post-46167376844091218142010-08-14T09:01:07.382-04:002010-08-14T09:01:07.382-04:00That made me feel a little sick inside.That made me feel a little sick inside.marknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3572799361125216095.post-42663396065162019202010-08-14T08:50:09.963-04:002010-08-14T08:50:09.963-04:00@Devon I share the sentiment that if Jones or Bold...@Devon I share the sentiment that if Jones or Bolden are, in fact, actually better than Newsome, the best QB needs the job.

It looked like the plan going in was to get Newsome more playing time against a real opponent before it turned into garbage time, yet in the comfy environment of Beaver Stadium. The problem was that Clark, Astorino and Zug couldn't stop giving the ball back to Indiana. <br /><br />I don't know about anyone else, but I seriously didn't think Newsome had the BURST when running the ball. He actually looks faster than Mike Robinson.Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00368517095433516902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3572799361125216095.post-56416139203468119962010-08-13T20:04:44.902-04:002010-08-13T20:04:44.902-04:00I totally forgot that Newsome actually saw meaning...I totally forgot that Newsome actually saw meaningful PT against Indiana. I'm also certain everyone in the stadium knew what the play call was going to be when he lined up under center and Clark lined up as a receiver (sigh).Timhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16868853964481274588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3572799361125216095.post-30854556224865776912010-08-13T18:05:18.654-04:002010-08-13T18:05:18.654-04:00Man that number looks familiar.Man that number looks familiar.Jeffnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3572799361125216095.post-79382274417090959212010-08-13T16:59:41.473-04:002010-08-13T16:59:41.473-04:00@Devon You're joking.
