Bowl Prep

We've heard really favorable things about Jermaine Roberts. Several current players think very highly of him/his ability.

 
If you payed close attention to media days throughout the season, Coach Strong certainly tipped his hand mentioning Roberson, Freeman and Bonney were all players which he believed "could" have an impact in 2015, but quickly backed that up with "you never know how a player reacts to playing in front of 102,000".

The only other player mentioned has been Jerrod Heard as an impactful player for 2015 as Watson detailed the work Heard has put in learning coverage schemes which he said Heard wasn't exposed to at Denton Guyer and simply didn't understand.  The only player that "got it" right away was Teddy Bridgewater at Louisville.  I truly think the reason Heard didn't play in 2014 was that Strong and Watson didn't want Heard to rely on his feet as an escape for not understanding coverages.  The right call was made there.

All (4) players mentioned have to provide impactful contributions in 2015 for the Horns to improve IMO.
