While there will be more passing in Sherman's offense, the Aggies will remain a running team, so the tailbacks will be the focal point. Goodson said that he did not mind if he does not accumulate 1,000 yards as long as Stephens and Gray get good reps.
Gray is not the only freshman turning heads. Wide receiver Jeff Fuller has also been taking reps with the first and second strings and was a starter on Sherman's depth chart. McGee said having a big target at 6 foot 4 inches to throw at was very encouraging, especially since Fuller is so young.
The change in offense might have some worried, but it has McGee itching to start. He said that as a quarterback, he is looking forward to getting to pass the ball around more. Because the option is all but gone from the new offense, McGee said he was glad his body would be saved from the pounding normally reserved for running backs.
Coaches and players said they were just anxious to get out on the field and play someone other than themselves. Goodson stated that the team wanted to be largely unheralded and come in under the radar.
