On both sides of the ball. I'm gonna bet that there hasn't been an RU game where so may players saw their first game action in quite some time.
 
Not sure there were so many first timers on Offense ( other than QB Retig ). Think Miller, Nelson some time on OL LY.
Defense had many 1st timers... LB Lewis to play 3 years at South Carolina.
Secondary was full of new guys.... Wharton, Saquan Hampton, Blessuan Austin, etc.

Did anybody see the injured Kiy Hester #2 on the sideline ?....
 
On the OL: Applefield played RG from midway through the third when Muller limped off. Cole played the whole 4th. I think Webb and Heeman played a few drives as well with Miller at C.

On the DL: Wilkins played a bunch in the 4th. I think Wiafe, Nash, and Hogan played some as well. I think Margolis and Davis got a few series in the 4th as well.
 
Adams had a few big hits in the first half as well. After one tackle I had to pull out the roster to see who he was. Unfortunately Groh was going on and on about nothing in particular so we didn't get a lot of play by play that would have told me who made the tackles.

Groh was such a windbag.
 
2nd string Oline looked to be in almost the whole 4th quarter and played well but some of that may have been the opponent and fatigue. They are big but young so glad to see them get experience. Really hope the OL starters stay healthy this year though as the 2nd string needs more experience.
