Are you kidding? He looks really good at RB, did you miss when he carried like 5 guys into the endzone? Hicks is gone next year and he's going to be tearing it up with Anderson.

Curious of this as well. I know he is mostly at RB right now due to depth concerns but he looks like a much better match for a WR like Nixon

Recruited as a WR and played RB and WR in high school,
Here is his HUDL video. I re-watched it and found myself noticing that on a number of the plays they don't as much block anyone as Snell just outrunning people.

Nope but I knew that one of you would take the bait. Congrats.

I think he was recruited for that RB/WR type role similar to what Nixon plays. Not a traditional back that gets standard handoffs, but carries the ball in a variety of ways and lines up as a pass catcher both out of the backfield and also split out as a receiver.

Recruited as a true freshman lethal weapon, and he is.
Agreed 100%

I like it. But we are all going to miss Mat Boesen during the 1st half this weekend and will our troops tire without a deep DE rotation?

Watched him too and he can move along with great burst and speed. I remember that he was not highly recruited but Michigan offered him. These Waxahachie dudes can play 1st team reps right now

Let Ty get reps at DE, Boesen will be well rested for the 2nd half, then use Ty in obvious running situations in the 2nd half as a hybrid.
Really need Evans to play his best assignment football to date.

You could see that Snell has spent time training at the track. When he was running in a straight line, even defenders who had a good angle on him got left in the dust.

The lack of major programs that were after the this kid made no sense to me. I just assumed he was either smaller or slower than all the recruiting sites said he was. Turns out he was bigger and faster.
I thought he was going to be tackled for sure... then he blew past everyone like they weren't even trying.

I think this is one of the strengths in how TCU recruits and one of the biggest flaws to the recruiting services as a whole.
If someone only goes by the tape and doesn't really know about any of the other players on the tape how do they accurately judge the players they are trying to watch. For years we have known that Patterson and his staff have spent countless hours traveling to get actual looks at kids, to talk to opposing coaches, and I think it is one big key to continually finding a player like Snell who it appears to have been overlooked by many other staffs and recruiting sites.
Play clock at zero was likely a concern...

It wasn't at zero! They kicked it with one second left. Plus, why are you up against the clock on a FG attempt? Just poor in-game coaching there
And after the take the TO you have to either go for it or punt

Baylor is Trash.
They went with the smart play where they turned the ball over midfield.
It was getting close to zero and the kick looked very rushed. It doesn't really matter in the end because he missed the 1st attempt anyway.
Also, I agree it was poor coaching to be that rushed on the attempt in the 1st place.
