TOB likes his freshman class quite a bit, and without too many pressing needs at the moment, he expects he'll redshirt all but the specialists:
"As of today, I would say no," O'Brien said. "After the first scrimmage, we’re really happy with the freshman class and we’re finally to a point where we don’t have to count on them, where they can redshirt and get themselves academically better off after one year without all the pressures of playing in the games. Now, that doesn’t mean a week from now I won’t change my mind, but right now, at this point, it’s a good freshman class, it rates up there with any of the freshman classes we’ve had, but now we’ve got some depth in the program and we don’t have to count on them."
