Todman exhibit tremendous (ess eee see?) speed throughout fall camp and he was/is expected to provide an exciting wrinkle in UConn's offense this season. His speed could prove to be a major asset as the season rolls on. The offense's lack of a big play threat last season has been well documented and, likewise, lamented universally. While the sudden development of WRs Ellis Gaulden and Kashif Moore are expected to allow the team to stretch the field, the addition of Todman could make this offense downright nasty.
Well...that last sentence may be more hyperbole than fact. However when your passing offense averages a very pedestrian 6.7 yards per attempt you really have nowhere to go but up.
I'd expect Todman to play a Maclin/Harvin utility role in the offense. Edsall would be remiss to limit him to a few spot carries off the bench. His speed makes him so much more valuable than a mere "change of pace" back and I hope to see him split out wide or even put in the slot du temps en temps.
Oregon State experienced tremendous success running James Rodgers on fly-sweep after fly-sweep...just a hint Coach Edsall...just a hint.
