      Well, not exactly. But, Whitt does say that he thinks Snowden will see some time on offense

      KSL Article on Snowden

      I like it.

      Personally I’m not a huge fan of having our best corner, and arguably our best player on defense, play more snaps than he needs to. I guess I understand the argument that if he can score points on offense then he should play, but it also increases fatigue and chances of injury.

      During Big XII media days, I heard Whit mention Lander Barton may see time on Offense, too. If it’s strategic, and limited, I’m all for it. The thing is, they will have to play enough offensive snaps where the ball doesn’t always go to them so that they can become actual weapons. Otherwise, the defense knows who to key in on.

      So what does that say about the players we already have on offense? Not good enough that we have to move good players on defense to offense to make up for the lack of athleticism and talent on offense? That’s what the moves would indicate to me.

      Not only that, the portal transfers they brought in during the offseason are not living up to what they had expected, anticipated or at least hoped for. Maybe I’m looking too much into it, but that would be my conclusion.

      I think it’s great. They talked about how Snowden may play offense but he is very likely to return kicks and punts. I love that! It’s been a revolving door at that position since Covey left. I can see Barton playing in goal line situations. I don’t think it says anything about the offense not having weapons there, I think it just throws in a bit of flair that could potentially confuse a defense in a big play situation.

      I don’t view this as a negative. Worked well for Vaki. Snowden is a great player, put him on the field as much as he can handle without getting injured or burned out.
