I disagree. SDSU was on fire to start that game. After that 20 play drive they were dead on d and out of sync on o. They had NDSU on the ropes before that drive.
This is what we need to happen at every position because injuries happen. Our backups need to be the type of guys that make us wonder how great they would be if they could only get more touches.
So he's .5 slower than Chappell over 100 m. He is very fast though. I remember seeing a tweet from when he was a tr FR UM saying he had the second fastest top speed reading on the team using some under Armour type device on every player.
He shouldn't be a WR. But he should be split out wide a lot more. Quick WR screen to him with two blockers sounds nice. There are so many ways to get him out in space to use his moves and speed that we haven't done yet. Want to see him in the NFL? He needs to be a swiss army knife.
Santiago should be used like Percy Harvin. Put him all over the place and make it really hard on the D. Get him in space in all sorts of ways and let him return punts. It could end up being the shot in the arm that the offense needed. Throw in the WR from Seattle and we could be in business.
Things can change once you hit the real world. If he's going to be a running back then you'd have to think Santiago would move to WR. If he plays LB then hopefully he can step in a contribute right away.
