🏈 In the preseason there was a lot of talk about R. Foster and his role with the WR's.

Does anyone know what the real story is for RF? I remember the threads here in September with a few saying it's going to be Stewart and Ridley with Foster coming in with the second teamers.

No idea what the real story is, but from my experience as a coach, I would say that his work ethic in practice, willingness to block, attitude, etc. probably led to his disappearing act. Guys like Cam Sims and Gehrig Dieter blocked their asses off. True freshman TE, Miller Forristall was often split out wide and blocked well.
These are simply my best guesses.

You'd be correct with your guesses here. The only thing that can be added is the discipline issues extended beyond the playing field.

This is one of the lighter, more funny (ironic?) stories of this past season. Kiffin didn't think that Foster was consistent. He was doing what he was supposed to be doing when he was supposed to be doing those things ... Lane's criticism, mind you.

There is no doubt Lane liked Stewart, a lot. It's very easy to see why as well.
