Swain is a Godsend, and will be against teams that are more physical but he is not a speed guy. I think as the season progresses he'll show up bigger. The guy I am worried about the most staying healthy is Mike Thomas. He will be near 100% v. Nebraska and with him we are a much better team. Plus we are thin at receiver though our younger guys are coming on. I would NOT use him to return kicks. Ty Holmes hasn't played yet, or not much, and I was hoping after a year of rehabbing injuries he would be back. We look, I have been told, set to go other than Freeman and Allen who are gone for the year. Of course Monken doesn't disclose any injury information.
