Neinas approached MacIntyre and asked for the green light to pursue a junior college snapper. He got it, looking first to the south and Smith, who "was real obvious," Neinas said.

"Yeah, I think I can be the leading guy," Spruce said. "I'm not going to be able to do the same things down the field (as Richardson). He just had a different level of speed that is just freaky. Not one guy is going to replace Paul, but we're super deep this year and we're going to have more guys making plays as opposed to just one big playmaker."
