I'm afraid that the ball control issues are there with Austin about as much as Hakim. TA has coughed up way too many balls for my liking. Most if not all of them were recovered by us but I'd certainly like to see him hold on to that ball a bit better. As far as the speed and all, I think the big difference is how he is able to change gears without looking like he is changing gears. TA seems a bit less decisive when he fields the punts but when he gets that little opening, he is way more able to set up the defenders. I think TA is MUCH smarter of a player than Hakim and will be much more of a weapon as well. His sophomore season will be huge IMO. I think he will do away with many of those drops, the staff will see first hand how and where his skills translate at this level, and he will know more how to help his QB help him. This kid is smart and he is waaaaay too determined to ever be satisfied. IMO, his size may help him more than many players in that he has and will continue to use it as a chip on his shoulder that he will knock off.
