I’ll echo these sentiments.  Thanks for the info!

Good get for the staff.  DB position has been really good under CTA.  Can’t wait to see his 4.4 speed coming around the end on a corner blitz

Probably explains targeting edge rushers in the transfer portal

I mentioned him somewhere else but he is very high on my list.  I think he can bring a dimension off the edge that would be huge.

Could make this a family affair having 3 sets of brothers on the D next year.  

We will never know but it would be interesting to find out who all we interviewed and were considering.  I’d have to imagine this job didn’t generate near the interest that we all assumed it would. Seems like the pay is going to be decent so money wasn’t a problem after all

A result of the new coordinator or a transfer/new recruit we don’t about yet?

Alabama all over the Zags. I guess if the ZAGS  would ever play in a major in the power conference they would not have a CAKE WALK to a 1 SEED Not saying they are not a good or great team but when you play in a tough conference year in and year out wins and losses are different. Kentucky has  wins that would not be there if they had played in the big 10 . So not always the best to go by wins and loss totals 

 

 

I agree regarding conference strength but to the Zags credit they are willing to play several big non conference games every year.

 I hate complaining about the refs but man they have been crap on the PI. 

Consistently 1 sided too.  Let’s miss a face mask on Wentz but go ahead and call holding

I think with the right type of offense he will be fine.  An off season with the first team and a scheme developed to fit his skill set would make a big difference.  Getting DJ Matthews back may also open up the middle of the field more.  A question I do have for those more familiar with the High School game, is it reasonable to think that Payne and Cooper will get time right away or be more developmental talent?

Refs are as checked out as our team

None of them were ever that good. Fryfogle was wildly overrated, Penix had 3 season ending injuries. 

Throw in DJ Mathews injury.. and there ya go. Marshall, Swinton, Hewitt.. notta. 

We don't have a single WR that can get any sort of YAC, at all

 

It seems that none of our WRs are able to get separation from the DBs. Compound that with the fact that the OL can’t hold blocks to give them extra time or create holes and you have our offense in a nutshell. Easily defended

There was a play where one of our guys got wrapped up and the replay showed 2 different targeting violations. You would think that being one of the only reviewable penalties would be enforced properly 

It will be good to see how we stack up against a good but not great team.  This will be a good litmus test for our program

We still have a good team we just need to gain a little momentum and figure out how to win. Losing to 2 top 10 teams doesn’t mean the season is a bust.  We will see more of what the team is made of when we play the mid level big ten teams.  It’s very frustrating especially with how everything worked out last year but a large majority of schools would be 1-2 with our schedule.

Speaking to the halftime argument it was high school band week and a lot of families had traveled down to watch the bands, who left at halftime.
