We had assumed this 4 weeks ago that he wouldn't be a part of the team. Coming back we have Bigach, Alvis, Davis and Ganglione that have gotten reps this year. Bigach has some potential to be solid (not great) but can realistically only play about 50-60% of the snaps. Ganglione is just to...

I disagree about most of our issues being due to injury and inexperience. I think unless Morris has been hurt all the year the main issue is that everybody on this board and coaches have overestimated his ability. At this point he is not a good tackler and doesn't seem to have a knack to shed...

The bottom line is unless there is massive improvement or some unforeseen position change/recruiting help resulting in better d-line and linebacker play we are going to be hurting really bad. This year dline is like watching somebody die from a Civil War gunshot wound, slow and painful. Next...

Who was 61 that came in and played backup center the last series. Did Boffeli switch jersey?

I do think a mistake was made by the coaches here. With a struggling Tyler Nielsen I am not sure why Morris wasn't move to LEO earlier in the year and Bruce Davis given more of a shot a middle. Morris isn't capable of filling the gaps in the run game against a team like PSU. I was also...

I think unless coaches see guys like Raymon or Hardy are going to be major contributers next year then we need to go JUCO. That is assuming Cooper and Davis are going to take a step forward. If we are counting on Bigach to be more than a role player we are in trouble.

My thoughts were he just can't play with enough leverage. With 5 of the 7 guys that rotated in the dline yesterday being seniors we are going to be really hurting next year. Binns had a very good game yesterday playing containment and I think Alvis is a much better dend than DT. Alvis maybe...

Spears is about 20 pounds away from contributing at d-end and McMinn is about 50. Spears I hope develops into a pass rusher but it is hard to do when he just moved to the position in fall camp. Even assuming that Cooper and Davis improve and can be solid players next year who is left? Alvis...

I wasn't saying there is not talent in the RS freshman and Freshman classes. But looking specifically at the dline who are the guys that have the talent or even the body to help next year. Cooper, Carl Davis, Raymon and Hardy are about it. Carl Davis is having injury problems but hopefully he...

The fact ISU scored 24 points was their mistakes and not our defense. Fumbled snap, 2 missed FG etc. We forced nothing and couldn't stop them at all. For that matter we relied on Tenn Tech to stop themselves and we could rarily get a stop unless they made a mistake. Until we adjust our third...

I agree with this completely. We could be in a very bad three year stretch. Keep in mind that this years team is not young. We are very experienced in terms of upperclassmen in the two deeps (probably one of the most experienced I can remember). Other than Coker, Alvis, Morris and Kirksey no...

I have watched a lot of college football over the years and I have never seen a coach/team be so woefully inept/gutless in the 2 minute offense. That is probably why we did what we did. They didn't kneel on it but they did the closest thing to it. No other coach hands the ball to your...

I think the difference being that Schofield and Watt were able to get after the Qb better than anybody on our roster. Unless you are hearing about some huge jump in pass rushing ability from Binns I am not seeing it.

I know the staff is very selective on the JUCO route but a JUCO dline would make a lot of sense for next year.

The thing about our defense is that we will never give up over 30 points a game. But when we are bad like 2006 and 2007 we don't force a lot of turnovers and give up a huge time of possession. This results in the offense getting a lot of bad field position and getting out of sync. Thus even...

I believe we are just an injury or two away from being very weak in the defensive front seven this year. I also believe that unless Cooper becomes a great player next year in the middle that our defensive line will be very weak next year as well.

I agree, I watched Carl Davis because I think his development is key to the season. I was not impressed in the spring game and it doesn't look like he can keep his feet very well in a couple of clips here. On one play he pursued to the opposite side and tripped which allowed Deandre Johnson to...

If I was handing out scholarships it would go 1 JC PG (provide a more ready to play player as this is the position that is the biggest need) 1 Fr PG (hopefully Gessell)-Gessell could also provide minutes at the 2 spot depending on the competition at PG and injuries. 1 Scoring wing 1 PF...

I guess the Dline could become a strength although I don't see them becoming anywhere near as good as the 2002 addition. What made the 2002 good was the DTs were great against the run and really plugged things up. From what I saw of Carl Davis in the spring he didn't get a lot of leverage to...

I agree with KF that we football should have an early signing period.
