Miller's column notably omits ANY of the returning OL's as likely starters except D Taylor. He misses that most are coming back and I'd guess Rooney, Aplin, Miller, Stockwell and Blair will be in some of the spots.
Doesn't mention Dijon Murray as a LB replacement. Plus, I don't even know who this McKinney is. May be here for spring ball????
Anyone have anything about the Grady Train?
One complaint in this thread about the play calling was that we passed the ball with 9 minutes left when we should have run the ball; now it's we run the ball too much.
Look, it's easy for a scapegoat here and he's been it. RD17 says it best.
C'mon...kid played hard and made a mistake. This program does not punish him for that.
We are not losing the game IF we have a few catches and/or better passes in the 4th to sustain drives. It was execution not play calls and I agree that some were weird.
The only concern I see is the fact that the games these guys won occurred in spectacular fashion. The SD 2 OT game was the first and capped off by the NAU game. Hard for any team to win those big comebacks year after year. Thus I hope the other commenters are right that there should be more lopsided games next year.
I don't disagree with your last sentence, but IF WR's make catches AFTER the running into the punter and the blocked punt, we move the chains and get MO back on our side.
WR and QB need lots of work. Missed catches combined with poor passes is really the reason why everyone is mad about yesterday. If a couple of the drives in the 4th Q could have been continued, momentum shifts and it's off to EWU. Instead Studs missed guys or guys missed catches. It's not play calling- it's execution. Sorry that doesn't allow for a coach as scapegoat.
Frankly, it's good news that we aren't hearing about recruits as we are talking about playing a game this weekend. Haven't done that at this time of year in a lonnnnngggg time.
Completely agree. I love hoping UND is a championship contender, but I'm not so delusional as to think this will be a tough game. I'm guessing Bubba feels the same way and is expressing that to the team all week.
