I never expect a blowout against Big Sky teams. You just never know how they’re going to play. NAU is the kind of team that can randomly play like world beaters. At home is huge but still, I’m cautious with big sky teams.
I’d like to see Smith slowly add a good 10lbs over the course of the year. That should help him between the tackles and allow him to keep his quickness. Might help his top end speed too.
Alex Cloyd is another example. Dude was a beefcastle and we hardly used him! Would’ve been a monster DE too. Roster management has been a gripe of mine under Bubba. There are obvious moves and they either don’t make them or wait til it’s so painfully obvious and necessary that it’s a wasted opportunity.
