I highly doubt weber will be a bottom team this year. They loaded up on transfers that have made a massive difference. They'll be good.

Can't disagree with the heart and lack of breaking on the part of the d. They believe they can be very good. If they clean up the opening drives of each half against RMU we shut them out. They still can't allow 200 yards on the ground though, that can't happen against a legit team.

It's great that we won but we need to be much much better to have a chance next week. We improved from week 1 to 2 and I'm proud of the way we greased out an ugly win but giving up 200+ yards in the ground and having the offensive performance that we did is unacceptable. Standards need to be high, nobody should be happy with a squeaked out win against Robert Morris no matter how much better they are than previous years. It's not that there weren't tons of positives to build on but there were a few glaring deficiencies that need to be fixed asap.

Defensively it sure was.

Yup. Shaugs is what we need.

The gap can't get wider than it was last year.

I am worried about their QB. Also I think they're going to end up a lot better than last year. They will be good.

For the record I'm for sticking with him since that's the only way he'll get better. I've seen him make a ton of NFL throws, I've also seen him make some JV throws. I just don't understand his need to throw almost everything 90 mph and how heavy and sloppy his feet are in the pocket. I firmly believe that if he fixes those two things he'll be a very good qb.

That was my least favorite part about Mussman and co.... Edwards and others were far and away the best at their positions and didn't start.

I think Bubba and staff like their young OL. I say WR and RB and QB because they're harder to find and easier to just plug in and contribute. I do agree that the trenches are and always should be priority #1 from here on out. We just need a game breaker at WR and RB to make defenses worried.

My guess would be a nose or big DE. Most likely nose since he's used some type of rush hashtag for pass rushers.

Pretty accurate. I think if the coaches can land an FBS dropdown QB RB and WR things can turn around by next year.

I appreciate yours posts since you are always level headed and full of good insight but I think you may be a little biased to Mollberg. His ability is off the charts but I'm not sure if the mental side of the game is on par. Sure he's only a soph but he's the starting qb and needs to play like it, he's not Joey Bradley. Lazy feet and lack of awareness of when to flick a short pass to an open man and when to rifle one have been his major weaknesses so far. If he can improve those he could be great. It's a long season but he needs to be better as do the OL and WR.

Mollberg has a cannon but no touch. His feet are also a mess. They need to be fixed.

I like what Simmons brings but I question his durability. Just watching him make contact with defenders is awkward. I've seen him run into defenders instead of exploding into them. He hurt his shoulder yesterday because he lowered a limp shoulder into a defender. He needs to flex that shoulder/arm if he lowers it. I don think he can handle more than 15-18 carries a game. That's why we need a lot more Shaugs.

Will Rattelle is on pace to have 138 tackles this year. He is who we thought he was.

So is their defense.

But if the d touches the ball it becomes live for the offense, that's why they don't generally. It's dangerous and can lead to dumb plays that can cost games.

it depends on which side of the LOS the ball lands.

Studsrud?

Good kid, he just doesn't have the vision. That RMU true fr back had outstanding vision, and good size too.

Speaking of walk ons, Thompsons own Reineke has had himself one hell of a second half.

More Shaugs

O !@#$. Take a seat bitch.

Wentz has two picks already. Weber has some long athletic dbacks.
