Random thoughts
Transfer portal - our defense definitely isn't as good as it would have been with the guys we lost. However all of the OL transfers, Hoos and Red have made our offense much better than it would have been without the portal so it's probably a wash. I think we just have to get used to needing to score 30 plus points in most games to win this year. I'll never feel comfortable unless we are up 16 or more (two TD's and two 2 point conversions to tie).
Tommy - definitely took a step forward this year and his running at the right time has been huge. Now if he can only start connecting on some of the deep balls. I said it a year or two ago, that he tends to over throw those.....which I think is because he is worried about getting pick. Depending on situation and where we are at on the field....need to let our guy make a play.
Dennis - He has played a few games, they planning on burning his redshirt? If so I'd think his use would maybe increase and/or try to send him deep sometime?
Secondary - Ocansey seems like he will be decent and continue to improve, along with the other younger corners when they get put in there. That said I think overall as a group we are going to continue to be butter at times. Just need to make some big plays now and then to offset it.
TE's - if our offense sucked I'd probably be on the we need more TE recieptions, but the offense is clicking and Danny is calling play to take advantage of what they are giving us. I have a feeling Zalvaney will still make some key plays before it's all said and done.
I think we will likely go 3-2 the rest of the say. We could pull out a win against SDSU. If we do beat SDSU, I would still be afraid we'd slip up against somebody that we should beat and still possibly end at 7-4, which would at least still be in the playoffs. Our bye is at a perfect time. After getting a few games in, hopefully with a week off and getting coached up things will start to click even more for the OL and young corners. Sure would be nice to go 8-3 though and get a home game!
