Pre Spring 2013 Team Outlook

[sioux24/7]

I know basketball and hockey are just reaching conference tournament time but I just cannot wait for football this upcoming season! So excited to see Mollberg and how he can handle the offense and excited to hopefully see our defense improve. I have always been a big fan of Javen Butler so hopefully he can step up.

[homer]

We need a few to step up in the secondarty this year. Hopefully Javen can be one of those guys. I think we were all pretty excited when he signed a few years ago.

I saw the MidCo sports is going to have a spring game special for all four schools.

Sports Network Big Sky Spring guide-a mention for Hardin, and the spring practice dates. Respect has to be earned people.

I'm very excited to see how much players developed this winter. Maybe Shaugabay is the dark horse rb this spring? The qb battle should be on pay per view, it will be awesome.

It would be nice to get the Cal QB, Allan Bridgford. Although if he does graduate this summer he is eligible to go to FBS schools. Has one, possibly two years of eligibility. Works well in pro style offense.

Are they going to do another HBO "hard knocks" style webcast for spring ball? that would be awesome!

That's a good idea. Plenty of juicy story lines too.

I agree. I think that it would be good from two standpoints:

1. Increased competition for the position.

2. Insurance against one or both freshmen getting injured or not being quite ready yet.

After watching this I wouldn't touch that qb with a ten foot pole. His mechanics are god awful. He pushes the ball with t-Rex arms instead of flicking the ball with a fully extended arm. He's inaccurate and doesn't throw a very nice ball. He's no Braden Hanson to say the least. Ill gladly sick with Bartels and Mollberg instead.

Pj sparks was named the beef master for 2013 and Seth Stanchik was named the 'big guy' beef master for 2013. Impressive that sparks beat out Bridges who has a huge advantage with his low weight. Also nice to see Stanchik win this. He struggled after coming back from that gruesome leg injury last year, hopefully this next year he can be a beast.

I want to talk football. People continue to talk!

[geaux_sioux]

Soooooo...... It'll be very exciting to see the new punter this year. I bet he's the real deal.

[Green617]

Fill us in. Who is he, Where is he from etc....The punter and field position is a huge part of the game

He also was a wr in high school so as usual the coaches recruit an athletic kicker/punter and not just a kicker/punter

[geaux_sioux]

The motto for football strength and conditioning is bigger faster stronger. I've heard from a very good source that the offensive line had a particularly great winter and as a whole got way bigger and stronger and yet also got much faster.

[geaux_sioux]

Also the wr group got way stronger and ran very well as evidence by Golladay running a 4.5 which is at least a .3 sec increase.

Now keep the offense injury free!!

[UNDColorado]

I am looking forward to seeing the progress this spring! Roll Tribe!

This year... I hope the defense dominates in the spring game. That will make me rest a bit easier over the summer.

I'm not sure our dbs can handle the wr group.... The matchup in the trenches will be a good one though

Yeah, I have feeling your are right on the DBs.

[geaux_sioux]

They'll be improved for sure but by how much will remain to be seen. Just keep in mind that our wr will give every team fits regardless of how good their DBS are

If we have a running game, can protect the QB, and have the QB make the throws.....then yes.

Glad to hear the OL had a good winter. I heard Anderson really pushed with strength and a fast 40/Agility time for Walker. A lot of Personal Records accomplished.
