I do not know anyone that made it today.. There was a short video posted on twitter it looked like Freshman WR Justin Hall had himself a day. It seems as if every couple days we hear one of the freshman Wr's has done pretty well. They all seem to have had their ups and downs which is to be expected. I like that it has not been just one doing well it really means the group as a whole is as good as we expected.
The video also showed freshman LB David Reuth making some plays, Gilbert scoring from about 10 yards out. It also looked like caleb huntely and Vernzo holmes were getting some time.
Hall had a great catch over a safety(I think it was Armani Mcnulty) It looked alot like last year with the safety never turning around to play the ball

Are you happy with the defense coach? "No."

Are you happy with the defense coach? "No." I was hoping you guys would catch that. Thats the main thing to take from the whole video |

Loooong way to go before we're back in the hunt. Roster is getting better but is now very young.

Loooong way to go before we're back in the hunt. Roster is getting better but is now very young. Just have to get better every game we will likely be a much better team games 6-12.. The goal should be just find a way to get a bowl. I know they are dumb and meaningless but going helps with confidence, recruiting and momentum going into the next year |

If we could scrape out 6 wins and get a bowl it would be huge

6 wins is a longshot. Doable, but a longshot, and requires some really good luck, and an upset or two.

I've kind of just given up on ever having a defense that isn't terrible.

But hoping and recognizing the possibility is nothing to worry too much about. Even doom and gloom cardfan seems to be leaning in that direction. |

Im not a rah rah guy but I really think we have the players on the roster now to turn it around. They are just to young to do it this year. I think we will see some great individual efforts and exciting plays this year. But then we will just see some silly mistakes and head scratchers. Freshman being Freshman
