Finally an optimistic opinion about our schedule..
We can win 2 of our out of conference get ranked and we don’t have to play the two Utah schools who shared eague title
Great enthusiasm this year! Great discussions! But after first scrimmage nothing! Not a single post about the scrimmage. (I was not there) Strange indeed. Is it no news is good news or no news is very bad?
I don't see how Coach Hawk couldn't spin the scrimmage into something positive unless it was a catastrophe, like an all-team brawl or something.
"Well, we've got some young guys still developing and some returnees who are a little rusty from summer but will be back to their old selves in no time" is realistically the worst thing anybody be willing to announce.
So I have to imagine that the blackout is just because Hawk doesn't feel like talking about it and is not something too bad.
From what ive seen, Hawk keeps his cards tight, with the exception of getting the ball to Doss. We’ll have a good idea of where we are at in a few weeks. My hope, as others have commented, improvement in the D. I’ll throw in increased efficiency inside the 20.
on offense we need to be more effective in the ground. We need to be able to pick up first downs on third and three by running the ball. I know we expect Tehran to be a factor with that but we are also needing to replace two offensive linemen and we have some good young big lineman who may improve our run blocking. This will help inside the twenty at both ends of the field. I remember one play I think against Weber where we had third and short deep in our end, threw to Doss along the sideline where he was double covered and it was incomplete. Short punt followed, resulting in short drive for TD. On third and one or two we have to be confident we can get it.
We deserve this wish.....We don’t have to be world class in running the ball, just good enough so that running in typical running situations is not precluded. It would make all aspects of offense better.
