They probably keep in contact w recruits they connected with but didn't sign, as well as star camp attendees.

He's in high demand, and the early moves are completely understandable. Coaches like him, Nathaniel Hackett, Khari Jones, Burl Toler, Gus Argenal (basketball) move, learn from lots of people, absorb, and move on.

Up-and-coming African American coaches are in especially high demand. It's easier, and more visible, to hire a black coach than a black chemistry professor.

Welcome to the Big Sky, Coach Plough.

The Sacramento Observer

"Marion’s up-tempo offense is specifically designed to run the ball downhill. It’s about tempo and spacing, using multiple formations to get favorable matchups to run the ball. Its main formation is aligning the quarterback in the shotgun with two backs to one side. Marion, in an earlier interview with the Athletic website, said the go-go offense is predicated on chunk plays, which come from teams overcommitting to stop the run.

“ 'How you play without the ball determines how much you love your teammates,” Marion said during a coaching clinic, emphasizing that selflessness and spreading the ball around are among the keys to success. While most college offenses average 60-65 plays per game, the go-go offense strives to average 80.' "

Moe and Trimble were great.

Reggie Bush, was apparently has two current lawsuits against the NCAA, one for defamation, the other for NIL.

It's been years since I recall us having a player who can rack up sacks. Nick King had 8 sacks in 2013, also tallied a lot of TFL.

How is the Bull and Mouth restaurant, replacement for the former Mr. Bs (last location)?

Are you saying we may have Meyer for another year?

Will they get an auto bid?

How would this stand out from the other three more convenient locations?

Got it. QB transitions in our history to consider. Even during our legendary 82 season, our backup sophomore QB (Barry) got snaps. Then Roger Wilkinson was the apparent heir, but juco QB Chris Peterson came in and won the job. (RW converted to RB.)

Since Harper and Rasor only got token appearances, some might assume they don't have an inside track. Or the young HC didn't appreciate or see the need to give any backup QB development time in blowout victories. Not to mention what happens if MH goes down w an injury in the 4th quarter of a blowout game. (I liked the mobility I saw in both.)

Since Harper and Rasor didn't see real PT, why didn't either redshirt Frosh QB get PT?

Nobody suggested taking MH out in the 2nd quarter for a "bunch of games". But when you're up over 4 touchdowns in Q2 vs a doormat, why not put in a reserve QB with our 1s against the opponents 1s? And when we're pushing a 50-point spread in Q3 vs No CO, why not insert a reserve?

Beyond stats, playing time provides motivation, competition, lessons and confidence.

Ge's also been offered by Kent State and UNLV. Bio includes:

130 TOT, 6 INT, 18 PD, 1 TD
Unanimous First Team All-Ivy DB
Buck Buchanan FCS DPOY Finalist ***

Our depth at WR helped when Hutton was hurt, but one promising non-playing WR hit the portal.

We saw what happened when we relied on one RB, and he got hurt.
