> Shooooooooooweeeee!!!! Sounds like there's a QB competition once again, folks. The heralded young recruit Barker versus the SEC veteran and equally touted Towles. Towles took his lumps last year, but with the experience he gained in the SEC, he should definitely have the edge. Towles has the arm we all thought he had and at times showed incredible accuracy. Both have shown incredible leadership according to the coaches and I look forward to seeing who wins out.
> George Asafo-Adjei is a BEAST. Dear sweet Baby Jesus, he has the body of a college Junior and he should still be in high school. Let that sink in. He's already made the two-deep and should anchor an OLine that sorely needed talent last year.
> Kengera Daniel and Denzil Ware. Again, I don't know what Korem is feeding our boys, but it is working. Are you KIDDING ME!? Ware gained THIRTY pounds? He's now almost as big as Bud! Unbelieveable.
> Badet is back and scorching the secondary like we remember.
> Our secondary is making plays again. Knock on wood, I would not be disappointed if our secondary made plays this year like they did last year.
> LINEBACKERS!!!! HALLELUJAH!!!!!!! Hatcher should make a sizable leap in production this year under the tutelage of Buh. I think once our OLBs can successfully and consistently set the edge, our defense will flourish. I hope that starts with having a coach specifically to teach the nuances of that position..
> Stoops wants Kemp. Who the Hell didn't? Horton is showing much more burst and production so far from what we've heard. All he has to do is learn to hold the ball and he could be absolutely lethal. Boom, try to start practicing, bud.
> Dawson has installed his air-raid in 3 days. Sound familiar? Hopefully, with this new scheme, Stoops won't try to meddle with the play calling as much. Dawson should provide ample running plays to suit Stoops' desires for a hard-nosed offense while also staying true to the passing spread.
> Coaches are overall happy with how the guys are performing so far and the media is impressed.
> Still waiting on a certain QB recruit to commit any day.... I hope.
> Can't wait to see how our defense aligns this fall. I love the multiple looks but I hope we stay in a base 4-3 often, especially if our DLine can't get push like last year.
> In non-football news, the MBB team is still undefeated
> We've got the talent, and now we have to coach it up and get it experience. We can do some good things this year, you all. The pieces are falling into place.
Mashup Question: Which area of the defense do you think will be most improved? Line, linebackers, nickel/hybrid, or secondary. How do you think this affects our defensive alignments? Will we have to stay multiple with 5-2-4, 4-2-5, and all the weird alignments or will we be able to assert dominance with a base 4-3 or 3-4 and stick with it?
Have a great weekend, a safe (but fun) Spring Break, and I hope to see you all back here next Sunday! Go Big Blue!!!
