Blowing up the line can create some turnovers. That is when they get in trouble. That offense isn't made to come from behind either.<br /><br />At the spring game, we made more big plays. The D still dominated, but the O did a lot better. Either the O is better (hard to imagine it isn't - worst offense in D 1 for the last 10 years can't be hard to beat) or the D dropped in which case we are in for a LONG year. I'm betting it it the former, in which case we could surprise people.<br /><br />I'm psyched for 6:30 am CST.

I just don't understand why we didn't go out and get a stud kicker. To rely on Lich., seems like Russian roulette to me.

According to reports , punting has not been very strong in pre season and the FG kicking has also been lacking. With all the close games that we lost last year, getting the FG after a stalled drive COULD BE THE DIFFERENCE between a "W" and an "L". Or for that matter , a missed PAT.UGH - that would be so depressing !!!

Towles is 6'5 250, was a very decorated high school player and then didn't really do much at a school not know for its football. if he can be similar to what Murphy was for us two seasons ago, this season will have some upside.<br /><br />with the weather wet and windy, i think we'll force a few GT turnovers on the pitches. wouldn't surprise me if the D took one to the house.
