He played spot duty against WVU.What's Lovett up to nowadays?
He missed all of last year due to injury and is still recovering. They are easing him back in.Imming was a pretty big recruiting win if I remember correctly. What is the deal there?
not a football coach, but i'd recommend getting thicker.It's crazy to think of how many injuries we've had at a key position and we've had enough depth there to still shut down teams. Can't really afford to lose any more and need to get some healthy for the back half of the schedule as those guys are having to play a lot of snaps out of necessity. Not sure what our plan is if we get any thinner at the position with injuries. We have some depth at safety that maybe in an emergency someone like Freyler could fill in as he already is pretty involved with the run defense from his spot?
This makes sense scientifically.not a football coach, but i'd recommend getting thicker.
Lanning prepared to be LB over an offseason, he didn't just switch over midseason. you can do that in 8-man iowa football, you can't do that in big boy football.What the heck are you talking about? We still have linebackers on the roster Heacocknhasn’tbused yet, who would be eons better than switching offensive players.
Including two scholarship freshmen who were here for Spring ball, in Mason Miller and Danny Inglis. And they aren’t the only ones.
Why are we doing Chicken Little?
I thought I saw Snyder in later in the WVU game. He might be a good candidate for middle LBer if things get desperate. Pretty fast and a little undersized for the DL anyway.Kenard Snyder, I think is who you are referring to? He is a DE, injured yes, not sure about severity.
We're going to play them extremely close to like we played WVU.UCF is the #1 rushing team in the B12 by a large margin. A 4-2-5 deployment would counteract that right? Maybe that could buy us some time until after the bye week.
Injury report is just next man inHere's my understanding about the LBs
Willich- done for year
Bacon- done for year
McLaughlin- might be back for November?
Klosterman- done for year
Brezina- Not 100%, maybe back soon?
Sadowksy - Not 100%, maybe back soon?
Kennard- I think he's back to playing now?
I also know Ebel and Ellis both had injuries vs WVU. Do we know their status?
If anyone has any corrections let me know. Pretty crazy situation.
The good news is that we have already played run-heavy teams in Houston and West Virginia and fared really well. The team will be well-prepared to play against this type of team due to recent opponents.UCF is the #1 rushing team in the B12 by a large margin. A 4-2-5 deployment would counteract that right? Maybe that could buy us some time until after the bye week.
This is true and the run game is their best asset, but it’s inflated a bit. They ran it all over some bad defenses and it’s trending the wrong way for them.UCF is the #1 rushing team in the B12 by a large margin. A 4-2-5 deployment would counteract that right? Maybe that could buy us some time until after the bye week.
Wasnt WVU the top rushing team in the B12 before they played us?UCF is the #1 rushing team in the B12 by a large margin. A 4-2-5 deployment would counteract that right? Maybe that could buy us some time until after the bye week.
