We don't have many glaring needs, but our kicking game is one of them. We need a kick off specialist who can put the ball in the end-zone. We also need a field goal kicker who can hit 50 yarders. It didn't hurt ISU this season, but I'd hate to lose a game because our FG kicker's range ended at 42 yards. Hoping Assalley, the transfer or preferred walkon can fill those roles.
Our other needs could take this team to the next level are:
Our other needs could take this team to the next level are:
- Dominate run side. We need a T, G, C combination that just dominates the opponent defenses- even OU and Texas. Hoping Newell, Downing and Foster can be that group.
- A WR that can blow the roof off of defenses. Hutchinson, Kolar and Allen are an elite trio of receivers. But a super quick 4th guy would make our offense dynamic.
- Will McDonald. He has been outstanding as a pass rushing specialist. He could be All American if he can get bigger/stronger to be an every down DE.
- We could use a tall young CB step up to be a shut down corner against taller opponent WR's. It would be great if Tampa can be that guy,
