just noticed Abiola Olaniyan is no longer in our DB room... and Jaylen Jones switched to #18 (from #36)
 
It's tiny, but an underrated part of college football are the players with non-traditional numbers.

I love to see linebackers in the 30s (Lutrus, Pearcy Price was #22 in '98, IIRC. That was fun), a non-QB/K/P with a single digit (except for #1. Not a big fan of #1), a DB in the teens, or a DL with #11. I don't know why (Don't really care why), but I will automatically root for that player.

I will say though that I like my TEs in the 80s. Again. I don't know why.

Looks like 2 others are gone from the 2020 roster.... former Juco OL who joined in 2019, Andrew Torres-Silva and a
2020 recruit, OL Remon Young

Man - I wish there were more conversation around the depth at OL and LB. I am concerned about the depth at OL and thought we were light at LB to start with without the Ganyi Achilles.

With all the depth at WR and RB, we don't need no stinkin' OL, we'll just run over and around the tacklers.
LB? We don't need them either with all the points the WR's and RB's will be putting on the board...............hopefully. :rolleyes:

I think it’s very telling he put him on that list while not listing another quarterback. Little doubt to me that , unless he totally falls flat in spring, Leon is the opening game starter.

My impression is JZ is too erratic and SK tries to be too perfect. I'd like to see him just let it go and not worry about making a mistake. He throws a great pass, has touch for long and short passes and is accurate.

I have always been a proponent of moving speed up. Move a strong safety who can tackle and is fast to OLB, move a quick linebacker to D End. Anything to increase speed on the field. Watts is the interesting name to me, a little raw but many people were raving about his abilities coming out of high school.

That's the SEC formula for success.............speed. Except they get quick guys at all positions and the desired size for each position, especially D-line.

That really goes back to the U in the 80's with Erickson and Johnson. Speed everywhere on defense.

yes I am a BC grad and I am bummed that my sports stink. That is why I have been here since the beginning of the D 1 journey. I am a realist and I understand those that are super optimistic, I do. I just write what I see, our views are subjective, it’s a message board.

If you want just optimism scroll past my comments, if you want to discuss my comments then I’d love to discuss. Some posters bring awesome insight and i love talking the X’s and O’s and the Jimmies and Joes of football especially all things O Line.

I apologize if my views can sometimes be direct but I refuse to sugar coat the situation we are in.

Been so long I forget numbers. But there was a d back who should have made a play! Actually I don’t know what the drill was so maybe not. Who will come out as 1 qb
