From the reporting here they were without Austin Hatfield who is an excellent FB and Catron who is competing for the starting safety position. Was anyone else held out?

Did Willis run the ball any with the varsity? What about K. Taylor? Who is playing WR other than Taylor? Edwards?

Johnson played and had a couple TD's but he was very limited in carries. Probably precautionary to limit the chance of injury with his concussion history. Carr, Fletcher, and the backups definitely took the Lion's share of carries in addition to Belfry working on the passing game. For Belfry to look as impressively as they did on offense this early it is actually a bit of a pleasant surprise considering they were without Hatfield and used Johnson so sparingly.

#19 was the other WR and made a TD catch.. Bostic kid maybe? Supposedly looked pretty good.

Willis saw some good snaps on offense and defense. Didn't hear if Keaton played any RB, but as the backup QB he threw a pretty TD pass supposedly.

Reitterate that LB was far and away a position of concern the other night. Don't know if Hatfield factors in to the discussion at that position.. as he would certainly add speed and a heavy set of shoulders.. but of the four positions needing addressed (OL, DE, LB, S).. the OL and DE apparently looked ok to good.. Safety was serviceable.. and LB was iffy.
