I went to the scrimmage on Saturday and was encouraged by what I saw. Coney looked really good a quarterback during his series. He did throw one pick but it was a great, diving catch by a new JUCO LB. He hit Devin Borders in stride on 2 long passes down the sideline. One went for a touchdown and the other moved the ball into the red zone where he finished off the drive with a nice touchdown pass on an out pattern. That's one thing that was lacking last season--if you give Borders a chance to catch the long ball he's going to make 3-4 big plays a game. At times last year he was overthrown so badly that he didn't have a chance to make a play. The defense looked much quicker as well. They split up the load amongst several running backs but Mobley, Jude, Watkins and Fugate all looked good. Should be an interesting season.
