There’s definitely some holes to fill upfront from last year after watching practice, I felt better about the run game than I had previously thought it would be. That being said, we definitely do not have the depth upfront we have had in the last few years and we have had some guys with some lingering camp/scrimmage injuries. I know Wallace has been out for a bit and I’ve seen two key pieces of the OL in boots and braces. I wasn’t at the Wburg scrimmage but those guys being out could make a big difference. It still worries me that we were unable to score a varsity TD though. But then again, Mike has really changed his philosophy over the last few seasons on how he approaches these scrimmages. I know there were a ton of reps given out vs Belfry. But I would assume that in the Wburg scrimmage the 1s saw most of the reps, especially in the first quarter. JV was 7-7 with a final of 28-7. So it seems the defense didnt just get blown away, from a score like that it seems they were on the field a lot. Which means the most work to be done is on the other side of the ball.

I think everyone on the “hype train” has cooled their breaks before this season even started, as we all knew full well we lost a lot upfront and even with what skill returns, the schedule doesn’t do us any favors in terms of getting wins. Idc what the regular season looks like, as long as we are healthy and improve at the end of 10 games, we will be ready come play off time to make a run.
