Notes:
QB Play - Mallett sat out while recovering from ankle surgury. Wilson played ok, but did not put on much of a show. Very impressed with redshirt freshman Brandon Mitchell and true freshman Jacoby Walker. Very confident players with speed and excellent throwing ability.
RB Play - Dennis Johnson was consistent and looked like Dennis Johnson from last year. Wingo is a beast with tremendous speed. Knile Davis (broken collar bone) was fast and strong. Broderick is big, strong and looked faster than last year.
TE - DJ Williams was solid as usual. Looks a little slimmer in the waist with a little more speed.
WR - Solid all the way around. Not much changed from last year. Lance Ray had a great catch. Childs, Adams, and Wright are deadly.
OL - Line looked pretty solid, but gave up some plays. Maybe this means our DL has improved.
DL - They looked pretty good getting into the backfield and slowing the run. DEs look super solid and don't see any drop off with Shepherd gone.
LB - Did not see much impressive here. Still a weakness. Not good at filling gaps or making plays on crossing passes.
CB - Much better, but out of position a few times.
S - These guys seemed to be out of position several times. They gave up some big plays and did not impress much on bringing hard hits. I miss having a headhunter back there.
Bottom Line:
We will be much better on both sides of the ball. Our offense will put up even more points next year on the ground and in the air. The new "shot" formation adds a new dimension with a lot of misdirection. Defense will be better, but they still need work on assignments, tackling, and other fundamentals. Defense does still have a nose for creating turnovers. We could have a very special season if the ball bounces right for us in the big games.
