Yup. His injury and Benson's have been critical. Benson is special player who can create when nothing is there to move the sticks. Then add Kenny Cooper, Will Bryan, A. Marshall, and Taquon's hurt toe. Just have some adversity we have to overcome

Somewhat born into it. Father was a stands physician. Two free tickets to every home game. Saw Dorsett run all over us in a night game vs Pitt. Same game my Dad got a call on a fan who had a moth fly in his ear (was sitting way up by the lights) and was in excruciating pain. There was a Coke...

Pretty much agree with your post 100%. To add: The two bogus 15-yd penalties in the first quarter still make me INCENSED. The runner's feet were in bounds on both plays when the hits were made. You can claim to know "they would have scored anyway" but that's BS....there could have been fumbles...

I was one of the doomer and gloomers. Each week I expected a loss as we beat good team after good team. Option teams are historically stronger in the second half of seasons as the precison of the offense often reaches new heights. This year we are so deep on O....despite injuries at QB and BB...

I take solace in seeing how in past years the team really improved as the season went on (2008, 2014, 2016). I see the capacity for the team to make such improvements.

I know what you mean, but the phrasing would be more accurate to say Mason beat out Howard. Mason was hurt last year and never got to show what he could do. And just because Jerry was #3 doesn't mean he isn't good. I think the coaches are still quite high on Jerry. It's just when you have three...

ETA: Love Olivers running....wiry strong with a nice burst. Dude weighs like 180 but plays bigger. Looking forward to seeing him develop as a passer.

Maybe I am remembering incorrectly, but I think the OP has a history of choosing a back up and relentlessly pounding the table on why he should play more. Not a bad thing necessarily as it generates discussion. Just for me I tend to not expect lots of rational support for said position. And we...

Hate for Kirvonte and selfishly for us too. He really seems like a hard worker and a great young man. I'd love to see him come back stronger than ever next year. This is why a kid chooses to play at GT. He will have a great degree and great contacts for life. Wishing the Benson family the very...

Agree tough to predict. In our favor I think our running game matches up favorably vs their D. On the other hand their offense until we prove we have a pass rush matches up favorably vs our defense. Also historically we haven't played well when we play a deep southern Florida team at home. I...

10. ETA: Omari Jarrett looks bigger to me this year. Maybe it's the new number (#2). I liked his HS film and I am going to go ahead and predict he's going to break out a little this year. I'd like to see Xavier Gantt haul in some WTF 3rd down passes along the sideline like Zenon did in 2014...I...

1. Would like to see Taquon protect himself more at the end of runs when the yardage is non-essential. Get down, or get out of bounds......28 vs 27 yards doesn't matter. LJ is out and Oliver has a slight build...not sure how he would hold up long term. 2. Graham looks thick for a tr-fr. We may...

I've wondered a little bit about this (i.e. CNW's D vs HUNH offenses). The new D emphasizes rallying to the ball and rotating guys to stay fresh. Up tempo makes it tough to substitute, plus guys have to run back the ball in a hurry to get set up. With a noon game in the South Florida heat I can...

Defensively in game 1 I saw some positives but also some negatives: Against inferior competition I didn't see our DL generate much of a pass rush/win 1-on-1 battles. Also the Alcorn St QBs threw high to open receivers 5-6 times. The plays were there but they couldn't make them. On the positive...

Thought on his HS film he looked a little stiff moving laterally for a defensive lineman, but very strong going north south.

I hope it means we were heating up the kitchen a little. Re: Malachi Carter: I thought it was cool he chose GT (in part) because he realized it would make him a complete receiver to be a tenacious blocker. That's what's going to get him on the field....both at GT and in the NFL. Calvin and...

After spending some time with it and comparing to past uniforms I've decided I really do like the new uniforms. The designers did a good job restraining themselves from overstating what's new and different. Rather, the new things are simply accents. The overall gestault is clean and classic...

At least on our team the 2-deep stood out pretty readily in individual and position group drills. The guys who looked good in drills, took coaching, made plays, whipped their man, were physically ready, etc. would go with the two deep when practice divided into offensive and defensive sessions...

Here are the top 5 challenges GT is facing for the season IMO: 1. As the article explains, an absolutely brutal schedule. The ACC has gotten much, much better, plus out of conference is tough. 2. Talent gap (due to limited majors, the classes kids have to take in HS to get in, and very high...

Can only speak from personal experience: My D-III team ran the wing-T and was a pretty decent offensive team. First team D almost never played against it. Maybe 1 scrimmage in camp, and we shut its arse down because we were a top 20 defense. Shut most other teams down as well. Always practiced...
