[QUOTE="Huskie73, post: 816093, member: 5718"] OL is indeed back. Started to gel late last year once staff got the mix right. Hope they'll take the next step on 9/4. 1. Field goad unit is solid. Kicker hasn't got a ton of opportunities but hasn't missed an extra point in his 2 years and went 7 of 9 in FGs last year. Has a pretty big leg. Staff has full confidence in him up to 50+ yards. 2. Our offense was not good last year in any zone. There's a reason we went to the portal to upgrade TE, RB & QB. Every position group is expected to take a step forward this year. 3. Special teams was a bright spot. Best punter in school history (Ray Guy Award watchlist) and consistent FG kicker. Returner earned freshman All-American honors but that could have a lot to do with him getting so many opportunities due to less than impressive defense. Doesn't everyone have that fast guy?? 4. Recruits come from different areas based on position. OL is pretty much always big *** farm boys from Wisconsin and Iowa. They can't all go to the Big Ten and we put guys in the league regularly. We used to rely on the south i.e. Florida, GA, TX for speed like everyone else, but tend to do less of that with this staff. We've got good pipelines set up in New Jersey (coaches hometown), MI, IN, MO and of course the great majority out of the Chicagoland area. Thanks for asking. [/QUOTE]
