We've obviously got some holes. When we made the move to the 3-4 defense 2 years ago with an eye on getting all those "tweener" LB/DE types we seemed to be able to load up on into the action, little did we know we wouldnt have enough LBs to fill the starting 4, let alone fill a 2 deep two short seasons later.
We seem to have some great options at safety, I hope Gray gets a look at LB. He's got a perfect frame, speed, and hits like a ton of bricks. At 6'3 he isnt likely to have any problems covering a TE either.

Re: Realistic goals for first season in Sun Belt
Sorry for the slow reply, but yeah....QB play wasn't steller, but that was our #3 & #4 QB's wasn't it? #1&2 were injured, and we have a potential stud freshman coming in (Lamb). I think we have more depth than most of our peers in FCS and even in G5 FBS.bcoach wrote:If we have depth at QB they must have been on vacation during the spring practice in Charlotte and the spring game in Boone.Yosef84 wrote:I think we have more depth than most people think, but with injuries and other issues, we haven't been able to develop it too much. I would love to see Lamb's kid step up and become the man!Yosef wrote:Bobby Lambs kid is supposed to be the real deal. We will find out soon enough.Yosef84 wrote:Never know how it will play out but I believe we have the potential to do much better than .500. New QB is the biggest concern for me but in terms of competition, I think we can play with most. It is actually good to have some games out there that aren't necessarily "should wins" for a change.bh2oson wrote:I would think anything close to .500 would be a success. Depends on the schedule but I don't believe it will be as easy as some think.

Yes it was 3 and 4 and that is a good point but with our offense we are always going to have QB injuries so I hope a number 3 steps up. Maybe Lamb will be the guy.

What's year two look like?

Anywhere from 12-1 to no worse than 9-4. I'll give a more specific prediction in a few more months.proasu89 wrote:Winner Winner!WataugaMan wrote:I agree for the most part, however, I believe we should take UL-M. Thus, I'd say 6-2 in Conference. Overall 7-4 to 8-3.

Re: Realistic goals for first season in Sun Belt
App is a FB school and this is a FB thread obviously, but I am proud of the fact that at this moment in time we are leading in the Bubas Cup points. Some sports were a bit weak but overall I am impressed, and even withoug MSOC would would still be up a few points.
This is my very generic signature added to each post.
