Most times, Goliath slays David. 1 week of practice, tons of our stars opted out or injured, while none of WF’s did, including Heisman candidate, and 16 point underdogs to begin with
And yet, we played hard.
We got valuable reps. Many, many young players saw the field today
But this is type of loss that can motivate a team ALL SPRING. They got a taste of a NYE game — now time to earn it.
Young Defense will get better and better. You could see the flashes. Hell, at times, both Melton and Longerbeam looked like high NFL draft picks. Everyone’s young and mistakes were made against an NFL QB, but there’s some serious talent.
Wimsatt has wheels, and Gleeson should lean into that the way Louisville did with Lamar Jackson. His decision-making and accuracy will improve with a Spring under his belt. But it’s GW’s team now
Julius Turner and Drew Singleton both upgraded their draft stock. NFL scouts saw them play well, while not taking the easy route of opting out
Langan is going to be a great TE next year. 57 yards on 6 receptions in a position he’s still learning. With a spring dedicated to it, he could really shine and become a safety valve for a soph GW
New Defense and Special Teams Coordinators should help, as both are not being retained. Sloppy at times in both today.
Both Lines played pretty well. We had pressure on their 10-win offense many times today. Those near safeties in their end zone were exciting and Hartman was on the run a lot. On flip side, our oline largely gave the musical chair QBs time to throw. With influx of recruits on both lines, and so many players being young — good place to build from today
Score sucked, but I’m glad we did the game. We were super underdogs to begin with, but got valuable reps and maybe most importantly, this team got a taste of something bigger. Getting smashed in the mouth may be the thing this team needs to kick it into another gear in the offseason.
Happy New Year everyone. Here’s to 2022 season. Go RU!
