Should interesting to hear how many freshman are playing football @ MC
Thats pretty much where they had Thomas last year....lot of his touches were on reverses and screen/slant passes. I don't think you'll see him in the actual RB position unless Kennedy goes down...I think Thomas damn near lead the team in TD's last year from that spot so we he should be OK....Dean who was the other RB with Kennedy? I saw some pictures on line, was it Moriarty?Dean said he was very impressed with the OLine and how the QB peformed (Trudeau?) Said they kept Thomas as more of a skatback/receiver. Said Kennedy looked great. As for the D - said DL is solid and his only concern is how the LBs perform. Overall I think he said 7-2 worse case.
Since I thnk Dean might not be getting up til Noon - yes Moriarty is back - also there is another kid who was a Soph last yearThats pretty much where they had Thomas last year....lot of his touches were on reverses and screen/slant passes.

Wonder if Dean agrees with MC at #2.

I left Saturday with a substantially better feeling then last year. O line is much bigger and faster. Brown at 300, Myrick and Cooper at 295. Seems like Trudeau will be the starter. Thomas didn’t take a snap. They kind of use Thomas like Hester. However he will be on the field more in different spots. Someone you definitely have to account for. Kennedy in the backfield along with Moriarty who looked 100% to me. Obviously he had that terrible injury before. Watch out for soph Kyle Davis. Shades of Greg Owens out there. He is a truck.
They rotated 3 guys at TE . Milavickas, soph Jaleel Billingsley mainly and Rashad Wilikins a little . They tried Cousert and McClurge both ways a little. Cousert caught a long TD pass in the post.
Defensively looked like great team speed. Obviously hurts to lose Griffith and another projected starter. Dline they moved Jordan Acklin over there from RT and have a 295 lbs soph at NG. Outlar back on D line also and McGhee rotates in along with Obah and Willis. Both lines deeper material. LB’s Swisshelm was on crutches so did not see him in action. They have a soph up- Valenti- and of course Taylor out there. Stll experimenting with guys out there like Kubik, Darrion Rogers. Secondary both safeties back . Corners Filer who was out there on 3rd downs last year and Senior David Rogers 6’2” takes over for Griffith. Looked solid. Soph Eddie McGee takes over the Filer nickel corner spot.
Won’t know much until week 3 vs LA but I am very encouraged on what I saw.
I went to both the sophomore and varsity games this weekend. The Lyons kid is the best true QB on the squad, and it's not even close.
Taft...won really big, not sure of the final. Don't expect too much from the Soph team though, they have a ton up on varisty.....Freshman team looks very strong...Huge line, great backs, excellent QBWho did the sophs play? Win? Final score?
Taft really won big? MC Sophs play palatine this Friday night.Taft...won really big, not sure of the final. Don't expect too much from the Soph team though, they have a ton up on varisty.....Freshman team looks very strong...Huge line, great backs, excellent QB
I agree with that. Definitely better to get reps with Sophs than sit on a varsity bench.
It will all come down to how Trudeau performs. Obviously they blew out Taft , but a little worried about what happens starting in 2 weeks. I saw the same thing you did with Trudeau, long slow throwing motion. That concerns me. He also didn't seem real fluid when running the option to me, but it's game 1 and I'm always a worry wart.
Considering Dutton didn't even start and split reps with the previous starter from that class, and considering he's been in the system just a few weeks after running a shotgun spread the last couple years, I was surprised how smooth and confident he looked in limited action Saturday.
Interested to hear about the Frosh QB too
