Hahahahaha I laughed

 

Present!

So obviously we're expecting a monster year out of Herbert, should be in the running for Heisman unless something goes terribly wrong. I would say aside from him our biggest strength is O-Line, we're returning a unit with more combined starts than any other line in the nation by a significant margin (four 5th year seniors and Penei Sewell), we're huge and experienced up front. Running game should be pretty strong, CJ Verdell was a thousand yard rusher as a true freshman and there's a lot of talent coming in behind him. I'd say our biggest question mark by far is the receiving corps, losing Dillon Mitchell was a big blow but I'm excited to see true frosh Mycah Pittman and that Penn State transfer Juwan Johnson who's the kind of big physical target we don't normally get. And if Jaylon Redd can work out some of the issues he had with drops last year it could turn in to a solid unit.

Defensively I think things hinge on the growth of our secondary. Thomas Graham and Deommodore Lenoir are super talented dudes that came in and played as freshman and had a pretty rough go at the cornerback spots but were much improved last season and hopefully can take another leap as juniors. Jevon Holland and Brady Breeze are solid if unspectacular safeties, but I would say our strength on D is the front 7. Troy Dye is a monster ILB and we'll have La'Mar Winston and #1 overall recruit Kayvon Thibodeaux alternate at OLB/DE which is gonna be exciting to watch.

Overall a really talented team that should have playoff hopes if some things go our way.
Very stoked to head to Texas next week and watch this game

 

also: love these

 

WVU on upset alert playing JMU week one. Looking forward to attending my first NDSU game when they play Delaware 09/14. I'm driving up for the game.

 

Those Nebraska alternates are pretty awesome.

Not so sure about these gray Georgia Tech ones despite the reasoning for them..look too much like the blue alts.

 

Next week y'all

 

No Pittman for 8 weeks

Auburn’s had their fair share of receiver injuries too, so we might see a good bit of sloppy receiver play in that one.

 

The malzahn special

 

Throwin’ screens and throwin’ deep

 

20 yards over a receivers head to the fs, coming right up lol

 

Juwan Johnson better be good

 

Who really knows.

 

I like it.

 

Excited for football this weekend. It may be a meh double header of Flordia-Miami and Arizona-Hawaii, but its football at least. It'll probably be underwhelming but who cares.

 

Very down to face a true frosh in his first game at a neutral(ish) site, could see our secondary making some big plays

 

Either QB was going to be getting their first real taste of CFB. This QB led his high school team to back to back championships, and has been a starter since the 9th grade. Similar system to Gus’. His dad was a QB at Auburn in the 90s, and has coached Bo through high school.

He’s been training to be Auburn’s starting QB since he was born, but he’ll inevitably make freshman mistakes.

 

Johnson might not play either, apparently
