It might just be me but I think schemes and “styles” of offense and defense gets way overblown, as does the perceived personnel that a team has or doesn’t have. Again might just be a lack of knowledge from a guy who’s watched a gazillion football games. Never coached a second so…

This comment is mainly in response to other folks just like me who really don’t know what they are talking about and have predetermined that we can’t do certain types of offense or defense based on a perception of our roster.

It doesn't matter as much now with the transfer portal, but it absolutely matters. If you have a roster to run a 1 gap defensive scheme, it's going to take time to get the right guys to run a 2 gap scheme.

Likewise, if you have a zone blocking roster but switch to a man block scheme, it's going to take some time to get the right guys.

It's a different skill set -- especially in the trenches.

Hopefully they are both really good and have a good working relationship on the field if coming here. 6’1” QB is a little short. But do like a 6’4” WR.
QB led a game winning drive against Top 25 Ole Miss. Completed 11-14 passes for more than 200 yards and ran for 44.

Me too. I'm guessing no team was interested. We need a HUGE upgrade.

Aren’t we clear to not take a player back if they enter the portal?

Something has gotten 3 defense players to withdraw from the portal.

Burkes and Gamble looked good the last few games.

Do we have a plan to portal for linebacker? Haynes looked good in the times he played. Farrar and Gooch as well.

Still unsure why we con
I would imagine so. You have 7 with 2 of them likely gone, (Sullivan & Arnholt). The other 5 seem talented but pretty unproven.

Per a lawsuit ruling today. JUCO transfers now get 4 years of eligibility honored.

Joey Aguilar and K Rob can feasibly return.

I don’t think that’s what the injunction means. Pavia is the sole plaintiff so the ruling is for him.It coyld open the door for others, but they would have to file suit on their own or be attached to a class action claim.
