  1. Hard not to feel like he twisted the knife a bit but I’m sure there were internal frustrations and tried his best to change them. Still, very unfortunate timing on it.

    Now that we likely only have one real target from the portal in Hill at DB..this feels pretty devastating to the offense. We need 1-2 WRs & a RB so badly. There is a distinct lack of playmakers. That backfield is barren. Devoid of talent. They should’ve let Johnson & IGC go. Not sure what the likelihood of getting Washington back is. But they really need some dudes to help out. I just don’t get why we are bringing in the TE volume in the 2024 class either. 

    Fwiw I gave you a +1 because I do have some concerns and I like your general point. But there is still a lot of time and there’s going to be a big exodus of transfers after bowl games and then again in the spring with grad transfers so I wouldn’t be surprised if some of that is the plan. 
     

    Also, I think the numbers are really tight right now and they’re planning for some additions (and subtractions) after Raiola announces he’s coming here.

  3. The first loss that’s a bit of a bummer. Thought he played pretty well when he got PT this year - but I also felt that other starting corner spot could have been his all year and it’s probably not a great sign that he never took it. By all accounts though, he brought good energy to practice and I am rooting for him to land at a good spot.

    A) Phil Loadholt is the 2nd largest human being I have ever stood directly next to.  The 1st is Andre the Giant.

     

    B) So Deion's new assistant coaching plan is just to hire guys from the NFL with no coaching experience?

    Fwiw I definitely agree with you about Sapp. That looks like a disaster hire from the outside (have they made it official?). 

     

    But it looks like Loadholt was interning under Bedenbaugh last year. I actually think that’s a really savvy hire given their resources - they weren’t likely to poach a great P5 coach so the next best thing is an up and comer who got some seasoning under one of the best OLine coaches out there.

     

    We are still beating them in Lincoln next year though.

    Did anyone get called for targeting? Felt like over the years they'ld get a few guys and at least have reviews every game. So if they didn't have anyone miss a half for targeting thats an improvement 

    Ty Robinson got one in the Colorado game and had to miss a half against Northern Illinois. I think that was the only one. Although we probably should have been called for one against Iowa lol. But still like you said, a very noticeable improvement.

     

    Edit- I’m dumb, he got one in the Minnesota game and had to miss a half against Colorado.

  6. The Illinois game had a lot of pressure on it. If we lose that game, we go into the bye 2-4 with an 0-4 record against P5 opponents. Would have been hard to have any positive outlook on the rest of the season if we lose that one on the road.

     

    Instead, we gutted out a win that never really felt that close thanks to our defense. It gave us a nice spark that lasted through October. Might have been my favorite win of the last couple years.
