No, your qb's had never played together until last fall. It's much easy to play against an O and players, after you've played them once. Also, easier to prepare after you've got tape of other teams shutting them down.
Griz o-line all return, has added some players, and is deep. They were good most of the time last year, and will be great next fall. Best since 2009, says Hauck. Running backs will be even better and deeper. Backers will be very good and deeper. Receivers will be better. Hopefully, our qb will be healthier, instead of being out and hurt out of the season since SS. Safeties appear to be good and fairly deep.
Griz have a new OC that many people are excited about. Griz have younger position coaches. Lots of good reports coming back on the new positioning of the assistants.
My criticism of Herder had nothing to do with his ranking of the Griz. I don't care where they are ranked. He's put multiple teams in ridiculously positions. He never played football and doesn't understand it.
Let's see your position group analysis of why you think the Cats deserve to be no. 3. I assume you won't or can't do that, because you also don't understand the game.
Well, deep is nice but you can only start 5. Hauck also said last year was his favorite and most talented team. I’m glad you’re excited about your new OC- that doesn’t make him a world beater. Why doesn’t Herder know Football exactly? Because the Gris aren’t top 5 to start the season?
If you must ask. Our entire O-line returns which was the best rushing attack in the nation. We made it to the semis last year and we return most of our impact players, our coaching staff is intact and I believe our OC will call another stellar game against the 3-3-5. He has a proven track record of playing teams a second or third time and having a better game plan. Secondary is thin, but it wasn’t spectacular last season. I don’t see how you can justify putting any team ahead of the Cats outside of SDSU and NDSU to start the season. Then we just have to sit back and watch. But let’s see these polls come out and you can knock every single one of them that has the cats highly ranked because ya know.. facts over feelings and all.
A lot of what you’re saying is an assumption. You’re assuming the RB’s will be better. You’re assuming the WR play will be better. I mean even I’m assuming the OL play will be better. The only difference is: even if it’s not. We’re gunna play at a conference championship level because that’s proven while the Gris will be trying hard for the top half of the BSC.
Lemme guess, you’re really into this new QB of yours. He’s the one isn’t he? QB1 last year seemed to be really hurt vs winning teams, but was a gamer vs NW state. I don’t think he was the solution last season.
