Is this new for Coach Miles? I know in the fall, he doesn't release stats from scrimmages, but I don't remember if gave them out in the spring.
I've got a really good feeling about this team. Except for being thin at linebacker, and having to shore up the db's. I think we can be near top 5 in defense next year. Offensively, the line will be even better, running back and receivers are solid, if for any reason, RP self destructs, there's worse situations for an inexperienced QB to be stepping into. I think everyone's expecting us to take a step back. While the schedule's a bear (damn even numbered year) we may surprise some people.
I feel the same way, if this team can find it's identity quickly and start to gel they can be special. I have a feeling that they already understand this and are going to be looking to prove themselves, especially with the pundants saying we will not be as good.
I know it was a fluke last year (or atleast I hope so, App St. beating UoM) but App St. being our first game is a hard one to play unless we learn to "gel" as a team during practices. App St. will come to play and try and knock off another Div. I powerhouse. I think we'll handle them pretty easily... but if we make a lot of early mistakes, this game could kill us before the season really gets under way.
Any punt and kick stats to speak of? I would love to see those areas as fully impressive as last years. Having Hester being one of the first down field on special teams certainly adds to his Tiger Legacy as well setting the bar for others to follow.
I don't pay a lot of attention to stats from scrimmages. They are fun to look at, but without seeing the action it's impossible to draw anything significant from them. BUT, these I found interesting when I see the completion numbers for the QB's and the high number of sacks as well.
