I agree the coaches need to find the best fits on offense that help the Qb. They failed in this department last year with Fitz passing and Hill blocking. Wherever Williams was in on passing downs it was a totally different comfort level and better completions for Fitz.Quote:

Exactly, K-State is starting a major rebuild and the other 3 non-conf games are wins. Ark, OM are should wins and UK lost a lot a should be a win again also. Probably our floor is 6 and likely ceiling is 7 unless the defensive tackles and passing game improve considerably. Maybe the narrowest range in the country for a Power 5 team.Quote:

Some quick thoughts:
Whop and Austin Williams looked like they are ready to make a jump. Guidry is basically what is he which is sloppy. At TE Spivey played pretty well and Farrod couldn't catch anything today.
KT seemed to settle in and make some good throws. Mayden definitely is more fluid but we didn't exactly let him loose and the pick 6 was obviously bad. Good to see Shrader play, but I don't see any scenario where he doesn't redshirt.
Kylin will be a beast next year. Gibson isn't much of a drop off and the O-line looks the part.
Marquiss Spencer is a grown ass man. D-line will improve as the season goes on so I'm glad our schedule is soft to start.
We have a quite few NFL players in the back 7 on D.
We have too many punters for none of them to step up and at least boot it closer to 45 yards per kick.
The 7v7 portion I felt was pretty pointless, but I'm not getting paid 2 million to make that decision.
Cumbest will help the passing game, but we should have been able to pick up a good WR transfer. Since we couldn't, we are more limited on offense and I think the ceiling is 6 with Kentucky, Arkansas and OM as possible conference wins, but think we could drop one of those and go 2-6 6-6.
Well the rumor this morning about the spring game being scrapped or moved to a standard practice got me. Also the rumor the baseball game got moved to tomorrow, got me
We have no WRs, QB play is marginal at best. Same as last year. OL will be ok, same as last year. DL will see a big drop off, but will be ok if we stay healthy and down wear down in games. Not many concerns at LB and DB.
I’m still not a fan of this offense, but Joe has this year to convince me otherwise by showing some sort of improvement somewhere. Even if it’s just better QB reads and WR routes. I’m going 7-5 this year. But we’ll have to earn it. TN game could get us to 8 wins. KY loss to 6 wins. Just need to see something from this offense.
Does Guidry get a catch or just 2 drops on 5 targets.
In spring games, in look more toward trenches and defense.
1- Our defense will be top 10 again, and the following season will be a major concern.
2- our Dl is not great, but it's is deep. I see that spot being the surprise of the defense. If we do add a grad transfer, it will just add to it.
3- OL... cross vs rivers..... simply put... Cross will leave early. He is ready now. Needs more weight, but could play.
4- I can not imagine there being no improvement on offense, specifically passing. We have 2 guys that should be able to handle that offense and 1 who will be a beast within 1 year. The transition Shrader made in a short period of time is leaps above what we have seen... ever. If he was the man, he would be ready and this team would not be worse off. Having said that, he will red shirt because he wont make us better. If either of our QBs can reach 60% we will challenge everyone.
OM, ARK, and UK suck ass. We will win all of our OOC and win those three plus the TN game and finish at least 8-4. It’s not that hard. We have more talent then those 3 teams you named. Only games which are sure losses imo are Alabama, LSU, and A&M. I really don’t understand this negative taint you guys seem to have with Moorhead and this team.Quote:
