All great points but from what I saw most of the season was a poor pass rush. I was at the Colorado game and we let Hawkins pick us apart because he made a campfire and had all day to throw. I really hope we fill the Sims departure well and we add some speed all around.Quote:

Maybe Bo Williams should try out at safety...........if it doesn't work out for him at QB, of course. :spinny:Quote:

4. Keithen English
5. Nealy, Gaines or Dorleant (or any combination thereof)
...assuming that Dorleant is still visiting, of course, since I see that one of Maryland's other CB commits will be making a visit to Iowa City this weekend.
The latter trio would be a great start on Wally's defense for the future--along with some of the guys already committed. :cool:
remedial recruiting question part 2: For an early entry HS kid like Jevohn Miller, does he sign today or in Feb?Quote:

It makes protecting the QB easy. You find the guy that can pull another blocker to go along with Rump, and you make it easier for Maggit, Neal, and Lattimer, plus the CB Blitz would be more effective when the line is focusing on the inside pinch and the DEs have more space. It also allows Knott and Klein to use their vision on the slide to cover the Blitz man's receiver and they get a few more picks. The last point is the interior talent pool just seems to be a little bigger on the JuCo level. There are some great DEs out of our reach but there are more really good Interior guys within our reach.
He'll "sign" in February--but it's a moot point, since he'll already be enrolled.Quote:
