Not being ugly, goes to show just how important a leader is to any football team. AM proved that over and over, still live in disbelief that AM continues to play the game. AM, smart and a tough man, above all he not only played college football at another level, my opinion he became the head coach in his junior year. Reflecting back, AM did not have a lot of talent on the offensive line, that is where his "preparation" paid off. Little things like taking his summers and time off going to study with coaches that improved his game.
Totally agree with Coach Smart about leadership. Hoping to see Tracy Rocker get a bit more out of his defensive front. Appeared to me that Thompson began to show leadership after the first half against Nicholls State.
Missouri, big game. Me thinks . . . .
ogredawg, really disappointed thus far with #55 on the offensive line. Thought he was going to be a very good offensive lineman, maybe he will show some improvement . . . . soon.
Not just #55 Buc.....disappointed in the O line as a whole. Taking a while for the Pittman "magic" to take hold. Don't really see them being a unit this year unless it happens at the very end. If they can't push Nicholls around I don't see them pushing anyone else around.
Hope they get their act together but in the 2 games so far they just don't have the "it" factor when it comes as working as a unit.
Catalina is finding out that this is a whole different world than being at Rhode Island.
