Defensive Line is absolutely going to get tested hardcore: Starting Line: Dall - 11 games 339 snaps - 3 solo tackles 6 assisted 1 sack 1 pass deflection Hull - 5 games 2 tackles Laventure - 16 solo tackles 25 assisted 4.5 sacks D2 good numbers but listed at 6'1 270... very athletic hopefully can holdup with the big boys Durham 3 games @ Arizona 18 snaps played 0 stats Second String Frazier twins - 2 games combined 0 stats Mixon - 2024 did not play, 2023 Did not play Murphy - 8 games 5 tackles Madden - 4 games 1 tackle 3 assisted 1 sack K. Cheatom - 138 snaps - 6 solo tackles 3 assisted 1 sack They say the games are won in the trenches. I don't doubt these men can do it but be ready for some growing pains....

Biggest Game of the year for the Zips...

Biggest game of the year in my opinion. I think if we lose this game Zips may not gain any traction or confidence at all. Nebraska is really going to try and run the score up for the home opener and send a message to their fans then go on the road to UAB. Duquesne is not a sure win especially after three losses if that is what happens, then 2 of the next three games are Toledo and Miami. Could be 1-6 or 2-5 right of the gate. Akron beats Wyoming now maybe they have some confidence and come out of the first 7 games 4-3 losing to Nebraska, Toledo, and Miami..

Not to diminish his talents or abilities at all, but if you look at his Rivals timeline, several of these offers were made when he could commit. For example, Florida A&M and Pitt both offered him in 2023 along with 17 other schools. He was only a sophomore. So someone showed interest then everyone jumped on board and tried to get his loyalty.

ok thanks. was hoping to watch the scrimmages at least.

I know that camp starts tomorrow, and I believe the first day of full contact is Friday. Is this generally open to the public and are the scrimmages open to the public?

if my numbers are right there are approximately 100 players on Zips roster counting incoming freshman that are not listed currently on the roster. I only see two, Kavals and Sivon probably because they got their physicals. I'm guessing since they are below the 105 man limit Zips probably won't have anyone leave in the portal, may pick someone up from some Power4 schools that have to get down to the roster limit.

can someone much smarter than me explain how they foresee this affecting Zips team?

I'll save you the 39 minutes of misery of listening to the podcast. One picks 3 wins one picks 4 wins. Doom and gloom like A LOT of people on here. It's simple if you don't want to cheer the team on then. The team won more games last year and has improved. We have a lot of transfers and a good group of freshman coming in. Give them a chance before you start hating on them. I am pretty sure none of you applied for any of the coaching positions and none of you were offered any of the scholarship positions to get on the field and sacrifice your time and your body. Of course you all have answers from your couches and you all could do better, but how about trying something different and supporting them when nobody else is.
