Hi everyone, Huskie fan here. I, and a few others, think this game is going to be closer than many think. Yes, we do have a good OL along with Wolfe and Harris. One of our OL, Doug Free, has had some talk about being a possible first round draft pick. I hope it is not after this season since he is a junior! Wolfe has a minor shoulder problem, but I think it is from last year. He is expected to play this Saturday. There is a lot of talk about our QB Phil Horvath, and whether or not he is doing a good job. Some are hoping to see more of our backup, Britt Davis. He is a mobile type of QB and he will probably get the starting job in a few years. But right now, it is Phil and from what I have seen, I have no complaints.
The complaints I do have come from the defense. Taking away the performance against 1AA Tennessee Tech, the defense leaves much to be desired. Against Michigan and Northwestern, there was no pressure on their QB and so far no sacks, nor did we stop them on almost all of their drives. Not to mention the fact that we seemed to not know how to tackle. Our best LB is gone for the year, thus making our young D even younger. Perhaps in a year or two this D will get better, but I don't know. It will be interesting to see how we do in conference play. Hopefully they are quick learners, or we will be in trouble.
I'm not sure how many Huskie fans will be there. I hope it is a sell-out for your home opener. With the way Miami and Bowling Green have performed, you may win the East.
Here's to an exciting, injury-free game this Saturday!!
