Not bad, but I think I prefer him on defense more than offense.

I think we got a good one here. Strong arm, nice touch on his passes, athletic and sees the field well finding the open receiver. Based on what I see so far, I would say he is potentially one of the best QB's we've landed in a long time. On a side note, he also has great receivers. Lol

That brings me to another point. Am I the only one that thinks Milwee needs to go?

I understand Woodson has a bad shoulder and that affects our team dramatically, but how can there be such a drop in talent/performance when Chapman comes in? He was originally a Pitt recruit. How is this possible?

I'm ready for the basketball season to start. I don't think I can watch another Zips football game this season.

Strong runner. I like it! I can't wait to see him and Bridges from Ellet on the Zips over the next several seasons.

I feel we'd definitely have a good chance at beating some of the teams listed ahead of us including Chattanooga, UT Arlington and Long Beach State. Would love to get some of them on a future OOC schedule.

All I know is, I can't take this defense much longer. I realize we lost some great players to graduation and injury, but this is just awful and painful to watch.

Yeah, bad timing on all the visits. Wish it would have been during the Miami game.

One thing that stood out was that he hopes for a new or upgraded arena...not so much for him, but for the next coach. Struck me as a bit odd.

I heard that too. He also said that Jatavis was his key to the game for the Chargers.

The kid can certainly stop and cut on a dime.

As I mentioned earlier in the season. If he keeps progressing, he will be our next "Jatavis"...or even better possibly.

I haven't had a chance to read all the comments yet and I don't know if anyone said this yet, so I apologize if so. The one thing I can see with this team that shows we are a much better program now than in the past is this: Playing without our starting QB and starting RB and still winning would have never happened in the past. I see a lot of promise with our program.

It will be very interesting to see him playing as a Zip! Can't wait!

I went to the Ellet vs Field game back on September 9th. Bridges is the real deal at RB. I believe he had 324 yards and 4 or 5 TD's in that game. He had back to back 57 yard and 87 yard TD runs. I know Ellet scored something like 83 points last Friday, not sure how many yards he had in that game, but a lot I'm sure.

My observations from the game. Jamal Marcus could not be blocked. VMI's huge right tackle couldn't stop Marcus at all. He was in the backfield at will...and he isn't even 100%. Gilbert is going to be a real play maker for us. He was all over the place and showed similar speed to Jatavis with his ability to get into the backfield and run down the ball carrier. Our team defense looked worse than it really is. We weren't showing anything for Wisconsin to see. Our receivers could score almost at will on VMI. I felt that during most of the second and third quarters we were merely working on different offensive schemes and plays which lead to the miscues and many 3 and outs. If you noticed in the latter part of the 1st quarter into the beginning of the 2nd quarter we scored three quick TD's in a row. The same thing happened again in the 4th quarter. Warren Ball is the real deal. We just need to sustain blocks long enough for him to get through the hole. We need work in 3 phases of our Special Teams. Our return game was below average at best, our kickoff coverage was bad and our kicking game was terrible...at least early on.

I agree. I feel like this would be a wasted scholarship, but I hope I'm wrong.

Looks good at stuffing the run. Seems to read plays well and has decent speed also.

That's exactly what I was thinking!

I really like what I see on Glover. I think with a couple years of coaching by Amato, this kid could be great! Also, aside from his big hitting capability, he actually knows how to wrap and tackle.

I'm hoping 8-5 counting a Bowl win. So even with that I guess I'm under. VMI - W Wisconsin - L Marshall - W App St. - L Kent - W Miami - W WMU - L BSU - W Buffalo - W Toledo - L BG - L Ohio - W

My order of preference on who I hope we can land is King, Corner, Bridges and Vantrease.

Looks like he has pretty good hands.

He's good at finding the creases and running hard through them and he doesn't seem to go down easily. I like what I see.
