Now let's start saying our prayers for good weather...and a decent showing against Wake.

Yes, they seem to be doing their part.  Now let's get a little luck.

Pads go on in one week.  I can't wait.  I plan on making the trip to Wake Forest and am very excited.  I hope the QB pans out, watching the interview with Joe Moe he did bring up a good point when he said the QB has not played in a relevant game for like four years so there is going to be some rust to get off.

 

He is obviously the key and it should be different knowing the team is his unlike the last two schools he was at.  The position coaches are all great at making sure the players are ready to go and have been together for a long time with the exception of Mack at defensive line but they brought in some monsters so if the defensive line can get some pressure it could be an exciting team.

 

I am really excited to see Aboor play and Williams (that man is huge at 6'6 340).  Aboor was getting playing time as true freshman at Ohio State, he is older now and I'm sure he has physically developed if he is hungry, the pedigree is there he can possibly come in and dominate at that end position....

Is Moorhead physically capable of saying anything that gives Zips fans hope?

I think he thrives on setting expectations low so no one gets their hopes up. 😅

I do think he was being cautiously optimistic if you watch the interview.  It was not being negative just factual.  The interviewer was asking about Poffenbarger and the Qb situation.  Joe Moe just said that he has looked good in the practices and the spring game and that he has been a leader but there has been some time since he has played in a game, and that he has clearly shown that he it is his team.

I don't think our QB room is getting talked about enough.  Poff, Broughton, and Beals are all dudes.

I'm curious what happens with Broughton this year.  He is so dynamic I wonder if they find somewhere on the field for him.  I am also curious about what they have in store for "The Johnson, Bullock" plays.  Broughton is no where near their size Roggow is tall and thin and I don't think they will use Beals in that way so I wonder if they go more wildcat or something for the short yardage situations?

I've gotta say. This was brilliant. We're all over social media. And I'm sure whoever wins isn't actually going to have a ton of say

Imagine they actually don’t tell the winner until they are at the game to get people to actually show up. I think this is great and it will help the ticket sales team hit some big goals but I really hope we can get some people out to watch
