But I'll sleep better at night knowing that Morris could step in if needed and not be a disaster. If he gets some more good PT against Akron and UConn, he should be a useful backup, if we really need him.

These young guys look like they have a ton of potential.  Love what I've seen out of Gedeon today, Taco made a play there, Henry was on top of the QB on the last play.... so much young talent

At least Shane didn't force it into traffic there... yeah, he shouldn't have taken that sack.  But you know, first game, true freshman, had mono most of his senior year.  Given all that, I love what he's shown today.  I think his upside is tremendous.

I believe my words were he looked just as good as good NOT that he should start over him. Given that Devin had some earlier troubles at which most of you were bitching about earlier i fail too see the big deal. Notice I also said I digress and let's see how well performs for a larger sample size. He has some kinks to work out but far a debuts he faired well enough.

Hey guys, long time Blue fan but new to the board here. Thought I would give my thoughts on the game thus far.

-Offense has some things that need to get cleaned up before next week. We can get away with some of the poor plays against CMU but we won't be able to aginst the Irish.

-Defense looked pretty good. Tough to tell when we have so much more talent. I like how they've been flying to the ball though.

-The oline was probably the area with the most concern coming into the game but they have played very well. The new guys on the line look to be loaded with potential.

-Derrick Green has been pretty impressive. He is quicker than I expected but I still think if he lost 5-10 lbs he could gain a half step and really turn into a monster. Plenty of time for improvement but overall I've been impressed.

-Shane Morris has also looked better than I expected. I know he was highly ranked through recruiting but I also know he had some issues. He has looked pretty good. A little antsy on some plays but the tools are there. 

 

Looking forward to a great year and seeing how our young guys continue to develop. The program is absolutely on the rise and seeing these young guys play well has been very impressive.
