Met Justin Uahinui’s dad, a super nice guy who is the QB coach for Farrington’s JV team. You can see why Justin is such a good QB. Gained a lot of insight from him. The QBs look good, Cole is definitely the man.

Of course the highlight of the practice was when Stephen Tsai stopped by to say hi. In addition to QB and team talk, all Coach Uahinui and I could talk about was how awesome Stephen is, and how cool it is to chat with him.

GO WARRIORS!!!

Arizona Jr. RB JJ Taylor was 7th in the nation last year in rushing averaging almost 120 ypg.

Oregon St didn’t get any attention last year because of their dismal record, but quietly had a breakout star turned true-freshman all-american in RB Jermar Jefferson. Jermar was 9th in the nation in rushing behind a sub-par O-Line. (He was a 3 star prospect out of Redondo Beach, CA and offered by the Warriors)

Washington is powerhouse of a run team right now led by a veteran O-line returning 4 of 5 starters. Center Nick Harris is a serious pro prospect and LT Trey Adams will almost certainly be a first round pick in 2020.

With Gangi off to the CFL, Nevada will be relying on the run game heavily early in the season while Florida State transfer Malik Henry get’s his new system sea-legs.

Thank goodness Hawaii largely side-stepped Alex Mattisons reign of terror at Boise St. I wish him the best in Minnesota. With all the question marks at QB and RB this year for Boise, I really believe this could be our upset of the year. Though LT Ezra Cleveland will be a force to deal with.

Air Force runs the ball 4x more than they pass. This game will be trench warfare from start to finish. The play of our DL/LB units will decide this game.

I agree with you Burro that our DBs are an experienced group and will likely be a standout unit this year, 6 of the first 7 games will not be seeing a ton of Dime defense. It’ll be super interesting to see how Corey and Nick decide to use tweeners like Okeke and Hicks. I’m also pretty excited to see Killins get on the field this fall. I think Victor is seen as the gem of the class, but Travon was just as much of a steal. UCF was after him and looked poised to sign, even against offers from Big-10 and Big-12 programs, but I think they rescinded his offer after picking up 4 other 3-star DBs in the class and having all four DB starters returning.

Sorry for the novel, but getting pretty hyped for the year! #PrideRock
