His defensive hudl clips showed him lined up as stand up DE/OLB most times. But real steady medium-fast motor and a good wrap-up tackler. Seems to be a concern numbers wise at LB… BTW Picanco looked like a different player over last season too. Moved side-to-side really well. I think as he gains confidence he can dominate interior runs physically (similar to Ulbrich?). He just needs to make the correct reads and get in the right spot with consistency. He can do it. Can do.

If it included the number of plays that each player participated in, that would make a big difference. Whether teams want to disclose that info is another story.

I don’t know what Schlabach is smoking. In what universe would Hawaii be passed over by the Hawaii bowl and sent to the Arizona bowl

Different from last years forced passes. These were just a matter of having too much confidence (not necessarily over confidence) in your “rhythm”. Windows probably looked bigger from Cole’s perspective. Totally fixable. Last years forces seemed like there was some desperation to make something work. Way different from Saturday. Just a few more incompletions instead of interceptions.

And as for the fumbles those are fixable as well. Those runs were big plays already. Would have softened up the pass rush even more allowing for even more time to go deep. Holly’s fumble was a little more concerning than Furuta’s but both can fix with some adjusting. Furuta gives the offense more options with his pass blocking and power running. His gain was 17 yards when he fumbled. And Holly is a good between the tackles runner. He broke an arm tackle on his way to a 9 yard gain before being stripped. Could have done this all night (second half) long really. Would have scored on those drives for sure…Reed was different though. He really played with confidence which surprised me. Like a totally different player over last season. Such a different look for the offense as a whole (even blocking scheme wise) with him as back. More able to attack creases and lanes with him. He even pass blocked (very, very low) okay. He is not going to break the first tackle but may “bounce” off here and there with his running style. Perfect compliment with Corderio for a “quick twitch” RPO. Different look for the defense to consider with that tandem (Corderio is as quick as McKenzie). So much potential now (with all these skillsets) and just scratching the surface playbook wise (even had a quasi-“jet sweep”). Awesome.

Not sure but he didn’t play. Looked like Hune and Matthews took all the snaps at 3-tech
