Nice to see UA keep not only talented...but smart kids home! Is our school a line factory or what? (not NFL caliber for all those non-fans)

 

Good job on the scoop Statefan!!!

[statefan]

It wasn't a scoop; I read it in the newspaper.

YOu wonder how good they can be this year after losing both takles, the starting backfield and possibly the QB.

[UAalum72]

We should be at least OK in the backfield. Gudmunsen's a Junior, so it's tackle LaRoche and guard Swicicki plus a tight end we lose in the line. We've got a lot of big linemen coming up; QB will be the worry for next year, not that it was an all-leaague position for us last year.

[Dane96]

We will be more than fine in the backfield. The guys we got are as big, but faster than Jones. They may end up to be as talented if not better by the time they are done.

 

QB....we need one bad...ours suck. The line....remember...KImball is stepping in to replace LaRoche....TE...we will be fine...we always have good TE's.

And it would be nice to find a consistent place-kicker, would have made a difference in three or four of our losses in the past couple of years.

Is it official, is Sciarra not coming back? At least he has game experience. Believe it or not, if he could eliminate turnovers he actually became a DECENT(not good) QB. He was beginning to complete some long balls ie Wagner, Monmouth.

 

As far as the other kid(can't remember his name), I do not think much. They may need to move one of the better athletes in the program to QB in the spring or get one from a JUCO.

[Dane96]

I would have to think that Fordie has something up his sleeve for the QB position. Forget the OOC, without better play from the QB position this year, expect 8 in the box all year....which could proove to be ugly for us. Delgado is terrible! JUCO is the way to go on this.

[Ruler]

Pretty much last year everyone was 8 in the box, so that won't change. We have some pretty good WR's so I do not expect Fordie to let them go to waste. We must have somebody in the wings who is ready to play. I hope Sciarra comes back, I really do. Just to keep the other kid on the bench.

Ryan Anderson was named to the second team all state at offensive tackle - Class C. For those who don't follow such things, Class C is the next to smallest school category. AA being the largest schools, followed by A, B, C, and D.
