preseason

[Eli]

Both my football teams have mediocre or crappy QB's...*sighing Jets and Great Danes fan*

[Dane Pound]

I'm hoping it's because our defense is so good.

 

If it makes us feel any better, Buffalo has yet to name a starting QB.

Gattuso on Rodger's radio show today (regular time 11:45 Wednesday). On QBs - throwing Sussman into the fire, DJ is a little limited on the throws he can make, Brunson is a gunslinger who's fun to watch.

 

Happier with the defense. Glad we've now got a full roster of scholarship kids and can redshirt some.

 

Buffalo has picked up fifteen junior college players this year, so it's tough to know what to expect from them.

 

Only the first two football games will be on the alternate station, the rest on 104.5

Can't believe the season is finally upon us! Woot!

Sadly, probably won't be able to read it online...but WOW...a 12 page insert spread on the Football team?! That's a major step-up by the TU...and I have to think maybe Benson's staff has reached out to try to garner more positive coverage.

[UAalum72]

12-page insert includes three full-page ads, a title page, and the home schedule on the back page.

 

One page with quick bios of Coaches Cowsette, Sweeney, Clark and Byham, and a three-question interview with Gattuso - will we be better? A better team culture, and we're deeper. Why former NFL players on the staff? They have intangibles coaching the positions they played. How are you feeling? The knees are better but need to be replaced

 

One page with 2015 stats, 2016 schedule comments and a parking map

 

A two-page spread looking ahead to the season - strengths are O-line, Tight end, and LB, weaknesses are QB, D-line, and secondary. Turning a program around is like turning a boat, you can't do it all at once. Ketter says we're heading in in the opposite direction from last year. Gattuso thinks we're level in talent with the rest of the CAA. Hanks says we're her to shock the CAA. Sussman called the 8/20 scrimmage "humbling".but he's worlds ahead of last year. Offense has more speed. Defense is more aggressive and deeper.

 

One page of our roster (players to watch are Neil Morrison, Sussman, Wynn and Ketter)

 

Two pages on the CAA (players to watch are Lauletta and David Jones of Richmond Ankrah of JMU, DeAndrade of UNH, and Kpassagnon of 'nova)

Crazy times. 4 CAA team are playing right now.

 

BTW, UA is a 27 point betting underdog tomorrow night.

[Dane Pound]

Stony Brook picked up a nice win over North Dakota.

[haggyland]

People are putting a lot of money on UA.

 

Line last night was UA getting 27 points.

 

Now they are a 21 point underdog.

 

I love me some UA but staying within 21 could be tough.
