Colgate game

[Clickclack]

Colgate has a great RB and a great LB (he is similar to Disch but a little smaller). They have VERY tall recievers and a big TE. Their O-line has decent size but small compared to Montana(then again the Giants are small next to them) so we should match up well physically on D. The QB situation is similar to ours in that they have several players who are untested competing for the job, so hopefully we can get turn overs against them. If I am their coach I hand the ball of to the back and give him safe passes to work with.

 

Colgate is coming off a subpar year and will be ready to play. They will be better then everyone on AGS is saying. With that being said if (and its a BIG IF) we can get production out of the qb this year I think we could win this game going away. I NEVER SAY THAT! We have a HUGE O-line and we must establish the running game whether they load up the box or not. If Esposito is as good as advertised and reads his progressions right we could really open things up. This game will be riddled with penalties and t/o because of the first game scenario. Lets hope we can keep that in check.

 

UA needs to be good in every phase as Colgate is going to be better then people think. This game will probably end up being close but I think we have the team and especially the D to hold them.

ruler,

 

Much appreciated I will be listening on the radio. Great to see fall sports kicking up, that means basketball is right around the corner, but I'm not overlooking the fall. I was in VA all week so as some there like to say....let's get'r done!

Does anyone know where you can purchase a large UA flag? I have not been able to find one anywhere.

Just read through the game notes and as usual we are BIG up front, which I think is key to winning at this level. Tougas should be a wrecking ball up there and Nguti(sp?) is absolutly HUGE! I would like to see these guys run over Colgate and beat them sensless with Omar Johnson and Beigle. Just keep it between the tackles baby!...Just kidding! Does Gary Jones have any eligability? Used to love that Offense during that era...just run it up the middle!

 

I figure both QB's will play and I have inquired about Esposito and heard glowing reports about him. Where was he last year? I also imagine they have a package that includes Bocanegra as well to confuse our opponents. Lets just hope our REC don't drop 40 some odd passes this year! It could be the difference!

 

Secondary will probably be tested but Colgate also has new personnel at QB. Got to have that pass rush!

 

 

I swear I am coming back as a scout in my next life!!!!!

Maybe the Athletic Dept. has a few spares (or used ones) of the flags that fly over the gym.

Ford on Wyland's show today:

Had a fantastic preseason. Nicomini has mono, otherwise we're at full strength. Vinny will start at QB, he and Blasinsky were even after spring ball, but Esposito now has a slight edge. Probably won't go with a 2-QB system as neither has much experience.

 

Could be a great defense - the front may be better than last year, Dupont may be a franchise LB, losses at the corner, hope the front put enough pressure the corners won't be tested.

 

McCarty will get the majority of the carries, very explosive. Omar for short yardage, and Beigel. WR are better than last year. Wall the go-to, plus Bocanegra and DeAraujo.

 

Colgate much the same type of team we are. We'll try to run first, then go playaction. We'll try to take the run away, their QB is untested.

 

Fralicker and Lynch back at kicking.

Unless I see anything different, I'll be heading for the Tyler's Field parking lot, which is basically behind the visitors stands. Tailgating begins at 11 am
