"Geez look at Meier's hair. Sharp's got a pretty good mop going as well -- are we a football team or Lynyrd Skynyrd?"

• 8200 attendance -- continued improvement.
• There's quite a range of opinions on the Gridiron Board, but I give a slight edge to Reesing at QB. That's based on the fact that when he throws he really seems to deliver the ball. If he's throwing at an open receiver, he gets it in his hands. His escapability is also a big plus. Needs to hold onto the ball. Again, it's only a slight edge as Meier has his strengths as well. Either one of these guys can lead us to nine plus wins.
• Marcus Henry -- 6 rec  150yd  3 TD -- yes!
• B-Mac 15/80 and 2 tds.
• Talib played quite a bit at wideout. He is an awesome talent, but I like him focused on defense.
• Rivera played with the white team, possibly to balance things out (8 tackles). Mortenson (10 tackles, 1 sack) looked good -- he's got a mean streak as he even had a questionable hit on Meier. (Checking the local media today it looks as though Mortenson has edged Rivera at the moment for the starting spot)
• The quarterbacks were live in the first half. I like it. I think we're developing a real football attitude across the board.
• The O-line looks strong, I really don't think our back-up d-line is quite that bad.
• Looking at Marc Jones, I'm kind of wanting to go to the old Washington Redskins/Riggins two-tight end offense.
• We saw a lot of passing today, but I'd guess that we saw the very basic version of this offense. I'm also thinking Sharp's carries were limited strictly to keep him off of the opponents radar (wrong-tweaked foot injury).
• Interesting that KSU made our poster.
• Justin Thornton played defense.
• Angus Quigley played at wide receiver.
• Jake Sharp did play with a tweaked ankle. Dexton Fields and Tertavian Ingram did not play due to minor injuries.
