I posted some of my impressions of the offense on the Maroon Musket blog but one thing I didn't mention was my thoughts on the defense. In the second half when the game became a normal scrimmage, the sides split apart and the defense went to the far side of the field and immediately noticeable was the lack of numbers on that side of the ball. At various times the first team O went against the 1st and 2nd team Dee and the 2nd string O did the same. While the offense was completely changing all 11 men, the Dee appeared to only being changing some of the players, I just don't think they have enough bodies (capable bodies?) to field two "strings" Looked like the they had enough DBs and maybe LBs but real short on the D-Line.

I know Coach talked about depth being a problem on defense and it was apparent on Saturday.

As for the helmets, glad I'm not the only one who hated hated that blue stripe. Give me red, give me black but blue? No thanks.

Red makes me think of BU. Black makes me think of NU. Our football program having any association with either of those two institutions makes me want to throw up. If they want stripes, make them maroon.

Pagel is a RS Senior this fall. AJ Doyle, Mike Wegzyn, Todd Stafford. All three are young guys coming into the program in the next season or two with some potential. One of them may be your big time QB.

The Futurliner Bus...
12 built and only 3 are supposed to exist...
which would mean that Peter Pan's red one and green one are two of them...

The other was totally restored...not just as a display unit like PP's pair...
and that one sold for $4.1M at a January 2006 Barrteet-Jackson AZ auction...
