Someone tell me we roll the loser irish in that dump of a stadium

Brother I don’t think I’ve ever looked forward to a game so much in my ******* life. I want to humiliate them, and we will.

Yes

We have so many good athletes on this team it’s ridiculous.

Still a little uncomfortable/shocking to be so excited about the DL when we just lost the best DE duo that’s ever played here

I will fly the Fire Dawson banner personally if we aren't Air Raiding most of our opponents. We need to play with tempo, get chunk plays and be up by 3 TDs and sitting our starters coming out of halftime. If we're not surpassing 80 snaps a game, we're not being fair to our personnel. Even in the first half, we should alternate lines each series to get more players on the field with meaningful snaps. We have just too many talented kids not to play them all, especially at WR, RB, DL and DB.

Cantwell at LT. Hmmmm.

Insane that some of the schools in the region let dunningan get away.

It’s still very early in spring, but I’m a big believer in first impressions. Here are some tidbits from spring:

- We are going to rush the passer. Marquise Lightfoot in particular looks like he could have a big season. He’s added about 10 pounds, but more importantly he’s sharpened his pass rush repetoire. His spin move is becoming a weapon. Justin Scott is another one who may be reaching a new level. They watched Bain and Mesidor’s journeys and want similar success for themselves.

- I am very encouraged by what I’m seeing out of Jackson Cantwell. He is not a finished product by any means, but he is future along at left tackle than I anticipated. When he gets his hands on someone, it’s over. Max Buchanan is also impressing at right guard. Fluid and physical.

- Josh Moore and Somourian Wingo are two of the most natural athletes on the team. Both have made spectacular contested catches in the early going.

- Somebody who would know told me that Gavin Mueller reminds him of a young Jeremy Shockey.

- Chase Smith is wearing #9 and he has a lot of people asking, “Who is that?” Health is always going to be the key variable, but we have a unique combination of size, age and underlying athleticism between Smith and Mo Toure.

- Omar Thornton is playing safety and throwing himself around like a missile. Nickel has been a wide-open competition with a lot of names involved. JJ Dunnigan is playing boundary safety for now, but some around the program feel he could play any position in the secondary including outside corner.

- One younger guy who has been tough to block: freshman DT Logan Nagle.

5 stars are gonna 5 star.
Its time for Lightfoot and Scott to put college football on notice. We saw flashes last season but not much was expected of them in terms of consistently making splash plays. Now they are the old heads in the room and the freak athletes.

They are built like the athletes we saw at Bama for the past 10 years. Flashed as freshmen/sophomores and dominated as juniors/seniors
