Back-to-back PL champs 2016 and 2017.... but need to get back to relevance in the national FCS scene.

And OL has depth. 7 returning starters. An O geared to the skills we have,not to ones we used to have.
Rewatched .much of last season. Painful. We did leave 3 Ws on the field. STs a part of that as well as ridiculous red zone O. The play calling was predictble,vanilla and absurd.
Key question is whether new OC Dan Hunt will make a difference.
Dunno sunday.owl has pointed out the reality of Coach Hunt's Os. Not a real impact OC but professional. He may not be startlingly innovative but he can put in his O and run it competently. Given the last 4-5 yrs with no consistent O, if Hunt can field an O that can score I won't care if it's boring.👍😊

Sorry all. Long time reader, first post. Anyway, first time in quite awhile I am looking forward to season. Hope springs eternal! Stay within 14 of Nova, and score minimum 1 points, and I will consider it a good start!

Hi OT. Welcome aboard. Nova a tough nut to start the season. Lost studs at each level but we return a lot also. DBs were our Achilles heel last yr. Big plays.ugh. Hope Coach K can get a cohesive backfield particularly the Ss
O we we return just about everyone. On paper that's faint praise at best. The issues for that O had less to do talent than coaching. LU hasn't had an O capable of scoring in 4 years. OL s/b above average. Talent is there staff needs to mold the unit. Do we finally have a Q? Hope Silbor is that player.
ST were not a positive for us. No ST coach last yr. Coach K has the unit now. He'll establish better coverage coverage. Better KOs and punts are a necessity.
Nova. We need to see a competitive game with positives staff can build off of.

Today is Report Day. Most have been on campus for most of summer. It seems Mohawks are the hairstyle for a lot of the players.🤣

I thought the use of "Mohawks" was a shortened form of the name MOuntain HAWKs.
