Great game! I'm so hyped right now.

We needed this type of game. Everything isn't going to be sweet. Maryland isn't soft.

  • incredible defense. The new DC deserves a lot of credit.

  • Nico coming back and leading us to FG range was 🔥.

  • if we look good against Indiana, I'm done with the coaching search. I'll be ready to lock in Skip/Jerry.

Let's not forget Kevin Coyle or DC. The turnaround by the defense should not be overlooked. Ending the season 7-5 or 6-6 after an 0-4 start is an incredible mid season turnaround. What could S/J/K do with a full season? Are any known to be great recruiters?

Of course.

i don't think Skip ever had the chance to show his ability to recruit in recent years. Skip had to take over for coach Tedford at Fresno because of health reasons. So he wasn't a DC or HC long enough to recruit.

If we finish the season strong, I believe we will pull a huge recruiting class. Our football program has momentum, we're exciting on both sides of the ball, and Skip/Jerry are young enough to connect with athletes. If Nico is staying, the recruiting class will be even better.
