WR Scott broke finger and is out. Dang.

Bohl mentioned Tyler Hall to nickel will be a great move or something like that. T. Hall might be my favorite player on this team. So fast, physical and explosive. Wish he could get involved on offense a bit, too. Hope he can put on a little weight so he holds up throughout the season at nickel.

Mentioned Vanderwaal had some good throws yesterday. Bohl's being diplomatic about the QB competition so far.

Said the young cornerbacks (Blankenbaker, Coldon, B. Smith) are really good. Nice!

I still wonder if there isn't a grad QB transfer somewhere in the mix. Bohl is being very coy with his QB comments and does not seem overly focused on or concerned about the QB position. He does offer critiques about hitting throws and what not, but it isn't as pitched as it otherwise could be.

Ive been saying for months that there has to be a grad transfer QB in the works. Bohl is too good of a coach to waste an opportunity like this with an elite defense. If not, I will be disappointed. Nick Smith, while a competitor, would not be the answer at most Division 2 schools let alone an FBS.

Because we bring in 1 guy?! Let's pump the brakes here, we haven't even got one yet, let alone enough to consider it a trend.

This discusses the new strength staff. Everything seems really positive. One thing that I liked is they are focusing on strength and getting bigger (article mentioned that won't necessarily be the case in the fall) rather than conditioning and running. I'm a fan of this approach. Fall is the time to get in shape cardiovascularly. Spring is the time to get huge. You don't even need to be in that great of shape cardio-wise for football anyway.

I agree that now is a good time to focus less on conditioning and more on size and strength. But I would argue that fall is much to late to get in shape with cardio. As the spring semester ends, they should start hitting cardio harder and focus less on getting stronger and bigger and more on getting faster and in better cardio shape while maintaining the size and strength they gained in the spring.

That way, come fall camp, they just have to maintain everything, not worry about gains.
