This seems like a kid that could grow into a NFL-type DL. Thats were I’d like to see him end up. Deforest Buckner type body. Add 25 pounds and play at 6’7” 290
Clearly missing an elite dodger at attack. As Jeremy and others have noted… hopefully next year it’s the highly touted Anderson. Hiltz, Spallina, Anderson at attack and we go. Might be ahead of schedule as of now
They’ve taken Kellogg off the EMO and that has coincided with more success. They opt for Spallina, Leo, Hiltz, Thomson, Birt, Stevens now. Don’t have the Bomber from the outside, but they have crafty finishers everywhere and unselfish feeders.
Birt is so silky. Nice to see him have a good game today. Hes been a little quiet and feels like he’s starting to get his legs under him again. He was a 30 goal scorer last year, he gets clicking on the 2nd line with Stevens and Rhoa, watch out
Gonna get smoked. Im done. It’s too frustrating to listen to on the radio. Ridiculous that it’s not offered on ESPN+. Gait has to step in and make sure they are televised on reasonable outlets
Aviles went big time viral last night for that dirty, butt-end play on the wing. Tbh I think it may have been unintentional but what do I know

I get that the team stayed on the road all week. But ever since Gait took over as HC the game week media stuff has been almost nonexistent. Kind of frustrating. Gait does his presser if they have an upcoming home game. No player previews at all. Under Desko he would do media regardless as well...
In theory, I like it I just think of what Colorado’s OLine looked like this year. Pretty sure they brought in all new starters and had probably the worst line in P5
Thought Olexo was great on the wing Saturday. Didn’t hear his name mentioned much on defense so I guess I’m a little surprised he won the award. Thought Fig turned in his best game of the year against Angelus
Didn’t catch a ton of the game to be honest, will watch on Monday but one observation… Mule is a menace on the ride. Ruined Hops chances on the final possession. Should’ve resulted in the OT winner against Army. He has solidified his spot
IMO they have to get Spallina more involved off ball against elite teams too. Hes plenty capable of catching and finishing. Staff has to get him in better spots against elite teams too
IMO need 2 of 3 against Cornell, Hop, Delaware. Then 2 conference games and they would get in. Keep in mind none of those remaining quality OOC opponents are home. Neutral sight wins over top 20 teams would sure help
