[TheCusian]

Love the confidence. But careful George, you might need to save a lot of space on that bandwagon. #allthemedia #halfofcentralny

Well, this is a first, very interesting and, I think, expected from what everyone's seen and heard.

I'd say Wilson is done. If he is being "challenged" by a true freshman at this point, Dungey will be ahead by the end of the season. And after one year of S&C and getting acclimated, he'll be clearly ahead.

I don't pump up walkons but the kid is curious. He's 10.97 100 meter track kid from Detroit. Did make all-state. Has some impressive HS video. If only he weren't a midget but like I said, he's an interesting prospect, maybe in the return game down the road.

Avant is in the top 3/4 WR's on the team. Behind them is the question marks. Adly is a rFR, i'm not going to freak because he dropped a pass.

I really wish Custis had a RS year last year. I know the staff felt he could help as a FR, but, he would've been very well served with a Red-Shirt.

Not always the case. Honestly, Dungey is the only realistic guy to be competing right now with AJ down. Mahoney isn't a threat (although he was fun to watch this Spring). This staff values competition so I'm sure they wanted to put that out there.

Next year, when they're dividing reps the guys will get graded out and whoever grades highest will get the nod.

I dont know how Dungey is going to turn out. I do know he has been the most impressive QB we had coming in as a summer freshman. Thats got to be a great sign. Not ready to crown him as anything. He needs to develop and get better and continue to show progress if he wants to be the stud that we are all hoping he could be.

Juwan Dowels, I have high hope for him.

Amazing really that if Dungey is that good with the high IQ, body type etc, that all the schools out west missed on him.

• Shafer said the first defensive play that stood out to him was a pick-six by redshirt freshman cornerback by Juwan Dowels. The media hadn’t arrived at that point, but Shafer said Dowels stepped in front of an out-cut and returned it 35-40 yards for the score.
• George Morris ran for a 50-yard touchdown before the media arrived at the field, Shafer said.
• “Steven Clark was in the backfield all day,” Shafer said of the freshman nose tackle. He also noted how freshman defensive end Qaadir Sheppard had a couple nice plays. With injuries to junior Ron Thompson and senior John Raymon on the defensive line, the two freshmen have stepped up.
• Wide receivers Sean Avant (ice on right knee) and Steve Ishmael (ice on left knee) both sat on the bench during the scrimmage.
• Terrel Hunt threw two touchdown passes, one of which was a score of about 20 yards where Estime caught the ball at the 5-yard line, turned and accelerated into the end zone. The other was a back-shoulder pass to hybrid Ervin Philips for a score of around 35 yards.
• Injured defensive starters Raymon and Thompson were both on the defensive sideline, Raymon carrying Gatorades in his left hand and Thompson wearing the team’s Fort Drum shirt, this time without crutches.
• Freshman hybrid Dontae Strickland was another skill player who did not take any snaps during the Fanfest scrimmage due to a minor lower-body injury.
  
  Strickland broke seven or eight tackles over the course of a few plays on Thursday. He caught a pair of intermediate passes and shook off a few defenders on a jet sweep before being gang tackled at the line of scrimmage.
  
  Freshman running back Jordan Fredericks had a few more solid runs after standing out at Fanfest. He did miss a check, however, and getting down the playbook will be the key for him seeing the field this year.
  
  Freshman hybrid Tyrone Perkins was a weapon in the passing game again, taking a screen for about nine yards. He stood out in pass skeleton at the Fanfest scrimmage.
• 
  
• Freshman walk-on running back Jacob Hill turned in another solid performance. His speed helps balance out his lack of size and strength.

Truly believe Hunt is going to shock the world this year.

Did I spot a bubble screen

One nit pick ... It seems the C snap to QB is slow ... Hopefully they can sharpen it up by week 2
