Dino's Game 1 Press Conference | Colgate

[OrangeXtreme]

 

[OrangeXtreme]

New captains announced: Special Teams: Brady Denaburg (w/ Justin Barron) Defense: Isaiah Johnson (w/ Marlowe Wax) Offense: Damien Alford (w/ Garrett Shrader)

Trebor Pena sustained an "owie" and may not be available on Saturday

Shrader unlimited pitch count.

Depth chart will be released at 1 PM, waiting for exchange with Colgate.

At least you can hear the questions now.

 

[LeMoyneCuse]

Depth charts embargoed until 1pm. Sigh.

 

[MikeSU02]

Second captain is Alford????

Pena owie.

 

[JRHEETER]

Second captain is Alford????

Pena owie.

Alford has stepped up in a MAJOR way this camp. Both on and off field

Alford is about to break out big time.

 

[OttosDad]

Peña sounds unlikely for Colgate.

 

[LeMoyneCuse]

Reed and Wohlabaugh apparently listed as 1s.

 

[Chip]

Beck calling the game from the booth. I like that.

 

[TheHaze315]

I hope it’s only a one week thing for Peña, I haven’t got a chance yet to watch the presser so I haven’t seen if there was any added concern to Dino calling it the infamous owie, but I think Pena is in fit a big year hope he’s good to go for week 2.

Emily asked if just for Colgate, and he said yes.

My surprise prediction

 

[TheHaze315]

Awesome, appreciate the context.. Also appreciate Emily following up.

 

[Chip]

Reed and Wohlabaugh apparently listed as 1s.

Hard to hear the questions, but I think Emily indicated Reed listed as an OR. But Dino said he would play first.

 

[LeMoyneCuse]

Okay rewound. Reed is the 1 at Center but (I'm assuming Ilaoa - the name was never explicitly said) will also play because there wasn't much separation.

Donovan Brown has Pena's spot (assuming on specials).

Ellis is available but not starting. More and Wohlabaugh are the 1s "on the right side", in part because they were healthy all of camp.

 

[mustacheovich]

Apparently Lowery is ahead of Thompson right now? Assume that’s just due to Thompson being limited for most of camp.

 

[Goin' Deep]

Alford chosen by the team as a captain.
This means players look to him to both lead and deliver.
VERY significant.

If Reed and Wohlabaugh are starting I see that as a good thing. We pretty much know what we have in the returning pieces and if they are replacing them they are even better. Love it.

Ellis, Ilaoa and Bradford as subs is a pretty good depth.

 

[LeMoyneCuse]

Ellis, Ilaoa and Bradford as subs is a pretty good depth.

I should mention that Dino alluded to Ellis not being 100%.

 

[orangepassion]

Offense: Damien Alford (w/ Garrett Shrader)

Pretty surprising after he briefly put his name in the portal. Agree that Alford is going to be a bad man on the field this year.

and there is your surprise starter

Glass half full guess is that they want Thompson to have another week or so of recovery before Purdue. That is just a guess, to be clear.

That, and I think Lowery is probably looking good in practice. Good problem to have.

It feels good to say that - "good problem to have".

 

[CbusCuse]

Yes but Wohlabaugh is also starting ahead of Bradford and Ilaoa...kind of. I guess Ilaoa may be sharing reps at the Center spot.
