Now that there is something to talk about, let's talk football. Here are some of my observations from today's game:
The Good:
- The D-line looks to be much improved at stopping the run over last season, and our depth at that position looks to be the best in quite a few years.
- Nate Fouch is going to be a great safety. His coverage skills were so much better today that those of Sandry.
- Welnel played very well today in his first start
- I was impressed by our CB play today. That position has been a problem position for Montana for many seasons. The group we have now may be our strongest in many years.
- I love the transfer center from Nebraska. His snaps are crisp, and he puts the snap chest-high almost every play. As you know, snaps from center have been somewhat of a problem in the past.
- Our kicking game appears to be solid, in deep KOs, FGs, as well as punting.
_ In re-stating the obvious, Harris looks to be a great one at RB. He can catch the ball out of the backfield, adding another dimension to the passing game.
- Brown did not look like a freshman QB today. Even playing with the second team, he showed poise, great decision-making, strong running ability, a great arm, and much better throwing mechanics than Humphrey.
The Bad:
_ It is a mystery to me why our line can not create holes for our RBs. We were playing against a Div. II D-line, and still had no running game. We return several O-line starters, yet the running game is just not there.
_ Cam still looks like Cam
Overall, I was very impressed with the team today. I think we will know much more after we play Portland State.
