Re: Offensive Play Calling- Have we run a single trick play?
If memory serves me correctly the fake punt on our 20 yard line against Boise if not trickery was pretty bold. Of course trickery is not necessarily synonymous with effective.

Re: Bonner
If we didn’t have Bonner we would be 0-2 right now, the guy is a stud, he’s going to lead this team to some good wins this year Agree 100 %!! Quick reads and release compensate for questionable arm strength. That attribute is much needed… takes pressure off the O-Line. He’s a gamer. For a chubby 23...

Re: Nice game plan craig

Re: Two breaks we caught, or it would have been a lot worse
Jordan Nathan is back there for a reason...a very good reason...he simply has the hands, nerves, and judgment that it takes to excel back there. Seldom makes a mistake and at least for last year we were middle to upper tier in return yards.
