Re: One Moore Time, A Coaching Career on NCAA14

All caught up -- have to say, I was surprised to see Moore leave so soon for an HC job, but he's doing great work at CSU.

Really glad you made the switch to Crayton, feel he's the better QB for you -- your record since has proven it. Your O-Line is a beast, so your offense being dominant is not all that surprising to me. With the way your team is performing, you could be in line for a bigger HC job next season.

It was tough to leave Boise State, but it was also hard just playing Offense the whole time. With my massive conference realignment, it made it a little easier leaving for CSU now that they are in the Big 12 vs having to play BSU every year, so I am not sure soon I would leave anytime soon. I think CSU needs to build up some sucess in the Big 12.

BATTLE FOR THE BRONZE BOOT!!!

The Battle for the Bronze Boot is a tradition that is over 50 yrs old, dating back to 1968, but this rivalry is even older then that, with CSU vs Wyoming dating all the way back 1899 when CSU then known as Colorado agricultural beat Wyoming 12-0.

Coming off back to back Top-5 victories, Colorado came into the game favored, but Wyoming (3-2) was coming off a huge (22-21) upset of Top-25 Washington, so Coach Moore knew the Cowboys were not going to be a pushover.

Coach Moore

"Wyoming has talent on both sides of the ball and SO QB Bryant Doty has played exceptionally well since taking over for Chandler Garrett after his season ending injury. But honestly I feel if we can control our turnovers we have the talent and ability to beat anyone in the nation, and that's not a bold statement that's fact"

GAME RECAP

Wyoming won the toss and elected to receive as they looked to score first, and that desire was met as Doty completes a 24 yd pss to B. Ingram to make it (7-0).

Colorado State however quickly answered back despite their first drive stalling short (really short) of the endzone, P. Love connected on a 44 yd FG to make the game (7-3), but it wouldn't stay that way for very long. After a big 3 and out, Colorado State finds paydirt as A. Clayton completes a 5 yd slant to M. Robinson to put the Ram up (10-7) as we head to the 2nd Quarter.

Coming off back to back games without a turnover, things were looking up for A. Clayton (not Crayton ), but whether it was a case over being over confident or just the fact Wyoming made great play's that streak came crashing down. Clayton would go on to throw 2-2nd Quarter INT's killing multiple chances for the Rams to blow this game wideopen, but luckily for them Wyoming wasn't able to capitalize on either turnover and with 52 seconds to play it was CSU adding to their lead as C. DeAngelis scores from 3 yds out to make it (17-7) at the half.

The 3rd Quarter didn't get much better for Clayton as the QB not only throws his 3rd INT of the game but he also loses a fumble after a 25 yd run, but again the Ram's "D" steps up stuffing any kind of ground attack Wyoming would try to muster and again it was Love coming through with a 28 yd FG to extend CSU's lead to (20-7) with just 30 seconds to play in the 3rd.

That's when we saw history. Backed up on their own goaline, Wyoming's B. Doty would scramble away from the pressure avoiding the safety to come up with what has to be the biggest play in school history. After avoid the rush, Doty would fire a pass down field to K. Phillips who was so far behind the Defense he was actually in a separate zip code. Phillips would take the pass to the house to pull the Cowboys within a score (20-14). After the play was over the offical stat of the pass was (102 yds)

Leading by just 6, Coach Moore looked to use a rushing attack that had been pretty dominant all game to chew up some much needed clock, and the plan of attack was perfect as DeAngels and Jackson combine for 89 yds, but after a sack and 2 incompletes the Rams were forced to settle for a 33 yd FG from Love to make it (23-14) with 2:16 to play.

Down by 9 with just over 2 minutes to play, Wyoming would need some big plays and big plays they would get as Doty leads the team down field and into the endzone to make it (23-21) with 1:24 to play.

Left with no choice, the Cowboys would attempt the onside kick, but the Rams were ready as DeAngelis comes up with the ball. Wyoming however still had 2 of their 3 timeouts and they used them with perfection setting up a 3rd and 2 after the Rams fail to pick up a 1st down and back to back carries with DeAngelis. Despite his backfield having rushed for 243 yds with all 4 runners averaging over 4 yds a carry, Coach Moore went unconventional on the 3rd down play as he went to the air catching the Cowboys off guard, converted QB turned WR, B. Baker would take the pass and not only gain the first down but carry the ball down to the 10 yd line before being tackled by the Wyoming FS.

With the Cowboys out of timeouts there was nothing left they could do but watch Clayton kneel down to run out the clock, but Clayton had a different idea as he looked to put the dagger in the heart of his hated rival. Clayton would take the snap and roll right getting a huge block from TE T. Martin as he scores with ease to make it a 2 score game. FINAL SCORE CSU-30 WYOMING-21

QB A. Clayton-21/37 276 yds 1 TD 3 INT, 35 yds 1 TD 1 Fumble

UP NEXT CSU HAS A BYE WEEK IN WEEK 10 BEFORE TAKING ON (4-3)IOWA STATE

[Deuce2223]

Re: One Moore Time, A Coaching Career on NCAA14

COACH MOORE LANDS 7 WEEK 10 COMMITMENTS!!

Well Coach Mike Bobo's success in building several bigtime pipelines and a talented roster didn't turn into W's, he did set up a solid foundation for Coach Kellen Moore to hopefully build that foundation into winner's and in Week 10 he got several big time commitments that should go along way in helping with it.

CSU came into the season with just 10 Seniors on the 65 man roster, with the only needs being a backup QB and MLB,Overall depth on the defensive side of the ball and a new Punter.

With Piplines built into California (18 players), Florida (9 players), Oklahoma (6 players), Texas (3 players) Nebraksa (3 players) and the ability to keep local kids home (14 players from instate). Coach Moore and his staff went to work targeting not just those states, but also Washington, Idaho and Utah

Coach Moore

"I feel with my ties, playing and coaching background to both Washington and Idaho it just makes sense to start targeting recruits from those areas, as well a Utah and eventually Oregon and Nevada. The reality is well it's great to have a presence in Florida,Califorina,Texas and beyond, we want to still focus on buidling this program the same way I watched Coach Pete build Boise State. We are going to look for kids that don't get alot of offers and hopefully our passion for them will in turn help them to have a passion for Colorado State"

With a opening at the Punting position, Coach Moore wasted little time going after 2 of the better legs in the nation landing first 2* Derek Adams (Ranked #17) from Federal Heights Colorado and then adding fellow 2* Sam Davis (Ranked #22)from Alpine Utah.
.

Coach Moore

"Well it might seem weird to sign 2 punters, we felt like having some competition going into the spring wouldn't be a bad thing"

Well having a Punter is obviously huge, landing a backup QB and potential starter is even bigger.. and K-Moore got a good one.

The Magnum name in Idaho High School football is well known in the Treasure Valley first with Parker Magnum the Timberline star who went on to play WR for BYU, then younger brother and fellow WR Madison (Idaho State) and then brother #3 Tyler Magnum who followed Parker to BYU to play QB for the Cougars.

So it was a no brainer that the odds were going to be high that cousin Jakari was going to be pretty special too.

At 6'4 225 lbs, Jakari Magnum has dominated his opponents with both his arm and his feet. The Caldwell High School QB, has put up recording setting #'s as a 3 year starter, so much that EPSN has him ranked as a 4* Recruit and the #4 QB in his class.

Despite, Idaho quickly offering and Boise State and BYU both sending scouts to games, Jakari made it very clear who he wanted to play for as he started the season with CSU #1 on his list of schools..

J. Magnum

"To be honest, BSU and BYU never really had a chance. I knew from the day Coach "K" came to BSU, I wanted to play for him no matter where he went"

Coach Moore

"Jakari is your the QB that coach's dream about. He has the size,arm and mobility that it takes to play in the NFL and obviously is going to push A.C. for playing time and the chance to lead are team in the future"

Landing a top player on the offensive side wasn't the only thing Coach K, accomplished as he also 4 players on Defense including 1 potential 4 year starter.

4* FS Chris Donaldson (Ranked #5) from Price Utah has the size (6'2 186lb) and speed (90) that could make him a potential CB, he can work on his Man Coverage skills (63), but if not he still will make a big impact as the Ram's primarily play in a 3-3-5 formation.

Joining Donaldson are

3* MLB Lee Wheeler (Ranked #23) out of Redlands Colorado
3* DE Chad Taylor (Ranked #61) out of Lynnwood Washington
3* BJ Carrington (Ranked #33) out of Hacienda Heighta Califorina

(Wheeler had scholarship offers from both Stanford and San Diego State)

nice Commits! Looking forward to Magnum seeing his first action!

Re: One Moore Time, A Coaching Career on NCAA14

nice Commits! Looking forward to Magnum seeing his first action!

Yeah, I think he is going to be a good one. Obviously the way Clayton is playing right now, he will have a pretty good lead going into spring camp on the starters job, but as I found out in the Iowa State game, it's important to have a backup ready to be able to come in and still manage to run your offense. Current RS FR A. Heffner (64 OVR) looks more like a career #3 as his attributes are not great, so odds are Magnum is going to have to be active next season as the #2 and might only end up being a 2 year starter.

Re: One Moore Time, A Coaching Career on NCAA14

RAM'S THRIVE IN UNDERDOG ROLL

Despite 3 straight wins and a #15 Ranking in the Top-25 Poll's, Colorado State came into Ames Iowa as the the underdog as they took on (4-3) Iowa State in a Week 11 matchup, with Kirk Herbstreit picks the hometown Cyclones.

K.H.

"Honestly I am a huge believer in what Coach Moore has accomplished so far at CSU, but the reality is the Ram's have survived costly turnovers most of the season, and ISU has a great defense especially against the run, which I believe will force Clayton to make some bad pass's, which will in turn be the Ram's Achilles heal today"

GAME RECAP

Herby was correct with one thing. The Cyclone have a very good run defense or at least they did for the 1st half.

CSU would struggle managing to gain just 12 yds in the 1st Quarter, but a 23 yd pass to B. Baker would give the Rams the (7-3) going into the 2nd Q.

After a 32 yd FG by ISU to make the game (7-6), the scoring floodgates opened.

On the insueking kickoff, Ram's returnman M. Lyles takes the kick 97 yds to the house to make it (14-6), but Iowa State answers back with a 2 play 80 yd drive capped by a 75 yd pass play to RB K. Nawanagu to make it (14-13). The Ram's however fire back as Clayton completes 7 of 8 pass's to set up a 1st and goal. Still struggling with the run game, Coach Moore calls for a wildcat formation with Cameron DeAngelis lining up behind center. DeAngelis fakes the handoff to his backfield mate RB C. Jackson and takes the option straight up the gut for the 6 yd score (21-13) with 2:10 to play.

ISU would struggle to get anything going on offense as the Ram's "D" comes in fired up, and with 1:08 to play a Clayton to Baker hookup finds paydirt to make it (28-13). Looking to generate some "Mo" before the half, ISU goes to the air yet again, but CB M. Green is ready and picks off the pass give the Ram's yet another opportunity for points, a P. Love converts on a 28 yd FG to make it (31-13) at the half.

A. Clayton opens up the 2nd half scoring with a 5 yd keeper to make it (38-13) with 5:05.

3 minutes later after another defensive stop, it was Clayton leading the offensive back onto the field, but not for long. After back to back runs by DeAngelis, Clayton keeps the ball on a QB keeper looking to pickup the 1st down, which he does but the play comes at a cost as Clayton is forced to leave the game. (Later reported to be bruised ribs and suggested he not finish the game).

So with Clayton out, former starter C. Hill comes into to see his first action since Week 6 and despite not playing Hill shows no signs up rust as he completes 3 of 3 including a 1 yd pass to C. Wright in between 2 defenders to make it (45-13) as we head to the 4th.

Trailing by 32, ISU is forced to go to the air and things don't turn out well as the Cyclones fail to generate any type of offense at all and with a defense that was tired and wore out, the Ram's running game finally came alive as Cameron DeAngelis picks up 62 yds in the Quarter including a 1 yd to make it (52-13) with 5:39 to play.

Colorado State would add a 24 yd FG late in the game to close things out.

FINAL SCORE CSU-55 IOWA STATE-13

KEY STATS

UP NEXT (7-1) COLORADO STATE HOSTS (6-2) OKLAHOMA FOR SENIOR DAY IN A TOP-25 MATCHUP OF #15 VS #19

[Deuce2223]

Re: One Moore Time, A Coaching Career on NCAA14

RAMS FALL IN TOP-25 BATTLE

Turnovers plagued the Ram's early in the season, but since switching to QB A. Clayton in Week 5, the only blip on that radar was CSU's matchup with Wyoming in Week 8, but today the turnover plague returned in full force to Fort Collins ruining the Ram's senior day celebration.


GAME RECAP

Before the game even started, Coach Moore knew his gameplan would involve both RS SO A. Clayton and SR C. Hill spending time behind center. What he didn't know was that both QB's would struggle playing the worst game's of their careers.

Clayton would start the game and play the first half, but would complete just 8/21 pass's for 149 yds with 0 TD's and 4 INT's, which lead to the Ram's trailing at the half (24-14). The only positive note for CSU was JR RB Cameron DeAngelis scoring 2 TD's out of the wildcat to at least keep the Ram's in the game.

With Clayton on the bench, SR C. Hill led the team onto the field for the 2nd half. Hill played well in his 2 series in the 4th Quarter against ISU and was hoping that success would be with him today, but after completing 3 of his first 4 pass attempts, Hill's 4th attempt would find the hands of a Oklahoma defender leading to another Sooner TD. The 2nd series wasn't any better as a dropped pass and a 9 yd sack led to another 3rd and 19, which in turn led to INT #2 and yet another Oklahoma touchdown.

Series #3 didn't end in a turnover but it did end in a punt, and with 17 seconds to play in the 3rd, Oklahoma puts 3 more on the scoreboard on a 42 yd kick.

Down (41-14), CSU's chances for victory fell somewhere between none and zero and to make those odd's even better Hill would fumble the ball which was recovered and scored with by the Sooners D to make it (48-14). Then on the next series Hill would get the 1 on 1 coverage he wanted as he fires to C. Wright downfield, but the ball bounces off Wright's back and into the hands of C. Sylvie only to be returned 54 yds for the score (55-14) with 6 minutes to play.

To make matters worse, the sellout crowd was starting to leave, as fan's boo's were heard throughout the stadium. Coach Moore was left wondering what to do. Both QB's had turned the ball over 4 times and neither looked like they wanted to take the field, the Defense was gassed and the O-Line was M.I.A. along with the run game that had managed only 60 yds.

Hill would lead the team. It was after his last game in front of what was turning into a hostile homecrowd. Hill would do his best to win back to the their hearts. Over the course of the next 6 minutes Hill would lead the team on back to back scoring drives with TD pass's. The Defense also finally showed some spark as they stepped up holding the Sooners to a 40 yd FG in the closing seconds.

FINAL SCORE OKLAHOMA-58 COLORADO STATE-28

KEY STATS
QB A. Clayton-8/21 149 yds 4 INT, 7 carries 46 yds

UP NEXT COLORADO STATE HITS THE ROAD FOR THEIR FINAL 3 GAMES OF THE SEASON, WITH THEIR 1ST STOP IN STILLWATER VS THE (7-2) COWBOYS OF OKLAHOMA STATE

[Deuce2223]

RAMS WIN 2 OF 3 ON THE ROAD TO CLOSE OUT SEASON!!

After the humiliating loss to the Sooners on Senior Day, Colorado State hit the road for their final 3 games of the season. The loss to Oklahoma dropped the Ram's to #21 in the Rankings, but with 7 win's already secured, Coach Moore knew worst case scenario, his team was still going bowling, now basically what was left for the team to accomplish was pride and to prove to the rest of the nation, that this wasn't just a 1 year fluke.

Here is a recap of the final 3 games.

@ (7-2) OKLAHOMA STATE

The Rams took the early (14-0) lead as Clayton scores 1 from the ground and 1 with his arm, but a pair of Cowboy touchdowns tie's the game (14-14) early in the 2nd Quarter. Both offenses would go cold, but CSU would manage a pair of FG's (21 and 25) to take the (20-14) lead into the half.

The 3rd Quarter, was owned by the Cowboys run game as they tack on 2 more scores from the ground plus a FG to take a (31-27) lead into the 4th.

CSU would retake the lead early in the 4th as Clayton scores another with his feet from 10 yds out (34-31), but Oklahoma State answers back with a 33 yd TD pass to make it (38-34) with 7 minutes to play.

This time Clayton would go to the air hooking up with C. Wright on a 8 yd score as the Rams retake the lead (41-38), but leaving 3 minutes to play was just to much to ask from the Ram's tired "D", as Oklahoma State scores the winning touchdown with just 22 seconds to play. FINAL SCORE OSU-45 CSU-41

KEY PLAYERS
QB. A Clayton-25/42 395 yds 3 TD, 15 carries 75 yds 2 TD, 2 fumbles
RB C. DeAngelis-11 carries 46 yds, 1 fumble
WR B. Baker 13 rec 166 yds 2 TD
TE S. Romero-7 rec 167 yds
WR C. Wright-2 rec 17 yds 1 TD


@ (3-7) AIR FORCE

Coming off back to back loss's and with the Ram-Falcon Trophy on the line, Colorado would right the ship with a huge 4th quarter comeback beating the Falcons for just the 3rd time in the past 12 seasons.

Air Force lead at the half (21-0), but 4-2nd half TD pass's by Clayton and tie the game (35-35) with 36 seconds to play.

Rather then just play for Overtime Air Force plays aggressive and tries to put the team in FG position in the final seconds, but the plan backfires as JR SS Bryan Jones comes up with Pick 6 INT that he returns 33 yds for the final score. FINAL CSU-42 AF-35

KEY STATS
QB-A. Clayton-20/31 229 yds 4 TD 1 INT, 13 carries 66 yds

WR C. Wright-4 rec 31 yds 1 TD
SS B. Jones- Game winning INT

Air Force ran for 344 yds, including 216 yds on 29 carries by E. Sims.

@ (5-6) TULSA

This was a double wammy for the Golden Hurricanes. Not only was it Senior day, but they were also playing for a chance to get to 6 wins and become bowl eligible.

Colorado State would score the first 19 points of the game as Love kicks a 31 yd FG, Clayton adds a pair of rushing scores and the Ram's "D" picks up a Safety.

Tulsa however would answer back with a FG of their own with 1:26 to play in the half, and then after a CSU fumble manage to find the endzone as the half came to a close, going into the locker room down (19-10).

Tusla would close the gap in the 3rd Quarter to make it (19-17) as the Ram's struggle to do anything on offense as Clayton fumbles the ball inside the 5.

But in the 4th it was Cameron DeAngelis coming up big as he scores 12th rushing TD of the season to secure the Ram's victory.FINAL SCORE CSU-26 TULSA-17

KEY PLAYERS
QB A. Clayton-16/28 182 yds, 20 carries 88 yds 2 TD, 2 Fumbles

Re: One Moore Time, A Coaching Career on NCAA14

HEISMAN WATCH IS HEATING UP

All eyes will be on 3 games this weekend as Heisman voters look to try and make a final decision on who exactly is the best player in college football.

Boise State QB Luke Collins started out the season slow with just 8 TD's in his first 3 games, but has exploded of late, and currently owns a 211.5 QB Rating going into Championship week. Collins has completed a career best 78.5% of his pass's (193/246) for 2868 yds with 28 TD and just 3 INT. Collins has also added 648 yds on the ground with another 12 TD's, making him one of the best dual threats in the game.

Collins #1 competition also faces it as well from his own teammate. FSU's QB M. Henry and HB M. Morgan currently are #2 and #3 on the watch list.

Henry a RS SR has exploded in his first season as a starter completing 70.4% of his pass's (226/321) for 3120 yds with 36 TD and just 2 INT, and like Collins he can also do things with his feet adding another 482 yds and 8 scores. Henry is the current favorite to win the Maxwell, Walter Camp and O'Brien

However he shares some of the limelight as RS JR RB M. Morgan has carried the ball 186 times for 1235 yds and 17 TD's on the ground well adding another 238 yds and 3 TD receiving, and 347 yds and 1 TD returning kicks.

The Big Ten Title game will have the #4 and #5 members of the watch list.

Michigan RS SR RB Kingston Davis has completed his 3rd 1000 yd season rushing 180 times for 1334 yds and 17 TD's. He also has 27 rec for 381 yds and 4 TD's. Davis is currently the favorite to win the Doak Walker

Ohio State RS SR QB D. Haskins like Collins and Henry is one of the nation's best dual threat QB's and like Henry has put up huge #'s as a 1 year starter, finishing the year with 188.2 QB Rating well completing 70.5% of his pass's. (179/254) for 2437 yds 31 TD and 4 INT. He also has 138 carries for 533 yds and 6 TD.

CSU'S BRANDON BAKER FAVORITE FOR BILETNIKOFF!!

JR Brandon Baker arrived at at CSU as a Athlete recruit and spent his first 2 seasons as the #3 QB and #5 WR, managing just 17 rec for 200 yds and 4 TD's. But a fulltime move to WR this season and a chance to play in Kellen Moore's #1 rated passing attack has made Baker a star.

Baker will go into Bowl week having already broken 3 schools records. He has 105 rec. 1557 yds and 15 TD's.

Last year's Biletnikoff winner was Boise State's J. Carter. Well Carter's #'s were amazing in K-Moore's Offense (115 rec 1805 yds 19 TD last year), he has done pretty well this year too, as he currently sits #5 in the voting after posting yet another 1000 yd season. Carter still with 2 games to play has 74 rec for 1096 yds and 11 TD.

RAM'S MARTIN #4 IN VOTING FOR MACKEY!

6'3 RS JR Tom Martin has become a star in the Ram's new offensive scheme under Coach Kellen Moore. As a starter last season Matin had 37 rec for 470 yds and 2 TD, but this season he has 57 rec for 1014 yds with 5 TD.

Coach Moore

"Martin has become a big play target for us, raising his avg catch from 12.7 yds to 17.8 and his avg yds per game from 39.2 to 84.5."

CSU currently is ranked the #1 passing attack in college football amassing 371 yds in the air which in turn has their Overall offense ranked #2 in the nation with 524.5 yds per game. But the Rams don't just get yards they also score points as they are currently #4 in the nation at 41.2 PPG.

Northwestern however isn't no slouch. They are #5 in passing (291.6 yds) #16 in Total Offense (463.8) and #18 in scoring (35.4).

Well the stat's might say Colorado State is the better team, the football experts actually rank the Wildcats as the better team. CSU (B- Overall, B- Offense, B- Defense), Northwestern (B+ Overall, A Offense B+ Defense).

The Wildcats are led by RS SR QB Aidan Smith (3456 yds (#2 in the nation) with 36 TD 6 INT) a trio of RB's (SR J. Larkin-740 yds 5 TD, JR B. Owen-691 yds 8 TD, and FR R. Douglas-434 yds 2 TD).

Smith also has a trio of targets he likes. RS SR R. Lees-84 rec 1326 yds 15 TD, RS SR B. Skowronek-52 rec 711 yds 6 TD and JR M. Allen-27 rec 354 yds 9 TD.

For Colorado State, RS SO A. Clayton will be looking for 118 yds passing (currently 2882) to break 3000 yds for the season and look to improve on his 22 TD to 11 INT ratio.

Who knows what kind of #'s he would've had if C. Hill and his 1571 yds, 16 TD and 19 INT's were not in the picture.

Clayton will also be looking to add to his 507 yds rushing and 10 TD's scored via the ground, despite 6 fumbles.

JR RB Cameron DeAngelis has already broke 1000 yds rushing with 228 carries for 1110 yds but like Clayton he would love to add to those totals as well as his 12 TD's.

For WR Brandon Baker it's already been a record setting year (105, 1527 yds 15 T, but adding to those #'s won't hurt as he looks to secure the title as the best WR in the country, but he isn't Clayton's only target.

TE T. Martin and his 1000 yds and 57 rec are available, C. Wright's 53 rec 777 yds and 12 TD's are also impressive and #3 WR D. Flanagan-29 rec 444 yds 2 TD has proven he can make big plays as well.

Those boys from Oklahoma really put a wrench in your season. Good wins to round it out though. Good luck against North Western is Baker a senior or will he return next season to add to those numbers?

To be honest, I didn't expect to win the Texas or Nebraska games, so 8 to 9 wins was sorta what I had already considered to be a very successful season and if we can win the bowl game 10 would be amazing.

Baker is only a JR. He was rated a 72 QB when I took over the team, but I moved him to WR and he became a 75, then after training went to a 80. Crazy part was he never threw a pass his first 2 seasons, but did actually have a couple catches, as his hands where actually the highest rated on the team next to Martin the TE.

I am excited as my entire WR core returns along with Martin. If I can cut down on the turnovers, I expect Clayton to put up huge #'s next year. I also return DeAngelis at RB so pretty much the only thing I am replacing is 2 starters on the O-Line and I had pretty solid depth, so I feel good about next season offensively.

I do lose my starting MLB plus a OLB and DE that were my Top-3 tacklers on the team and combined for 14.5 sacks, so that was most of my focus in Recruting early, and then I looked for guy's without scholarship offers at key Offensive spots for the off-season. I am super stoked with how things turned out and can't wait to share the results.
