Best Presser all year.....with regards to actual information. Minimal coach speak. Sad news on duke, but sounds like he still has the team.

Seems like duke was the "cancer" that was rumored. Their almost seemed like a sense of relief in his demeanor.

Enjoyed that. He seemed really genuine and sincere as opposed to guarded and uptight.

I like how he said "my team will be fine, we will move forward."

Showed leadership and a genuine ownership

Well, like that we should be working on impact plays in the off week.

[wdefromtx 3,159]

I like that we went old school and had some full contact practice.

Maybe now that GUS is "hitting his stride" with his pressers we can look for the offense to find it's identity.

Not calling a 180 on the year just yet but if our offense can show some life and excitement it may give the defense a spark to play faster and harder. We will find out soon enough.

Nice to know that TJ Davis will be back for the next game. Probably not a game-changer but he'll help with depth moving forward.
