39. Now that I am going to be up at Oregon State, God will guide the Cowboys to an amazing season that I don't get to see any of
If you ever need to laugh, just remember there was some idiot who wanted Bohl fired after 2 seasons.

40. Our QBs.
This may seem like it doesn't make sense but follow me on this one.
Most teams that have QB controversies rarely end up having a good year.
But in our situation, teams don't know our style of play. We may have one QB start at the beginning of the season, then switch to another, then later on even a 3rd QB.
Now, if we had pro-style QBs it wouldn't matter. But we have a mix of all sorts of QBs.
From what I am hearing, Stratton is a scrambler and runs a lot. We all know that Kirkgaard isn't a scrambler.
If we go from Stratton to Kirkgaard to whoever else, our offense might be changing game by game. Obviously we won't be going from a spread to triple option or anything dramatic, but the QBs will differ enough to significantly change our style of play.

True. We will keep teams guessing on whether or not their defense should practice fumble recovery drills or INT return blocking.

38. We develop a special teams that is not special needs. We have been atrocious for a decade. No returns on kicks or punts. A sorely lacking ability of development, finally turns to respectable. A huge part of the program. Christensen was horrible in this area. Field position, we have got to win this marker to have a shot at winning close games.
At the molecular level all mankind is a brilliant super-nova.

Pretty sad when our Punt Return plan ended up having to be "Rush 8 guys softly as to not rough the kicker and have the other three just stay out of the way so we didnt muff the punt and give the opposing team the ball inside the 20."

I just saw some of our punt "coverage" from the Utah State game last year in one of their players' highlight tapes. Absolutely horrendous. I hope that's a big point of emphasis this offseason.johnywyo wrote:38. We develop a special teams that is not special needs. We have been atrocious for a decade. No returns on kicks or punts.

Rufran is more of a posession/reliable reciever than a punt returner anyway. The rest, yeah.
