As usual, it would seem special teams is going to be left out - I don't see a single kicker on the list here, at least. I'm sure some of these guys are going to get some time on special teams while they wait for their starting positions to open up, and getting more speed on that side of the ball would be excellent, but it won't matter if we can't get a kicker that can keep the ball on the field on kickoffs. Letting our opponents repeatedly start on the 35 yard line is not exactly encouraging to me.

That said, it would seem our program is going in the right direction here. We definitely needed some more depth on defense, and it looks like we're going to get it. I've said it before and I'll say it again - I'm much less concerned about Ault and much more concerned about our program. If Ault can reinvent himself the way Tom Coughlin and countless others have reinvented themselves, we'll be the ones that benefit from that.

  1. Nevada got someone from De La Salle? Assuming he was a starter there, he should be a starter real soon for Nevada. I still hate De La Salle with a passion, but will welcome their starters to Nevada with open arms.

    You ever seen that South Park episode when the kids get all excited that they beat the spread of the football game. Yeah, that was our team expect De La Salle would win by 63 points.

  2. I was just thinking how I wanted this website, but I'm glad someone has it up already. Keep up the good work.
