 The straight scoop
from Colonel Mustard
April 30, 1998
Overall I'm much
more confident about the offense than I
was before the game. But I am disappointed that London
didn't win the QB job so Newcombe could play
wingback, because I think we are a better
team with him at WB. But it doesn't
appear we can afford not to use
Bobby at QB. He
is so fast out of the option, maybe
the fastest QB I have ever seen. He
also
makes good decisions on the
option. I just hope he's durable enough for the position. Crouch is a better QB than Bobby,
but Newcombe is a better athlete. Crouch is the better passer
and runs the ball and the
option well. He just needs more reps.
London didn't look bad, but Bobby did so
well.
The O-line did a fair job,
but they have a ways to go. Our runners didn't stand out to me, but they were
solid. Alexander looked explosive, but
he did last spring too. So I hope he
picks up in the fall where he left off
this spring.
On defense you had to be impressed by
the overall team speed. No one could
block Kaiser. I was pleased with his
quickness despite his weight gain. I
don't think we can keep this guy
off the field. The other lineman Gill
was making plays, and I had never even
heard of him. Our linebackers run down
plays all over the field and are the
deepest group I can remember. Our
punter was lousy, but we have a freshman
coming in to punt.
