 The straight scoop
from Colonel Mustard
Dec. 9, 1997
The best game we've played all year. If we
had played like that last week, we would
have beaten the Vermin like a drum. When
we've got it together, no one in the country
can touch us. A Michigan game would no
contest. Tennessee is, as my partner Joe
calls them, a soft team. They will score
some on us, but their defense won't even
slow us down.
I was happy that the team
seemed very pleased to win the Big 12
title. We
left the starters in the game way too
long for my taste. I worry about injury
and also that the backups look rusty,
particularly London.
Turning to recuiting, I think
it is imperative that we sign two super QBs and some rush ends. Newcombe is too valiable to play QB -- I don't care what anyone says. He is
the second coming of the Jet. I have never
seen anyone with his versitility. Randy
Stella from Benson has yet to commit,
but he would be a great speed
linebacker. I looked at one of my
preseason mags, and they didn't rate any
of our freshmen in the top 50, and
yet seven are contributing to the best team
in the country.
Colonel Jr. and I are going to the Orange
Bowl, so we will be reporting from
there.
