    Nothing to add on the defense. The players change, but the outcome stays the same. _
    Ugh!

    I just relived the sky kick (after going up 17-10) that gave Ohio the ball at the UL 41

    Reminds me of the City Bar billboard I saw a couple weeks ago on the corner of Johnston and Jefferson. If you look hard, you can see a small line in the lower left corner, written in red on a dark background, that says "We support UL(L)". I also saw the same thing last year written on Doug Ashy's sign on Johnston St, and somewhere else that I can't recall right now. Made me think the same thing as you, Turbine.

    Both should get a little better next year by default. I heard RB say on the Coach's Show last night that Fouquier is not only the DC, but also the KO team coach. It makes plenty of sense that if you have no ST Coordinator, that the DC would be the KO team coach. It also makes plenty of sense that if you can't come up with a way to stop an offense, you also won't be able to come up with a way to stop a return. All isn't on him, though...I think R-Bust still coaches the Kickers.

    We need to span the globe for anybody who can kick it to the end zone consistently. We have junior high leg strength on kickoffs. Pitiful.

    Next on the punch list is to properly relate the sorry, sorry state of affairs on the defensive side of the ball to the next DC.

    Until those 2 issues are resolved, we could have The Ultra-Leach Turbo Injection Blitzkrieg offense, and it won't matter. _
    I thought we recruited a local kid last year that kicked every one of his HS kicks out of the endzone. Only problem is he is out for the year with a knee injury (how does a kicker injure his knee?). Does anyone know if he will be able to kick next year? It seems like EVERY position on this team has had a serious injury this year, even the kicker. I understand knee injuries are what they are, but the other injuries are questionable. Is it poor conditioning, poor training, poor ???, or just plain bad luck for an already seemingly unlucky team.

    That they know nothing about UL is a sad statement on UL and not necessarily on the sponsor.

    Hunter Stover (Notre Dame grad) tore his ACL during a defensive drill. Stover was struggling to find the same success on kickoffs that he had in high school prior to getting hurt.

    I've been told by multiple sources that some of the muscle sprains and strains suffered by all of the student-athletes have had something to do with improper lifting technique and not enough stretching.

    True Dat.

    Still the media should never let their customer get caught in a lie. Certainly not an easy to catch, easy to fix one.

    In addition to kicking, Stover was a good linebacker in high school and planned to play that position in college as well as kick. His injury occurred early in camp. I had heard a staph infection developed during his rehab and I hope that has improved. I have not heard an update on that situation.

    Regarding lifting techniques and strectching, if that has been a problem in the past I hope the new strength and conditioning coach addresses the issue.

    The sheer number of injuries in the last couple of years has to be the result of something were doing or not doing in the weight room and in agility and flexibility training. Everyone has injuries, but the rate at which we go down is nuts. I also think that the turf has some impact, but everyone plays the majority of their games on turf these days.
