Summary

The whole gang is back and it's time to really dive into what is working and what isn't on defense. We all know there are issues with tackling. We know there are some coverage issues. After studying the game and looking at some key numbers, what issues really stick out? Can the run game be better? Will the offensive line get better now that Creed Humphrey has been named the starter at center? Army comes to town and that's always a delicate situation from a P.R. standpoint. We love our men and women serving in the armed forces, but it makes for a weird week of preparation for a football team that wants to show plenty of respect yet still prepare to dominate an opponent. Tim Kish talks about his eight years coaching at Army and what to expect from this collection of pretty remarkable young men. Basketball recruiting is heating up and Bob Przybylo has the breakdown. Josh updates us on the latest recruiting news as well. The full rundown follows below: OPEN - Is our opening too aggressive? Is it disrespectful?
