EJ is pretty damn talented, and he now has an opportunity. 

Seeing will be believing, but there's some serious potential there.

I truly want him to have a great season. Dude's been through the injury gauntlet.

Interview with Bryant Haines during Spring ball.

Super interesting to me after watching media days with Roman Hemby and Lee Bebee Jr. today:

Both are 220 lb backs, and when asked about their best skill, they both cited the same thing; and it’s a thing that we didn’t see from the RBs last year: pass catching out of the backfield.

Hemby had 10 more catches than our whole RB room last year. Beebe, the slacker, only matched our room with 30.

Ellison and Lawton were incredibly good blocking backs and damn effective runners, though without big play ability.

These two guys are advertised as having a different talent level.

Yeah, on paper, IUFB upgraded in multiple spots at multiple positions. That really doesn't mean much though. I think the Illinois game will let us know.

Beat Illinois and we are on our way to another outstanding season. My main concern is an injury to one of our key players. Overall, I think this team can be better than last years. Doesn't mean a better record though.

I'm confident we're on our way to outstanding seasons. We ain't the door mat anymore and this season will shut up all the Herbstreits. Coaching matters.

Completely agree.

I believe our talent and playmaking ability has increased, and Kamara, Fisher, and Ponds anchoring the three defensive tiers is a massive advantage.

...LOL!!! Coach was talking about sending a message to the team during practice of their poor play..... Someone asked him about that message.

 He was trying to  say he barked quite a bit with some strong, adult "R" rated words, to get the point across, but he actually said, "Let's put it this way it was X Rated! lol.....

Did anyone catch that from this clip? lol

Puts pressure on Lawrence and Leibfried to be serviceable two's this year, I'd rather not push Benson outside.
