Just a head's up, spring practice starts 4/3.

I was looking at Mannion's line. Pretty impressive (sans the turnovers) for a freshman.

Here's an interview where he discusses improving his game: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L3Dc89rGdNQ

And here Markus Wheaton mentions he added 10lbs: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eWDggQL2yEU

Some of these freshman lineman will make a push…this offense could be potent. Guys I really like are Grant Bays (C), Seumalo (OG), Gavin Andrews (OG), and Garrett Weinrich (OT). Caleb Smith should start at TE–this seems like a no-brainer. I'd love to see a Patriot style dual TE attack with Smith and Stanton (or Perry). It'll be interesting to see how spring pans out because the aforementioned may be better than the incumbents. Something else to watch is if Seumalo switches to defensive tackle. I hear he's open to the idea.

Since I will not be up before 10am, I'm making a game thread tonight.

Beavs start playing real teams after this, but they also return home. Let's face it, over two weeks on the road is a tough trip to open the season, even if the teams are bad. We should withhold judgment until they get some rest, play home games, and play real competition. They've been bad, but they might be wiped.
