“One thing I learned from last year,” Brian Kelly said, “is that we can’t have a mismatch at certain positions. Last year we had a freshman left tackle going against Trevor Anderson. We just couldn’t get the ball off. What that does is it breaks down the other 10 guys you’re trying to evaluate.

“So we’ve balanced the teams up to where we think we’ve got fair matchups on both sides of the ball. At the end of the day, it’s probably close to the one offense and the two offense and a balance on defense so we don’t have those mismatches.”

So which team is Demetrius Jones really on? I'm guessing the black team since all they have otherwise is Pike and Collaros, who is listed as WR.

Zach is listed as a QB on gobearcats. I think that the fact "W" is next to "Q" on the keyboard contributed to that mixup.

PS: unless my rain dance produces a real soaking thunderstorm this afternoon, I have to miss the game tonight because of Little League.

HBO (Hook a Brotha Up) and post bunches of pics. \

Best regards.

Collaros is playing the game as a QB.

According the this interview on gobearcats.com BK says Demetrius will be getting plenty of snaps.

Ahh ok... That makes sense.

It's a gorgeous day. Temps reasonable again. 66 expected at gametime.
