Success goes beyond the playing field. Just found out our 2017 Football Team had the Second Highest GPA in CUSA. #WTD

Noble deserves more carries. Hope he doesn't get lost in the depth chart again. I think we're loaded with the new recruits coming in.

I like moving Donnie Lee to TE. He's too valuable to get lost in the running backs depth chart.

I think we need to get a little more creative with Noble. He’s one of those guys you just want to see get the ball in his hands with some space to work with.

Agreed. If we aren't going to get Lee the ball, TE is a great fit for him.

Or even let him play Linebacker or hybrid Rush End. His size and speed would make him a terror anywhere on the field.

I thought he would be a natural at the HB/TE hybrid spot

He is. He has real good hands & speed.

We also need bodies at TE because of the guys still rehabbing. I have no doubt he can excel at that position. He just needs to keep his body right so little nagging injuries don't sneak up on him again. I like how so many of our players can play multiple positions.

Spring practice is important because about 90% of the 22 starters in August/September will be on the field in April. New guys coming in new for fall drills have a chance to play, but are not likely to start.

Would to see Nat Curtis back on the OL, and maybe Haden at RB. Along with Copeland at QB, they wouldn't have to start would be nice for depth purposes.
