There is no factual nor scientific evidence to support this but I heartfully believe our increased hitting and live tackling in practice is worth two more wins this year.
Of course I’ve also said our easier schedule is worth two more wins, reducing our turnovers is worth two more wins, better offensive line play is worth two more wins and better game day management is worth two more wins. Either I’m really wrong or we are going 12-0. :cool:

Given the number of one score losses over the entirety of the Frost regime that could have been wins if not for a couple of bad luck plays/botched plays/stupid penalties, it’s not kooky to think a more sound style of play will equal more wins.

It seems we're pretty healthy (knock on wood). We have some people dinged up but we've lost more key players to mental issues than injury it seems.

Coach Rhule Press Conference Notes (08/29/2023) -Not prepared to speak on Arik Gilbert, Coach Rhule just received phone call. Trev will have more to say -True freshman Tristan Alvano is the starting kicker -Teddy Prochazka and Marcus Washington are both ready to play -Janiran Bonner can be a hybrid tight end if needed, as well as Jake Appleget -Certain O-Lineman have practiced at tight end for bigger sets -Not fair catching ANY kickoff returns, coach isn't a fan of that -Emmett Johnson has made a "quantum" leap, noticed explosiveness in a slam dunk contest -Coach Rhule is a big fan of Rahmir Johnson, wants him in the game A LOT -Blackshirts and single-digits will be heavily used on special teams -Kicking spot was one of the hardest competitions this camp -Most road games the team will see a movie -Blackshirts are meant to be vicious, they have to uphold that standard -Want to be the best team at the end, not the start #GBR

"Not fair catching ANY kickoff returns, coach isn't a fan of that"

Excellent.

Either fair catch all of them or none of them. Hesitation and confusion create penalties, unfielded / dropped balls, and kick returners getting lit up.

What an honor for Alvano to become the kicker. Knew he had a shot in the playoff game last year. Hope he is nails for us like so many have been in the past
