Coach seemed pretty excited about some of the young guys on facebook live yesterday! I really liked his comments about Will Jones. The Jones kid is for real & he just needs playing time to prove it. The Offensive Line appears to be the heart & soul of the 2018 Team. I hope they have depth. Looks like the offense should be able to put points on the board & the defense will be the main issue again this fall. I also think the A J Curry kid is another QB to keep a eye on. It would be very interesting to see T Adams in the slot position & Will Jones in the QB Position. I just think Jones is a more accurate passer & Adams would be a major problem for defenses to handle in the slot position because of his running ability & the threat of passing in that position. With a suspect defense, I hope the offensive scheme would be centered around time possession to keep our defense off the field. Please stop suggesting anyone but Tyrie should be our starting QB. He is on the Walter Payton Award Watch list. He has more than proven that he deserves our support as our QB.

Wore out phrase but always true. Defense wins championships. I'm excited to see what our defense can do. I saw a lot of big hits at the scrimmage.

Tyrie is the QB. Unless injured or boat racing someone will be taking the snaps. One thing I’ve learned over my 5 years Fans on here tend to lean towards the North Carolina boys lol. If I was totally biased against out of state players, I would not be pulling for your son. I think your boy is one of the best offensive lineman in WCU History. Adams is an outstanding QB & has done well for WCU. He is the starting QB but Jones looked very good to me during Spring Practice. It was great to hear Coach Speir acknowledge that fact during his interview.

I really liked Coach Speir's comments about potential contributions defensively by true freshmen. Nice they are good enough that he would mention some by name. I notice some of those DL in the film we see about our practices and they appear to be mixed in with some defensive starters in some cases. My opinion is we have to have major contributions by some true freshmen on defense.

Jim64 I know you pull for all on the team. It’s discussed by Dads around the field more so then here. Tyrie is a special player imho. We need to find some special players on D. I’m looking forward to this Saturday’s scrimmage.

The Cats have some big Freshman Defensive Lineman on the team this year. Do you think Coach Speir will redshirt or play them this season. Like you, I hope this Football Season will be a year to remember just like the 1983 Season. Enjoy every minute your son is playing for the Catamounts because I certainly will.

Jim he is going to play them as long as they are healthy. One has a torn pec. You sir are a true fan of this University and your love of the team and it’s players is awesome. I’m going to enjoy every minute of this season. Hope and pray we can taste the playoffs. Knocking off my hometown team of Youngstown St on our way to a championship would be my dream season.

Anyone noticed the updated pre-season roster (Aug. 15th)? Just wondering if the heights and weight of team have been quite elevated since last roster posted. If accurate, we might be the biggest team in USA. Dosen't seem right.
