He dressed out last Friday night at Gardner Webb... also, Speir said last week in his televised interview that he was back... I sure hope so because the young man is a player... another one that has not dressed out this year is Holden Edwards (# 98)… he played a lot last year and had a great "motor"

Maybe they are easing him back in?
I thought I saw edwards listed #2 behind clark at nose on one of the weekly depth charts. I've wondered about him as well.
Both are a hit to our experience on an already young D.

Did any of you guys watch any of the ETSU/VMI game? It seems to me that was close because of all the mistakes by both teams (10 combined turnovers with 6 by VMI). I know the Keydets threw for over 300 yards, but they were less than 50% (27-61) and totally abandoned the run gaining -15 yards (that is NEGATIVE fifteen). It appears their offense is built on throwing the ball up in the air and hoping their guy can fight for it (or the secondary breaks down) or hope that they get an interference call. ETSU on the other hand decided for some reason that they should try and throw the ball 36 times instead of running it. Their QB had a really bad day (15-36 and 3 INTs of his own), and the Bucs should have just tried to run the football.
I know VMI seems to play WCU closer than expected for whatever reason. But in my opinion we should just blitz the crap out of them (getting after the QB hasn't been too bad - containing them was in the Newberry game), and we should run the ball 50 or 60 times to try and do what Wofford did. If the offense plays well and we don't try and get cute, I could honestly see Tyrie and 2 RBs getting 100 yards rushing each.
The spread is 24+ for a reason, and if WCU isn't already worrying about the next 2 games my attitude has changed and we should win this going away.
But just like Newberry, we gotta show up and play!
