Football Spring Thoughts

First and foremost the Chucky Mullins Courage award went to the very deserving Jeremy Garrett from Senatobia Mississippi. This is the first year the award went to a defensive player as opposed to a "defensive back". (The back seven was considered backs.)

The rest of my news came predominately from a Mon Calimari informant I had since I could unfortunately not attend the spring game. First Seth Adams is set to be the Rebels starting quarterback next fall. That's a scary thought no offense to Seth. But you hate to hear a guy who walked on from junior college is going to start at quarterback. This says even more about Brent Schaeffer than it does anything else. Well other than that Cliff Davis is not the savior we thought he might be since he quit the team after they wouldn't put him in.
According to the stats our leading receiver in the spring game was Josh Zettergren. I'd love to give you a picture but he doesn't even have a bio pick on the official site. Cordera Eason also had a big game. Glad he got to spend his freshman year on special teams. Well that and the whopping experience he got from getting 16 yards on 7 carries.

So I wouldn't expect much out of the Rebel offense with our without Schaeffer next season. The problem is at best that means our offense is just as bad as it was last year. On the other had we loose to 15 pick Patrick Willis from our defense. I for one think loosing him will be like loosing Eli from our offense in 2004. In other words be prepared for a long season that could be potentially the worst yet. Well unless Ogerzook can coach them up. Which the national media thinks his ability to do so is doubtful.
