OOC, is pretty much too. @Texas, Home against Army and Houston Baptist and NMSU. Schedule with 7 home games sets up well. With everyone back and barring no injuries I'd be surprised if we don't win 8/9 games. I'm shocked I'm saying that, but I was left with hope after how they fought this year and this whole team returns and players who were hurt. We do need to rebuild D line though
Very true and thanks for finding that article. I had assumed that it would change a bit since this will be the 3rd year in a row for ODU. UAB screwed up the scheduling for a while. The toughest conference game will likely be USM but at least it will be a home game. Now I'm looking forward to seeing who the new coordinators will be so that we can get an idea of what changes there will be in off/def schemes. Shapes up to be a good season with a solid shot a going bowling and having much better attendance. Hoping so anyway.
Any new offensive Coordinator will be an improvement. Defense will take adjustment. You see it all the time though Offensive and Defensive coordinators coming in and making a huge difference. The players are in place already barring no further injuries. QB play was bad this year, how can it get worse with either a new experienced transfer or QBS who will have more experience than this year?
Nickel isn't a Defensive scheme like a 3-4,4-3, 3-3-5 or 4-2-5, it's simply a defensive package put in for passing downs. Just thought I'd clarify. So getting a DB who plays in nickel packages means nothing as to what type of core defense we'll be running necessary year.
It'll was made to sound that he's recruiting DB's to play the nickel only, which I didn't think made since. There was another post that also implied this, so I was just clarifying, that still doesn't tell us what type of defense Kugler wants to go with next year.
