Congratulations on a winning season and looking forward to our match up in the Bahamas. I expect a fairly good contingent of Niners will be there. The story of our team this year is pretty cool. First year head coach Will Healy has us humming through a five game winning streak. Didn't look so pretty in October, though. We were 2-5, having lost 4 straight, and most of CFB left us for dead. The staff got the players to turn it on though, and we came back from 3 scores down in the North Texas game to win on a hail mary TD catch. Since then, we've been rolling, and having more fun than any other program in the country along the way. Our staff turns our locker room into Club Lit after every win, and the players play for that chance to get wild. Multiple commitments from recruits have happened there this year. Our scouting report is as follows: Chris Reynolds, QB (R. Soph.) - dual threat. decent, but not spectacular arm, pretty accurate. Good WR corps to throw to. Victor Tucker is our standout WR. Spread RPO offense. Benny LeMay, RB (R. Sr) / Aaron McAllister (Jr) and Ishod Finger (Fr). in relief. LeMay is an all conference tailback, emotional leader, and force of nature. Went for over 1000 this year even missing 3 games with a foot injury. McA and Finger did well handling the load in his absence and have great attributes in their own right. Defense 4-2-5. Edge rusher and human bulldozer, Alex Highsmith is second in the nation in sacks with 14.5, including 4.5 yesterday against ODU. Projected 2d or 3d round draft pick. Double him all you want, good luck. Nafees Lyon and Jacione Fugate are our floating DBs, Lyon is great in coverage, Fugate is good for some big blow up hits every game but often overplays the big hit and gets embarrassed, too. He's feast or famine. Jeff Gemmell is our star LB, has fought injuries this year, but has great hands and lateral quickness. Often use him to spy the QB. We have some issues tackling and have given up some big plays this year because of it. Especially on ST and early in games when we can't quite settle in. Defense has been markedly better in the second half every game. Our offense will spread it around, Reynolds is sneaky athletic and will gash you on the RPO if your LBs bite too hard on the fakes. We're still learning how to win and finish games but we are getting there quickly. I have a feeling this will be a very competitive match up.
