It's Willie's World....

He just lets us live here. Ryan from the Blade (I would use his last name, but I don't feel like typing it--too many frickin vowels), is back, this time with a story on true Fr. wunderkind Willie Geter, who is drawing comparisons (from our coach) to Garret Wolfe. He was all-Florida 1st team but was recruited only by us, Akron and South Florida due to size. Get this anecdote from his HS Coach:

"I put Willie on a little sweep and he cut it outside and then he cut it back in," Zaccheo said. "The safety [highly ranked nationally] looked at Willie and kind of licked his chops, and Willie proceeded to plant that kid in the ground and leave cleat marks on his chest."

Nice. Like to hear that. As we had heard through the grapevine, Willie passed Bullock and Ransom to the starting position. I also hear he can play slot, much as PJ Pope did, providing a strong disincentive not to blitz your LBs, lest you get a quick elusive back running around in your spread out secondary.

Finally, Ryan says Coach will name the starting QB early next week, but that Sheehan takes first team snaps most of the time. This is a topic for another day, but I just think that Coach prefers a throwing QB over a running QB. Let's just hope he can move the team.
