University President Dr. Mazey Addresses Season Ticket holders

My free orange lightbulb at work

Some photos from today's event...there was a lot to see at today's scrimmage, so my thoughts are mixed with the comments Coach Clawson made at the post-game presser and his comments to season ticket holders.

The thing I was most impressed by was the offense.  There were a ton of plays made...Levy and Coppet in particular.  There were some big plays by the WRs....Coach said that our guys "made people miss."  Hard to argue with it.  There were just a number of dynamic plays on the offense, and that is very encouraging given what we know the team needs to be successful this year.

QB?  Honestly, I was very surprised at how far Johnson has come.  I thought he made the better throws during the scrimmage today.  He looked confident in the pocket and plus, with his helmet off he looks like a pirate.  Always a plus.

Schilz looked good/OK, but missed some throws.  I can see where this is a tough decision.

Coach says we will know Tuesday.  He said it will be a long 36 hours between now and then.  He also said that "one guy is clearly playing better and one guy is pushing him."  You can figure out what that means.  Well, you probably can't.  I can't.

He even suggested we might use two QBs (easy soldier!)

I have said that I couldn't see BG getting this far to have a senior dominated team and then putting in an untested QB.  I can see it more after the scrimmage.  Johnson was really effective and he was with the 2nd team O.

The bad news that emerged was the news of an injury to Darrell Hunter. He has a wrist injury and appears to be doubtful to play this season.  That's a big loss if that is how it plays out.  He made 12 starts last year and was expected to start that much again this year.  And, it makes the whole DeVon McKoy thing really tough...he leaves just when there was time available.

Coach says we need a "pair and a spare" and that we still have depth at CB, just not quite what we had expected.  They have moved Brian Sutton moved to CB to assist with depth.

Something needs to be said about Fred Coppet.  This guy has special skills.  Coach says he has a gear that Coach has personally never experienced and that statement encompasses Brian Westbrook and Tim Hightower.  He had a KOR for a TD and he just blew by guys.  This is a guy to watch.

Ronnie Moore got the ball a lot and made plays, as did Marcus Levy, both true FR who you would expect to not redshirt.  Coach says that we want to redshirt guys, but it may not be possible with those two guys.

Chris Gallon had a big day.  Coach said that battling Cam Truss in practice everyday has been good for Gallon.  He got smoked a little a couple days ago and came out with something to prove today and really performed.  His goal is to bring that 12 times this year.

We have talked about William Houston, the RB we recruited, who tried to walk on at OSU and now is at BGSU.  He got a ton of reps in the scrimmage, especially in short yardage.  Coach said there is no official word that he will be eligible, but the indications are he will and that's why he got the carries he did today.

That's the news, more or less.  Even with the Hunter injury, BG has not had many serious injuries during camp.  (Hopgood and Will Watson were held out today purely as precautions).

So that's the story.  Offense had a good day and there are good reasons to be optimistic.
