ON DOING ROTATING AT THE OFFENSIVE LINE
  • "We try to do that some, for sure."
  • Day mentions it's a little harder to do with the offensive line due to rhythm.
  • "But we love to play depth, so we do it."
  • "We don't like to interrupt that, because there's a flow, for sure."

Bucks win Saturday. Biggest question for me is Day going to run scared and pull his starters early or is he going to play his starters enough to get ready to go 60 min in the CFP. It’s a short schedule the starters didn’t work their ass of to play half a game.

A bridge to cross when we come to it. But my feeling, based on absolutely nothing, is we get 3 quarters minimum. Gotta get the rust off, gotta get ready for Penn State, and get as much time as you can in a shortened season.

Yeah at the minimum we will see everyone until after the first drives of the 3rd.

Also huge that we get Vincent and Haskell from day 1. Enormous and I cant say that enough.

My nervousness about defending the run now is much better.
