One I know about is Kyle Brown, an All-Ivy O-line from Dartmouth. He was also All-New England by the New England Football Writers. He is a large lad headed for Isenberg.

Re: 2025 Season
I talked to a friend of mine who went to the game and he was very impressed with what he saw.

Re: 2025 Season
Yup this is great - at team that is someplace between 127 and 131 in most rankings looked "decent" playing against itself. Whoopeee.
To keep things in context, I think it would be safe reserve all judgement until they strap it on against another FBS team.
3.5 is the over/under win total for me. That gives these guy at least 2 FBS wins in the same season, a feat not accomplished in some time.

Re: 2025 Season
There was no way to tell how good they will be. The biggest difference was the flow of the game. Guys were running from play to play.. didn't look like there was a lot of confusion when lining up.. the Dline didn't try to sub every play. No real dumb mistakes. It's just looked overall better. Unlike the last few years I don't think this team will lose a game because they do something stupid.. they will lose because the other team is better. That can work the other way around too by taking advantage of other teams mistakes.
Re: 2025 Season
We will have a better kicking game!!

Re: 2025 Season
One thing to keep in mind when they posted the rushing yards and receiving yards is that this was touch football. I think all of the yardage numbers would have been higher if players had to be tackled. On the other hand, maybe there would have been some fumbles.

Re: 2025 Season
This s description is eerily similar to the change from Molnar to Whipple. Walt Bell called so many pre game timeouts it was hard to see how chaotic Brown’s tenure was. The constant inability to get guys lined up drove me nuts under Brown. Trying to sub every defensive play to get the right match ups showed how one dimensional all the players were. I really hope the ability to line up and be there translates to real games.TheInsider wrote: Mon Apr 21, 2025 10:38 am There was no way to tell how good they will be.

Re: 2025 Season
Looks like the difficult decisions have started as Galban hits the portal.
Re: 2025 Season
^ It appears that Galban graduated high school in Texas in 2018! If correct, the 2025 season would be his eighth year of college ball. Does the NCAA have a retirement plan?

Be proud of the present and look to the future.
Re: 2025 Season
I'm thinking Galban's looking to negotiate a retirement plan wherever he signs.
