per BTN:
Q: What are your early impressions of spring football?
A: It has been good. There always is a little bit of a learning curve. For the most part, I have been pleased with how the guys have adapted. A lot of us in the football world do a lot of the same things, but we call it different stuff. I think we have some guys who have the ability to make some plays. That has been encouraging.
Q: How would you describe the style you are bringing to the school?
A: I hope we can be balanced, multiple yet simple. I want to be able to run it and throw it. We are trying to mesh all of that together, starting with the run game and what we need to do. We emphasize that with our guys and carry that over to the throw game. We will try to create some scoring opportunities for us.
Q: Have any players stood out?
A: I really like our young running backs. I think Shannon Brooks and Rodney Smith are two really good, young talented guys. I have been very pleased with what they have done. I think we have some receivers who have done some real positive things. Rashad Still has really started to come on. I like some of the things he has done. Plus you have some other guys who have had some playing time who are showing signs of doing some positive things. Our tight ends have been good and are important to what we do. Brandon Lingen is a very good football player. Him and Nate Wozniak, Colton Beebe who was redshirted is an up-and-comer. I am excited about those guys. Mitch (Leidner) has started to do some things for us which is good coming off getting his foot fixed. Demry Croft and Seth Green are getting a bunch of reps. Conor Rhoda has come on and been solid. I like the future at that quarterback spot.
