Williams played a lot last season.  Our running game was pretty good I'd say 😀

Bob, it seemed to me that last year we ran a lot more plays without a fullback on the field than "usual"? I don't have a statistic to prove it, it just seemed that way. It could have been by free choice (scheme), or it could have been that we were thin at the position with Marx out, or I could just be wrong. What is your impression?

Speights looked great. Not just his long TD run but dragging tacklers including one play dragging Phillips for several yards. 

Toohill looked very good.  As did Cotton which we need.
To be in site eyes the D was much better than the O.

I worry a bit about the D being better than the O. Last year, it was similar. I sort of blamed it on Thomas being so good that he disrupted everything, and there is no doubt we have a good defense this year as well, especially if we are getting the D line shored up. However, last season showed that it wasn't all just good defense. I think the real question is what is the O line going to be this year? It looks like we have some very promising running backs, (including Scarlett, which some did not expect). However, without significant line improvement, we won't be in any better shape. From what I can tell, until Herbig came in, the line didn't play well at all. If so, that is worrying.
