I’ve had one of those FB weekends where I feel like it is all about to shift into focus. I’m watching the wide and tactical of Mountain Pointe HS, getting a sense of what my boy is up against in the annual Tukee bowl. It is what we’ve seen before in terms of offenses. There are not a ton of real wrinkles between many of the schools. It is often about individual talent and execution at this level. What I am seeing from the talent perspective isn’t worrying me terribly much. I see a QB who wants to throw downfield and make splash plays. I see a WR core built off a certain amount of speed and quickness off the line expecting to have time to win the route thanks to a stout o-line and a legit run game. I see a challenge, but nothing this DV squad cannot handle. It will come down to not making big mistakes and staying on those speedy Wrs.
The college situation is different. The kid is going up against a Pac 12 team at their house with 30K rocking the rafters. It is going to be a system shock, but I believe in him and his discipline. He has to get into position faster. He has to get rid of the jitters he showed week one, and once he does, he is going to make a real statement out there. I don’t know that the offense is ready to win this game, but I know the defense isn’t trying to lose it.
