In the scrimmage yesterday, we ran eighty-something plays in forty-something minutes... very fast tempo designed to wear down the opponent.
Ensminger was named starter b/c: more upside, team seems to respond to him better, he needs some time adjusting to the responsibilities of being the guy (snaps, media, team chemistry)
How our talent compares to PAC-10: difference in terms of depth on off/def lines; qb is about the same; lb is about the same; rb is about the same; db is the same or better; wr is probably the most talented group he's ever coached.
We needed to sign a number of jucos in order to even out the class--he feels like we hit on all of those guys. the wr will probably be the most productive on the team
He is very impressed with the defensive line--as a unit they have stepped up. Every one of those guys is in a fight to keep a starting job--that includes established starters like Cole, Vic, and Carter.
Both McGill and Harmon will have a chance to play at the next level.
