I can always use help on the sideline (not getting any younger either).  

What a great opportunity for someone to give back to their community. 

Bump.

How was the scrimmage against Lloyd?

Holy Cross did very well in last night's scrimmage against Grant County, Goshen (OH) and Lloyd.  The Indians are well ahead with their progress from this time last year.  In my opinion, HC was clearly superior to Grant County and I felt that HC "held their own" against the other two schools.  Of course, measurement with scoring was difficult in this format (sets of 10 plays).  Two "games" were in progress at the same time on opposite ends of the field.  Initially, after each play (good or bad), the line of scrimmage was always returned to the 30 yard line of the opponent.  There was a rotation so that each school played each of the other teams (it was a long night).  The night ended with Lloyd playing Goshen (OH) in one offensive series each over the full field starting at their own 30.  HC played Grant County in the same way afterwards.  The last play of the Indians' series (and the night) was a long TD pass play from Brian Ferguson to Xavier Thornberry.

Final thoughts on the Indians.  Lots of things to work on.  They currently only have 26 players, but there is size, speed and talent.  Depth? - well, we will have to cross our fingers on that one.  I like some of the new players (for example, Charles Oglesby).  The returning players are older, more mature and showing improvement.  The emphasis in the weight room is showing.  There has been a point to show poise and keep control of one's emotions while still having an edge (it's football after all)!  Of course, we are all expecting big numbers from Max Hunt this year.  He definitely did whatever he wanted last night on both sides of the ball with multiple TD catches at TE and knock downed passes at DE.

I heard Holy Cross actually beat up on Lloyd pretty good. Ran the ball down Lloyds throat on the first play of 10 for a long TD. Hunt bullying everyone on the field making plays all over the place. Depth would definitely be a place of concern.

I also thought that the biggs up front set the tone, big guys don't get enough credit.
