And no matter what anyone has ever said...size does matter.

You must not be a small guy, you will never know what it takes to be an athlete that is smaller than most. It takes twice the work and twice the heart. I guess you have never seen Maurice Jones-Drew or Darren Sprowles, both are 5'6. they both must be terrible players because they are small right. I mean thats your logic, size is everything.

I love watching that kid play! But I have to agree with you as well.

Hey, has anyone ever seen that 5-5 runningback for LSU. I think his name is Trindon Holliday. man, he is way to small to play d-1 football. I w

^ In 2006 Trinity gave up 212 points... as I said, FOR TRINITY that is a lot of points. Only in 1995 and 1998 did T's D give up more points (213 both years). Of course in 2006 when they were busy scoring 633 pts one really didn't notice the 212. P.S. WELCOME ROCKWATCHER!

You are right that is a lot of points for Trinity,but I wonder how many were scored on the 2nd,3rd,strings? I believe the first string was only scored on a few times.I think it's great that Coach Bean puts in the younger guys to get them ready for next year. Also I think some points were scored on the special teams

Defense looks solid and big up front and in the middle. I'm not sure who is back as dbs. Little Bobby will be missed. O-line has some good returning talent but replacing the center will be hard (wink-wink). If the qb can throw it there are several targets to catch it. Not sure who the rbs will be behind Tim..but he looks pretty good. Will must stay healthy. Place kicking will be good, punting probably not as good as last year, but that is understandable. You wouldn't think it, but (for Trinity) the defense actually gave up a lot of points last year. I think that will improve. On the other hand the offense has averaged 40+ pts per game. I don't think we will see that this year with the schedule at hand.

I agree with you about Trinity's team reloading and last years team being good...however, I would like to know when the Defense gave up "a lot" of points?
