Spot shadow day

Everyone wants to talk bout Scheelhaase's progression as a passer and the expansion of the passing attack for his sophomore year, but as I watched Allen and Pocic and Cornell make fools of the second string defensive line, I realized that even with Feed5 gone, we're still that twin tight ends and a fullback punching you in the mouth offense. And Nathan Scheelhaase will still be that run before pass QB, at least for next year. Yes, I expect the passing numbers to improve, but don't expect us to come out 4-wide in the first series against Arkansas State. We will punch you in the mouth, and we will keep punching you in the mouth, Wrigley Field-style, until you roll over and cry uncle like Northwestern. That's our offense. That's our identity.
