What's wrong with Jacob Hood? Yes it's going to take time for him to develop but I think he will eventually be a starter. May not be this season but I look forward to seeing him on the field next season. His upside his there and the experience of going up against guys in practice at Georgia can only help.
He has a weight management problem. It will be very telling how he has come back this summer how serious he is about playing.
Rhule wants to develop this team through 4 year guys not portal players. We already took a lot pre spring and the portal this cycle was not near as deep as everyone thought either.
That's what I figured but the team didn't look all that impressive during the spring game.
From what I heard all he has done since having his weight higher at Georgia is continually losing weight. Heard he started at 360 pounds and has continued to lose it off.
You continue to beat the Jacob Hood drum? I am not saying he won't ever be good at NU, but you still seem upset that the coaches aren't counting on him to play in 2023.
NU was 4-8 last season. Were you expecting the team to suddenly look impressive after 14 Spring practices?
We would usually have like 10 practices before our first game and at the freshmen level those 10 practices were probably more like 5 practices.
I think that makes sense given the past record of the team and overall talent. You get 6 wins this year and you did fine.
I am consistently amazed when people continually say "we aren't that bad" when the program has averaged 4 wins over the past 6 years. The team has been very, very, very bad.
My expectation for the spring game was that the Red's or White offense would generate more points then 21 or 7. Yes I understand HC Matt Rhule wants to develop guys and that is a key to getting better but also the talent level of the team is just as important.
The silver lining is that the Big Ten West is bad with horrible offenses which means (most of the time) a lot of close games with a chance to win.
No not at all. I would say the defense is ahead of the offense just felt the offense would generate more points.
If the only offense you saw all spring was the one you are going to face I would expect the offense to not perform well against the defense
