Sorry...stats not clear re the kick ...hard to believe they would have deliberately considered it...
We know about the attendance issue as we have the same.....there is game in Fayetteville this Sat so some number will go there instead of Conway....then there's deer season.....
What new QB will appear Sat not in the stats so far?
Coach Wells opened up our mid-week luncheon with, "Before anyone ask, NO it was NOT an onside kick attempt" then went on to explain. Hopefully the only QB you will see is #18 Parker Mckinney. I think he was injured early against you guys last year in Richmond. He has been pretty good for us so far. His back up is Cord Sandberg, a RS Soph transfer from Auburn. Pretty good also. Strong armed lefty.
Great backstory on Cord. He is 26 or 27 yeas old. Played six seasons in the Philadelphia Phillies minor league system as an outfielder before enrolling at Auburn posting a .243 career batting average … 2015 minor league Gold Glove winner … he was a third-round pick of the Phillies in the 2013 draft out of Manatee (Fla.) High School. Behind Cord is either A transfer from Concord University or one of two Freshmen. The kid that threw the late touchdown against you guys in Richmond last year, #13 Dakota Allen is now our #1 TE and having a great year. Dakota started several games at QB during his
RS Freshman and Freshman years. He was just too good of an athlete not to have on the field. Just a great kid, unbelievable competitor. The move was at his request.
Our D has been pretty strong this year considering we lost both starting safeties to injury early on. Been playing mix and match with the corners to fill the gap. Getting better there every week. A totally new and very young WR corps are finally starting to get in sync. We had a really good week of practice and I like my team this week. I promise our kids fully understand the challenge presented by a vey talented UCA team. Coming out of Conway with a win will be monumental task. I am really looking forward to this one. Should be a real head knocker with the team making the least mistake getting the win. That is my opinion anyway, for what that is worth. Good Luck to you guys
