A Sea Of Red

The spring roster has been updated with just a few surprises

https://www.aseaofred.com/liberty-sprin ... surprises/

After looking at the whole roster, I think we are set at WR and OL for a while. I feel a lot better about the CB and S positions. DL, we are probably OK, but soon we will need more DT's. LB is obviously a need for a thumping MLB. RB depth is poor. We have 7 RB's, but one is a converted WR. Mack and Pickett leave after this year. Quarterback, you have to like the numbers...

What happened to Espinoza ?

Charles and perkins are going to be tackles.

Spring practice schedule announced

https://www.aseaofred.com/spring-practi ... announced/

Is there any word yet on a radio broadcast or live stream of the spring game?

As we are now a week away from Spring Practice take a look at a few position changes on the roster:

- Micahiah Overton (3 star TE) has been moved to the DL, at 6'4 225 he could turn into a rangy pass rusher. He did play DE in HS as well.

- Frank Boyd(former RB turned CB turned back into RB) has been moved back to CB.

So that bumps us up to 41 dbs now. Just kidding

Not sure if that is correct on Boyd. I don't think they ever changed it on the roster when he moved back to RB. Overton to defense is a bit of a surprise since he said when he signed that one of the main reasons he chose Liberty was the way HF utilized his TEs. He may not be happy about the change, but HF is a pretty persuasive guy.

Our projected pre-spring practice depth chart as practice gets underway Friday

We are in trouble if J Mack remains our top RB. He follows his blockers extremely well, but is not enough of a slash runner, IMHO. Who knows, another year of experience, may make much better. Hope so.

Pff had a graphic a month or so ago that mack was one of the top 4 returning graded backs in the entire nation.

Landon Brown's gone isn't he?

Not sure that graded is the same as good performing. He certainly wasn't the 4th best back in the country. My comments were made based on watching every game and my opinion, which may not be worth much. I trust the coaches on what they do. He wasn't used as much as our other back, so I suspect there was a reason for that. We will see how it goes next year. I am hoping he does great and that I am wrong in my speculation.

I am hoping that shedro louis and troy henderson give us that change of pace back that can strike a defense quick. Peyton Pickett is dependable as our #2 and provides good ball security.

Top 5 questions for Liberty to address in spring camp

https://www.aseaofred.com/top-5-questio ... ring-camp/

J Mack Stats(Place on team)

Rushing- 792 yds(2nd)

YPCarry(Min 20 attempts) 5.8 (1st)

Scoring(WR, TE, RB) 7TDs (3rd)

YPCatch(Min 10 Catches) 13.6 yards (6th among all, 1st among RBs)

So he's averages more yards per catch and per carry than Hickson, and the top returning scorer on the entire team and we're just not sure? Cmon

First day of spring practice is in the book, according to Game On Facebook page

So, Jonathan Bennett tweeted this........


I guess the question is, will he now be participating in Spring drills from day one? They've been saying maybe just the last couple of weeks.

He was active in practice today.
