Re: The 2016 Seniors

Did anyone else see we're having a pro day on March 30th? Other than Trenton and Lance what players do you think will be there?

Re: 2016 Leatherneck Football Preview - Quarterbacks

Didn't really know which thread to post this in.

Did anyone see this article about the top 30 QB for the next draft?!?
Regardless of how our current QB situation stands. It's pretty awesome that the work that Norvell and the offense did over the last 3 seasons is being recognized with some legit ...

Re: Future Football Schedules

Any word on the standing of Eastern Illinois with the state budget cuts? What the procedure would be to fill the slot?

Re: Outgoing transfers

Appears to be another transfer out...

R-Fr. QB Noah Shanklin (Savannah, GA/IMG Academy)
Not entirely surprising, considering our QB situation.

We have a Senior QB (Norvell) and a Sophomore QB (McGuire) who will likely compete for the starting position this year. Barring any injuries or other ...

Re: Third non conference opponent

Not going to lie it was nice to have the team head over here to the Atlantic coast last year, with the Coastal game. Personally, I'm hoping for another game in this area. (Was really hoping for that next possible playoff game in VA). I also think it would be nice for Western to play an FBS team ...

Re: FBS Transfers Nows the Time

Yeah, and the playoff run this year will definitely make for a stronger case for the FBS talent.

Re: WIU @ Dayton (11/28/2015) - Playoffs Round 1

McGuir is who got us here after Norvell nearly lost the season for us. I vote McGuire throughout the playoffs.

24-7 against the easiest team we've played all season! :shock: I vote for Nielson to play whoever he thinks earns the spot this week. And I might be mistaken, but I thought it took more ...

Re: WIU @ Dayton (11/28/2015) - Playoffs Round 1

Well, we made it out of that game. Looks like the team needs to collect themselves, and refocus over the week and get ready for ISU, because I know they won't throw 3 INT. Need to bring the A game, and hopfully (like most others already posted) a healthy Norvell back on the field.



But for now ...

Re: WIU @ Dayton (11/28/2015) - Playoffs Round 1

That high blocked kicks ranking (4th in FCS) for Dayton kinda gives me pause. It's no secret we haven't been great at blocking the defenders on kicks (119th in FCS), with another one nearly costing us the game last weekend. They seem to be pretty good at knocking down kicks...I don't know if they ...

Re: Sean Mcguire?

I agree with NeckFan. This is not the time to be worried about the future QB. I watch every game, even better now that they are on ESPN3, and looking at the stats of the last 2 teams we beat in overtime , our opponents did not play that great. And now we are already speculating on the starting QB ...
