How a loss to Western Illinois proves Coastal Carolina has long way to go as FBS team.

Watched the Coastal Carolina game...congrats to WIU. The Leathernecks looked good. The MVFC is as advertised: every weekend is going to be tough.

Total team effort going on here. Let this sink in. Our two TEs (Harper and Ratkovich) have a combined 8 grabs and one TD each in 3 games. I know a former HC whose TE production did not even come close to matching that in 3 whole seasons.

Keep up the good work guys!
Embrace the pace of the race.

It just hit me tonight - we haven't heard anything out of Joe Turk, and I thought he was pretty high on the list of RBs. Is he hurt, or has he just dropped on the depth chart?

Turk is redshirting with an injury. Recovering from an eye surgery. Think he's had a few and Fisher mentioned previously he may move to LB.

Seal, Ratkovich is a RB and not a TE, but yeah the production in one game was more than previous teams had in a year.

Yeah I think maybe he got Ratkovich and Conrady mixed up also surprised we haven't seen more out of Viti.
