Army will win a lot of games this year. Their QB can play.

Two years ago, when they switched from a mostly pure flexbone set to running a lot of pistol and shotgun, I thought they were going to collapse.

I am happy to say I was wrong. The Army QB isn't the terrifying runner some of the past Army QBs have been, but he's better at airing out the ball. They now have a down hill running attack when they want it and they still have all the flexbone bag of tricks to draw on.

With different formations, looks, and areas of attack you can't prepare for the triple option as easily as you once could.

How did Carolina get him? Was he bad at the other school? I see he was at Auburn. Wow! I guess Freeze must've thought he wasn't that good.

Hugh chose to play Thorne in 2023 more than Ashford - he went in portal 12/15 and then committed to USC early January - it wasn't viewed as some sort of coup by Carolina fans - but it's provided a high degree of experience and athletic skill in the QB room - expecially with Sellers healing his ankle that forced him out of the 2H vs LSU -

Ashford may have had his best passing game as a college QB last night - albeit vs Akron - but he had better passing numbers than the Ohio Slate QB did vs the same Akron team - total offense 376 to 244 for Ashford - 3 TD each -

How nice it'd be to be 4-0 right now..

I buried Bama too early. Tenn, is the only one that will give them trouble and that is because it's on the road. UGA and Mizzou don't have enough offense to stop Milroe's off-script lucky shite. And ou is dead.
