I had my first
look at the indoor facility. What an amazing building I really loved
seeing the
photos of the Lobo All-Americans on the wall. As big as it looks from
the
outside it is even bigger on the inside as guys get small on the other
side of
the field. If you get a chance to ever see a practice or just go in
there you
should check it out.
Some photos from
inside the Lobo Dome!
In all
the reports that TRM has given us I really wanted to
see the high powered offense that Coach Locks is bringing to UNM. After
the
last scrimmage report I thought O was going to light it up. Bandito
keeps
talking about comparing this year’s squad to other years and I should
have
snapped this is still a Lobo football team with defense as the main
weapon.
I
don’t know all the names and positions but the guys on the
defensive line were swarming the quarterbacks. They couldn’t hit them
as some
were wearing black jerseys and Donovan was wearing a blue one but they
were in
backfield it seemed all the time. The guy that was awesome #88
(Jonathan
Rainey) spent more time behind the offensive line then some
quarterbacks. And
big man Peter Gardner was a bashing ball up the middle.
Last
week there was a podcast where Coach Locks wasn’t happy
about interceptions. Yesterday according to golobos.com there were 4
interceptions by Frankie Baca, Frankie Solomon, Bubba Forrest, and
Trevox
Tixier (thanks Fredo)
Big
surprise but the Lobos have a monster linebacker in #55
Trey Hardaway. I saw him lay out a couple of dudes wearing white.
It
wasn’t all defense as the offense started getting it
going. Donovon Porterie threw okay but #12 (B.R. Holbrook) looks like
the
better throwing qb and Tate Smith can run and throw. I was disappointed
to see
Brad Gruner have a bad day since I been hearing good things about him
so far.
The
3 Lobo running backs rotated in and out but I thought
#34 (A.J. Butler) had the best day and the small wide receiver #8
(Roland Bruno) was exciting to watch. He catches all kinds of balls.
There
was a field goal blocked. I don’t know who blocked it,
but I know Bandito mentioned how exciting it is to take away 3 points
so I
wanted to mention it.
