Off-Season a success for Shola

The first Off-Season of Coach Shola's career has ended and it was definitely a successful one. On top of signing some very nice football players he also had a couple of players who are outstanding, transfer in. Mini-Camps went well and the players have high hopes for the upcoming season. Coach Shola has stated in his blog he will look to schedule tougher opponents so he can challenge his kids. Pre-Season recruiting and scheduling starts tomorrow.​

 

[packersfan4eva]

just read through ur off-season stuff, nice job signing a 4 year extension. although, it woulda been kinda kool for you to finish off ur contract here and then continue ur coaches career at kentucky.

 

[Woy]

7 drops!? Unrealistic.

2nd-team All-Sun Belt my freshman year though? I'll take it.

 

[Rylo]

2 comments I feel so loved! lol.

Yeah Packersfan maybe after the 4 year extension is up I will go somewhere else, but DSC has my heart <3.

And Woy you'll get them next year. The Quarterback play struggled a bit so we gotta get after it this coming year.

 

[Yawkey Way]

good to see you sticking around for 4+ seasons, hopefully you can continute to improve recruiting wise.

 

[Rudi]

Great work here Rylo, and your building process definitely seems to be on the right track. Those two transfers definitely should help too.

Gotta get that QB play working, though, to complement Hadley.

e. Schedule looks tough but doable - if you can pull off a win over one or two of those teams it should be a big boost to recruiting.

Falcons ready for new season​

The Daytona State Falcons took only one major blow to their team this off-season. That blow was significant though. They lost every starting offensive lineman from the previous year and are left with 3 former backups and a true freshman starting.

Speaking of true freshman... Bryan Lane and Bryan Williams will both be getting the nod at RE by alternating in between downs. Coach Shola says he does not see enough in any of them to take over VSN Saluki's starting job. However he thinks them alternating will be a great force at the RE position and he might even experiment with them at LB because of how agile they are.

The situation on defense other than that is the same with all returning starters. On offense it's basically the same as well. A little mix up with wide recievers, but nothing major. Airik Aldridge is the opening week QB unless otherwise noted and of course Kyle Hadley and Nick Harvey retain their starting jobs.

This season's schedule looks to be really tough and experts from ESPN, ABC, NC are all predicting around the same thing. A 6-6 record and sitting in 4th place in the Sun Belt conference. We will see how this turns out as the NCAA season starts saturday.

 

[Rylo]

I may have made a huge mistake scheduling these bigger teams if the Missouri game was any indication..

Saluki and True Frosh Booker combined for 4 sacks

True Frosh Bryan Williams forces an incompletion

This loss could possibly set the tone for an average to below average season for Coach Shola. His team not only was held offensively to 150 yards, but they also lose key players for a couple weeks. Wide Receiver Mario Jones is out for 2 weeks with a strained shoulder and LB Gary Pearson is out for 3 weeks with Back Spasms. These are huge hits to both offense and defense for the Falcons.

The only good coming from this game is probably the play out of each starting true freshman. Bryan Williams at RE was a force stopping the ball carrier 4 times and also causing 2 incompletions as he hit the QB. Charles Booker at DT showed why he was a 3 star recruit with 2 sacks and 5 tackles. Rookie RT Doug Bennett allowed no Sacks and pancaked a defender.

Next week will almost 100% be a loss. Can they pull off the upset of the century, though?

Falcons Stats:
Offense
Airik Aldridge. QB- 6/22, 70 yards, 3 INT
Kyle Hadley, HB- 11 rushes for 22 yards
Craig Simmons, WR- 2 receptions for 24 yards


Defense
Shane Booker, DT- 5 tackles, 2 FL, 2 Sacks
VSN Saluki, LE- 5 tackles, 2 FL, 2 Sacks
Bryan Williams, RE- 4 tackles

Raw Blung came in the game in the 2nd quarter and did very well

Craig Simmons shows why he is the star receiver with this TD catch

For the first quarter it looked as if Daytona State had an upset in them. In the 2nd, though, Miami's speedy defense just did everything. They injured starting QB Airik Aldridge and HB Kyle Hadley for an unknown amount of time and they picked off 3 of his passes for TD's.

In the 3rd quarter Daytona State came firing back with 15 points trying hopelessly to pull back within a touchdown. Those dreams were shot down in the 4th quarter when Miami put up 17 points.

Hopefully when North Texas rolls into Daytona Beach the Falcons can take their aggression out on them with a huge win.

Falcons Stats:
Offense
Raw Blung, QB- 9/13, 181 yards, 2 TD
Craig Simmons, WR- 4 receptions for 84 yards, TD
Josh Krueger, TE- 3 receptions for 41 yards


Defense
Nick Sigona, MLB- 7 tackles, 2 FL
Dexter McPherson, CB- 9 tackles
Bryan Williams, RE- 4 tackles
