Moving Gervase to backup SS is interesting

OL still being tinkered with it seems.

Just matching what we saw Saturday vs. North Texas.

 

[JoelBittner]

Good to see Hooker as a starter. Taylor still feels like a weak link. Anyone have info on Wisneiski the TE? I heard good things about him in camp, yet he's been buried on the depth chart since he arrived. Injury related?

 

[pacnorthhawkeye]

It's Hooker time!

Yep. Same OL as Saturday. Boone played LG all but 3 series when Reynolds subbed in. Barring injury one would think this is our base lineup going forward.

 

[FranklinHawk]

I'd love to get to the point where Wirfs could take over RT and move Welsh back inside where he's special instead of just good.

 

[NevadaHawk]

OL still being tinkered with it seems.

It appears Alaric Jackson and Tristan Wirfs are developing right on schedule. Good to see.

 

[HawkNole09]

If Wirfs pushes into the starting lineup we could have 4/5 of our guys in the NFL in four years

 

[David1979]

Interesting about Hooker. He must have looked good in the film review to move him in there to be a starter.
Nice to see the same OL. Hopefully they start to get some chemistry with that group.

Black/Gold spirit game seating chart. anyone have a link?

His presence was notable on Saturday.

I thought Wirfs played pretty well at RT, for a true FR.

He looked pretty good Sat. I get he was going against a worn down front when he went in, but he's a huge kid, that really got off the football

Wirfs looks ahead of schedule to me. Who was the last true FR to start at OT for a KF team? Dace Richardson in 06 maybe?

 

[HoustonREDHawk]

Moving Gervase to backup SS is interesting

From what I have seen, getting #30 off the field is a good move.

 

[Zildjian6868]

It was also cool to see 94 blocking on the IKM touchdown late in the game.

Huh?

James Daniels started as a true freshman

Above. Sorry hit wrong post!

 

[Zildjian6868]

Huh?

I saw Epenesa on the field blocking on the touchdown run.

 

[hawkbleeder]

Huh?

I thought Epoy came into the field to congratulate his fellow true frost. Was he blocking on O?!

 

[sob5]

Pretty sure he came in to block for the PAT, but yes he did celebrate a little before lining up.

 

[ScoutRefugee]

James Daniels started as a true freshman

"Started at OT" " OT = offensive tackle. I guess I didn't realize James played offensive tackle as a FR. I thought he played OG. There have been several that played OG as a true FR.

 

[Zildjian6868]

I was at the game and I could've swore I saw him on the field. I was on the other side of the field as the play so I could be wrong.

 

[bigfridaynite]

I saw Epenesa on the field blocking on the touchdown run.

He ran on the field after the score to congratulate his buddy and then got a penalty on PAT for moving early

Not really surprising with how well he played on Saturday when Gervase was benched. Would have been very disappointed if they moved him back to 2nd string after that performance. Taylor better watch his back as his play has been the biggest disappointment this season.

 

[Pepperman]

I think the last freshman to start a game at OT was Reiff at PSU in 2009. Now, Homer or some other poster with a better memory can tell us if he was a true FR or a RSFR.

Edit - bulaga was hurt if I recall

 

[millah_22]

Yeah, but that's not what we recruited him for.

 

[VicHawkeye]

Is RB Toks A hurt/redshirting?

 

[StormHawk42]

Is RB Toks A hurt/redshirting?

RS may be a possibility as it appears he's been overtaken by Young and IKM

 

[Eternal Return]

I'm not sure if anyone else noticed, but there's a new starting punter this week.

 

[Tacticalhawk]

I'm not sure if anyone else noticed, but there's a new starting punter this week.

I did not. Nice heads up!

 

[hawkstuff]

Anyone think by the end of the year it may be Miles Taylor that is sitting. Maybe Gervase is being groomed to take over at SS

RS. Made his first start at Iowa State in 2009. Made people nervous. Little did we know Iowa was subbing in another 1st rounder.

Am I missing something? I see Colten listed.

 

[m.stoops2013]

#27 reminds me a little bit of #33 b.sanders.
27 played a lot faster than 30

 

[m.stoops2013]

Taylor played pretty well when lomax was here, he could be trying to "help" too much
