Any highlights from Media day besides us being voted at 2nd best in conference?
Vidlak says he's 100% healthy and has been for a while. He says the offensive line is much better than last year, new transfer RB is extremely explosive, and the receiving room is very deep. He noted how last year he only had a fall camp to get chemistry with the guys, and now in year 2 it's much better.
Ky and Carthel noted that the defense is going to be very good again too, with Ky saying he believes it'll be as good as the offense.
Everyone noted that the team feels they have a lot to prove since last year. Basically all the reporters at the media day were confused why SFA wasn't the unanimous number 1 team for the preseason. Everyone was pointing out the returning talent and coaches as well as very favorable schedule(only 1 out of state game).
It was also said though about how SFA found ways to lose, the McNeese game specifically was referenced a few times.
The reporters continually asked the players and coaches how SFA would have finished the season if Vidlak didn't get hurt, with Ky noting that SFA was trending upward.
Both players talked about the NWST game and how bad they wanted the new trophy, and said how they want to do what they did to NWST to everyone.
Carthel also talked about the enrollment numbers have skyrocketed this fall. So that's a good sign for our little east Texas school.
Outside of SFA, HCU might end up being a team that surprises a lot of people. 24 FBS transfers will make them a night and day different team from a year ago.
Also McNeese's new uniforms look ugly.
I feel like this season is largely dependent on how our defense performs.
It will. Offensively we will be very potent, defense has the most holes to fill so we will see how the new guys fill and flow.
