Questions First

We all know that the 2017 Season kicks off Saturday.  What we don’t know is what the season will give Irish fans.  The fact is until the season is over, including a bowl game (we hope) we won’t know the full story of this team.  The game against Temple will give us a good look at what the future may hold for this year.

Many questions won’t be fully answered on Saturday but there are many we are hoping to get some insight to.

Q: First and foremost, is/can Brandon Wimbush be the real deal?   

A: No matter what Wimbush does on Saturday he’ll have at least 11 more games this season to define his season.  I think what we really hop to learn is how is his poise and how does he lead?

Q: Is Jerry Tillery ready to be the star we hope and need him to be?

A: As much as we need him to be I don’t see I happening.  I (and I hope I’m wrong) predict Tillery will be average at best on Saturday.

Q: What will the running game ball distribution look like?

A: Josh Adams will get the start and make the most of his lion’s share of carries and won’t let go.

Q: After Equanimeous St. Brown who will be the number two receiver?

A: Aliz’e Mack will return to the field with a chip on his shoulder and will be hard to defend.

Q: Will the Offensive Line be as dominate s their talent suggest?

A: With two All American on the line you would think this would be a no brainer but first they will have to stop the mistakes and penalties from the last couple of years.

Q: How will the coaching staff do?

A: It’s not so much how they do during the game but how they adjust after.
