Warhawks Will Make Bowl Game
January 23, 2018
Next season the Warhawks will be bowl eligible. Although we went a distasteful 4-8 we have a lot of bright spots to build upon for next season.
If for some odd reason they do not make it to a bowl game, I will give up sharing my opinion on all types of sports.
The Warhawks had one of the most prolific offenses in school history.
The team averaged 34 points a game last year, with an offense that is only missing one key guy in Brian Williams who had 45 catches for 626 yards and 4 Touchdowns last year.
When one leaves somebody has to step up, it is the law of the land.
The Warhawks will have some guys returning that really need to be looked up because they could have a break out season.
The Warhawks are returning the All American do it all wide receiver Marcus Green who led the team in catches and yards with 54 catches for 829 yards.
The 5’8 191-pound receiver was a nightmare for the opposing special teams when it came to kickoffs.
Green ended the season tied for first with return touchdowns at four, fourth in all purpose yards’ yards with 1981 and fourth in return yards with 977.
RJ Turner is looking to rebound off a good season and turn it into a great season.
Turner is a big strong receiver who hauled in 40 catches for 704 yards and 6 touchdowns.
Turner will be back next season as the big baller we all know he is.
Devin Jackson Jr. the stud on the O-Line is going to come into next season and if you rush from his side you’re going to have a long night.
Jackson was accredited with 21 pancakes and the QB knew he was safe when it came to the rush from the right side.
Chase Day a 6’1 235 pound linebacker who was initially recruited as a tight end by coach Matt Viator shows he still has the vision of an offense player.
Day ended the season with 47 tackles 1 interception and 1.5 sacks.
He also missed two games, next season when he is at 100 percent look for all his numbers to rise and surprise a lot of people around the country.
Even the freshman class has to step it up, you never know when your number will be called.
Just ask Corey Straughter, the true freshman came in when the vets went down with injuries.
Straughter ended the season with 22 tackles and two interceptions not bad for somebody who may have had low expectations to play and let alone start some games.
8-4 remember where you read it and who said it first.
The Warhawks will be in their first bowl game since 2012 and the country will know that they are for real.
