The learning curve compared to last year, where we installed a new system and a new defense in the first three weeks, isn't as steep this season. Now that we've had a year to work with the kids, I think we can build on our success.

Nick's very athletic and gives us an imposing presence coming off the edge. Greg will be solid for us on the strong side.

He maintains great leverage and block protection. He's got a nose for the ball and just makes plays out there.

I would say our skill positions have some depth. We have some good, athletic kids.

Jeff has fullback toughness and tailback speed. He's an outstanding blocker and is a guy who can get the yards when we need them. He really makes us a tough offense to defend because he's a guy opposing defenses have to pay a lot of attention to.

That might be the first time in school history we're 5-0, but I can't say that for sure.
