Quiet spring football season

[PurpleCatFan]

Anybody have any news how the team is doing?
I think the WC has only ran about two articles all spring
I need a little UNI football fix about now
Somebody please give me some updates

Re: Quite spring football season

I thought their article on the TE situation was pretty interesting. It seems that we don't really have a good fill for Oordt. Any opinions on this? I know the article throws around a few names but does anyone have an information about who they are going to go with?

Re: Quite spring football season

Howard, Vandevender, Figueroa, and Peters? were the four mentioned I believe. All of em have the build, quesiton is if they can block on the edge. --Howard looked the part at CF, haven't seem much of him since so don't know what to expect.
-Curious to see Figueroa Friday night... wonder if he will be an impact guy. ---Vandevender appears to be filling Mahaffey's role as he is an H-Back type player from what I have heard.
- Don't know much about Peters.
-Also heard that Paul Helgens is now a TE. Big athletic kid with Matthews family hair-do. Could be in the mix once he gets the hang of things there.

David Johnson is going be a name that everyone will know by the time the season ends.

Re: Quite spring football season

De'andre Vandervender is a converted FB, I hope he gets to see decent time on the field this season. He was injured for most of last season although I doubt he would've played anyways (I believe he is just a Junior...could be wrong...). Not the sharpest tool in the shed but certainly the friendliest, a heck of a nice guy and darn funny. I know this says little about his game but I just love the kid.

Great description of De'andre, I just don't think he really has a good role on either side of the football at UNI (with the type of systems we run) however I think he could play a key role on special teams though.

Second this -feedback from a player: Johnson is a freak of an athlete and the strongest of all the freshmen in the weightroom. He will be coming out of the backfield. Dawson is coming along. Also we will have receivers this year.

Quite what? im confused.

Re: Quite spring football season

In this you can see some spring action with Johnson in the backfield. Vereen and LeMaster are promising young receivers - there is one play in the endzone where you can see what good hands Vereen (18) has.

That is the most animated I have ever seen Salmon. He almost seemed "giddy".
