I have no recollection of Zeek Rodney* at all. Was he good?
*Had kids in fall of 2014, just now starting to watch again.
This Dan Collins article confirms that the defense will remain a 4-2-5, but that Sawvel will have so much flexibility to run it however he wants that Clawson is describing it as a system change. The article also details how the coaching search focused on DCs that were running defense with a similar formation.
Great analysis.
Wolford looked really good in our bowl game, pre injury.
There is no favorite at QB.
The competition is open. Wolford had a nice game against a top 10 defense in the Bowl game, but he also had some major struggles throughout the year. Injury may have played a role, but doesn't explain it all.
Have no doubt that Clawson will go with the QB that feels gives WF the best chance to win game in 2017. Could be Wolford, Hinton, Newman or Kearns. Clawson will not play favorites or start a senior out of deference. This is business.

100% agree. I hope it is a strong competition which will push them to improvement across all of the options. Just think when all is said and done we will see Wolford under center against Presbyterian.
Respectfully disagree. Hinton has already been named the starter going into practice with an open competition but Hinton still has a slight advantage. Hinton will come out of the Spring the starter barring injury. He brings a dynamic to the offense that no other QB does.
