Holy Cross

Am I the only one worried we might lose? I’m more worried about Holy Cross than NIU for some reason. Every year a least a few FCS teams knock off FBS teams. They have ten returning players who were all conference, including their QB. BC has always, always sucked against QBs who can also run (don’t make me go down the list). Their coach is better than ours. This just feels like such a trap game.

Interview with Matt Applebaum

From Media Day on Sunday. Hafley said in a press conference before we got the assistants that he's pretty sure they know the starting 5 at this point, wouldn't reveal it though (more from him tomorrow), which is why it's not brought up in here. Otherwise, I thought Applebaum had some interesting stuff to say...

Fedex Cup

This one’s for PG, Have to admit I’ve never completely understood the rules and strategy for this tournament or is it tournaments, sounds like there are three of them.. I thought that if a player was in the top 50 in Memphis then he goes to Chicago and if in the top 30 there then on to Atlanta but guess that ain’t so. Take Jordan Spieth, was comfortably in the 50, now loses two strokes to par today yet still listed as favorite to advance to East Lake yet he’s now at risk not to make it at even par for BMW, apparently a top 30 finish at Olympia Fields does not guarantee a trip to the championship, can somebody explain.

What we've learned about BC's opponents to date during camp

Kevin's providing coverage of BC's fall camp but it also matters what's happening inside all of the programs that the Eagles will face this year.

Here's a roundup of camp so far at some of the programs BC will be facing.

Zay looking good in Baltimore

Great feedback from coaches, teammates and ESPN:

22. Zay Flowers, WR, Baltimore Ravens

How he has fared so far: Flowers has been impressive with his ability to consistently get open. The Ravens have drafted six wide receivers in the first round in their history, but none has shown this type of route-running as a rookie. Teammates and coaches have raved about his sharp change of direction, which has caused plenty of separation this offseason. "Zay is shifty," quarterback Lamar Jackson said. "Zay is very fast, explosive. He can stop on the dime."

Flowers has had the occasional drop, which was a problem in college. But Ravens officials have shown no concern over his hands. Flowers is projected to be among Baltimore's top three wide receivers alongside Odell Beckham Jr. and Rashod Bateman. -- Jamison Hensley.
