Homecoming

Homecoming

We are excited to be home this week and look forward to playing in front of a great homecoming crowd.  Having all the alumni back on campus is always an exciting time at BVU and their support is greatly appreciated.  We have had a rough past couple weeks, but have shown improvements offensively and defensively, and look to put it all together this weekend. 

Offensively our OL has been coming together as a unit and playing more physical.  We ran the ball a lot more effectively against Central and we hope that we continue to move the chains on the ground and pop a couple long runs this week.  In the pass game Chris Hawkins has shown great improvements as our season has progressed, and we look for him to have big game this week.  Our WR’s had one of their best weeks of practice and we are looking for big plays out of them this week as well.

Defensively this week we have worked on trying to eliminating big plays which have hurt us so far this season and creating more turnovers.  We feel if we play fast and physical we can create a few more fumbles and get our hands on more balls in the secondary.  On the DL we want to put more pressure on the QB to create a few more sacks and hurries.  Our back seven spent a lot of time this week on proper pass drops and flying to the football.  If we can eliminate the big plays this week and create more turnovers we feel the defense can play a huge part in Saturday’s game.  The special teams have been solid up to this point, but we are looking for more big plays out of our return teams to give our offense better starting positions.

This week we also have around 60 recruits and their families up for a Game Day Visit.  It will be a great day to show off our campus, student life, and all of our supportive alumni.  On these visits recruits get to meet our coaching staff, tour campus, eat lunch, and then attend the game.  We look forward to having all of them enjoy a great afternoon on the lake at BVU.  GO BEAVERS!!!
