Looks like the 4-2-5 is a for sure thing. This will be the base defense. A few people will be playing some different defensive positions but in the long run, it should be a better structure. When it comes to Tech Defense, after being ranked 116 in the nation, we can only get better.
On the offensive side they are still running the spread but are playing with the pistol and diamond formation quite a bit. Coach says its something they wanted to try out this spring and see if it evolves. It looks like Seth Doege will be the starter but the OC has said he will not name a starter until fall.
Doege is a junior and is currently taking 50% of the snaps and the other 50% is being disperssed amongst the other QB's mostly being Scotty Young.
On a side note, our chances moved from no chance to slim chance with the recruiting of Trey Williams. Mostly because his older brother will be transfering in this year, and play for TTU for his senior year after sitting out a red shirt junior year. Dosn't mean much other than a good word if his brother enjoys the staff and team.
Optimistic about this year, but it is obvious the team is still rebuilding into a different program. As for Tubbs leaving, I'm putting those chances at slim due to a 5 year contract extension and a pay raise given. The staff members are upset because of the state-wide budget shortfall and a freeze on pay raises, but apparantly there was a handshake deal to get him to come to TTU below market value.
