From a coach's perspective, I am impressed by
Oct 19, 2020, 4:06 PM

the way that Hunter Helms and Will Spiers both seemed to know what to do during their opportunities to run the offense against GT. That's not to imply that I was surprised - I'm just offering a compliment to both the coaches AND the players in knowing that doesn't "just happen".
The play calls didn't appear to be very complex, but, except for a couple of miscommunications, the backs and receivers seemed to be on the same page and both QB's looked confident and smooth during the 3s and 4s turn to show what they could do.
I coached volleyball for many years and always told our players "We're going to do the right thing every time even if we don't do it exactly right every time." That's what I see from these guys coming off the bench - they are doing the right thing AND they are also, for the most part, doing it right.
Good job, coaches on pushing these guys and good job Tigers on buying what these coaches are selling.
Go Tigers!

Per Tigernet.com: "Dabo said Hunter Helms is a great kid to have on the team. Really proud of him and is a kid that has a lot of potential. Proud of the way he played without a lot of reps in practice"

"...without a lot of reps in practice."

EXACTLY!
This should be very encouraging and says a lot about either HH's attitude or the coaches' teaching technique(s) or both.
This is a kid that has to absorb it and take (mostly) mental reps while the 2s and 3s are taking a lot of actual physical reps.
That's a big deal to me and it doesn't go unappreciated.

I hadn't even heard his name before Saturday. It's encouraging and impressive. I give credit to Helms and the coaches.

Hunter is a grey-shirt (preferred walk-on) true freshman from Grey Academy. He had an extremely prolific high school career against very modest competition.
He looks to be a hidden gem, though he probably lacks a few of the tools to go head to head with DJ and Trevor.

Go Tigers!
Consider me impressed by you acknowledging it. I like to search through the political post and the non-sense post to try and find good "football post"! I can appreciate you calling this out!
Good Job! Awesome point too! Those guys didn't miss a beat it seemed to me. And that's all coaching and caring enough!

Are you referring to his car, or his favorite cigar?

I agree, both were extremely ready to play.

They both seemed more prepared than most other backups, even supposedly more talented ones such as Zerrick Cooper and Taisun Phommachanh.
