Holland ran the INT back 70 yards before being tackled...I take back everything I ever stated, because we're either too slow to catch the Holland Monster (white guy) or the Holland Monster (white guy) is very fast and we've yet to see his true potential.

He's been holding back all this time for Washington State.

You know I am no Holland fan but I will reserve judgement on our speed until I actually see footage of said interception.  Give me a ten yard head start and the right angle and my slow white ass can beat everyone to the endzone.

He didn't make it to the endzone.  Got caught prior to.

Yea but I think what everyone was harping on was that he made it 70 yards without being caught and the point I was attempting to make was that 70 yards is not that inconceivable given bad angles and head starts.

He's squirrely....and fast

Holland's quote on the INT gives me pause and not because of him:

We were doing a little blitz in red zone,” Holland said. “I was a hole player, I was spying the quarterback. I got lucky because he threw it right to me.”

Which of the four ponyboys did it I wonder?

Wallace.

Wallace.

Wouldn't have been my first guess. More like 3rd. Thanks for providing.

Heights and weights update from the Heights and Weights Guy:

The updated roster for the Fall has a couple of interesting listings.  I've read several good comments about freshman WR, Tony Stevens, saying he's tall and long and can go up over people and bring down the foosballz.  Sounds like troof since he's now listed at 6'4" 190.  Can't recall having a 6'4" WR since who....? Lawyer Tillman, maybe? 

Freshman safety, Khari Harding, is shown at 6'0 223.  He's put on a lot of muscle over the summer and they say if he keeps bulking up, he will probably go to LB.  Speaking of LB, in looking at some preseason mags, Bama is shown to be running a 3-4 defense.  Their LB's are shown in Athlon as CJ Moseley, the preseason All-American being 6'3" and 232.  He's the pup since the remaining 3 go 245, 252 & 265.  Kwist on a Kwacka.

However, I was encouraged to see that AU is quickly transforming that position to have much bigger and physical (Jake excluded) guys.  The roster shows:

Holland:  240
Frost:  238
McKinzy:  246
Owens: 250
Flowers:  240
Toney:  236

I know the new strength corch (Can't recall his name right now) has guys training at a fast pace, station to station to go along with Malzahn's overall philosophy.  But apparently, it's packing some size on a lot of guys, especially the incoming freshmen.  I'm seeing anywhere from 10-20 pounds added to the size that these guys were listed at when they signed.  That make me moist.

Took them all summer- I did last year at X-gate.

"... has been the most impressive linebacker in the Tigers' first two scrimmages."
Seems Jake just outworks the others.

Nope.  I didn't read that.  Today is a good day.  It's Breaking Bad day!  It is not Jake Holland day.

It's the season of the Jake. Best get jolly!

"You're looking for steady improvement. Jake's better than he was in the spring. He's making plays. He's the most consistent linebacker I've got(ugh), but he's also making tackles(this can't be) and he's done a lot of good things."
