the past few years we have been able to red shirt so many players. Lynch said that unless a freshman is going to come in and start he will most likely be red shirted. Lynch talked about how he feels very good about the D-line. We do lose Kirlew and Middleton but we have 6 solid defensive tackles coming back and we should have Fred Jones and Darius Johnson finally healthy next year. He did talk about that there is room for people to shuffle around on the d-line. At the defensive end position he said specifically that freshman Javon Cornley has improved a lot. He has great quickness and has put on 15 lbs this year and he could be a young kid who makes a good contribution next year. He said that Tyler Replogle will most likely move inside and he thinks Chad Sherer will be a very good line backer when he has more of an opportunity next year. Freshman Nick Turner has done a good job on the scout team this year and should provide a good back up to Darius Willis next season. Lynch said that usually after seasons he likes to take some time off before he gets back at it but after this season he is extremely eager to get back at it. Overall, Lynch thinks the program is headed in the right direction. He likes how our young kids have developed and the staff has done a good job recruiting the type of kids that they are looking for.

Lynch sees Improvement
Coach Lynch talked to the media today to wrap up the season. Although nobody is happy or satisfied with how the year ended he noted that the biggest bright spots have been with the overall consistency of how hard people have brought it at practices and players taking accountability. This year brought about on average 10,000 more fans to each game. The mentality of the program seems to be changing in the right direction. What should also help the program is the fact that

Do you think the buzz of the new stadium is what caused the increase in attendance? If so, will it carry over into next season?
ReplyDeleteI think the biggest reasons for the increased attendance were first off the buzz with the new stadium, secondly having Ohio State and Purdue on the schedule. Staying competitive in most of the games probably helped as well. I think it is going to be very difficult to have it carry over. First off our big ten home games are Northwestern, Iowa, and Michigan. Then the rest of our schedule will be non-conference games such as Towson and I think they will try and move the Central Michigan game to Bloomington. I think Virginia is coming to town as well. Unless we can somehow create a big buzz this off-season (not quite sure how that will happen) I think we will see a small decrease in attendance from this year to next year.
