Posted by UNT 90 Grad,

I was there.  Just because Littrell hasn’t announced the starting QB doesn’t mean we won’t have a single 1st string QB.   Competition is good and I have no problem with Littrell allowing Aune to feel like he has to earn the position.  Martin may have had the best camp, but I think that may have been because he had more opportunity for growth.  Aune and Martin both looked really sharp during drills against defense  (excitingly sharp).  However, when it came to the actual scrimmage, Aune stood out

Good scrimmage recap

After reading the comments, it sounds like our concern should be OL depth. 

Well when you have 2 monster ends coming at you, it's not that easy. I think it's fine mainly because they are pretty young. If Farrell was on the team, I feel like it would be different.

I thought that Aune was superb and Martin not that far behind.  His first touchdown throw was a thing of beauty.  I saw one bad overthrow where he was flushed out of the pocket and threw the ball 60 yards on the run; about five yards beyond the receiver.  I saw a couple more slight overthrows that looked like coverage overthrows so that only his receiver had a chance at the ball and not the defender.  Drummond, who threw a pick6, showed more than Gilmore in my opinion.  Gilmore had a tipped interception.  Now if Ruder is better than Aune we're going to have a very good quarterback room.

It would’ve been a TD if Darden was underneath.

We’re gonna miss that guy next season.

Shocker!  Is anyone really surprised the OL depth is suspect?  Always has been a problem.  Same with the DL.

I would hope some of the youngsters, Duncan, Cassidy, Brunner and Byers would start stepping up to provide depth.

Did our young stud TE's do anything of note? Seems like we have a plethora of talent at the position but not much production

The only ones that I noticed were Lyles and Jake Roberts.  I'm not sure if Lyles was at tight end or receiver.  Roberts was a very effective blocker but I don't think that he was targeted.

He impressed me in the few times he was targeted last year.  I would hope we would utilize the TE over the middle and look forward to production from the likes of Lyles, Roberts, Alberding and Christian Lee.

87 is an absolute stud. With a full offseason this year, he may be our best prospect on offense this fall.

I am looking forward to him developing his game, but regarding the statement in bold:

That's Jake Roberts and he is quite possibly our next big NFL prospect.  He is a stud and can really play.

Don't forget they also have Pirtyle and Albernding.  Alberding is also a physical specimen and is big enough to be an offensive tackle.  The tight end position is stocked!

Littrell loves to bring him up. He has mentioned Roberts many times in interviews unprompted. Roberts also seems to be among the weight room or academic MVPs that the twitter account shouts out just about every time. He immediately won that starting H Back role as well. Definitely easy to picture him playing an even bigger role this year.

      We Got A Commit

      A 6'6 guard is something NT isnt really accustomed to. We had a bunch of shorties making it rain before this. So this is pretty refreshing. Not hating on the guards of the past, but ya know what I mean lol.

      Naming rights for NIL $?

      I noticed online that UTSA was offering naming rights for donations and it seemed like a good idea. Are we doing anything similar or have we tried this in the past? Be Bold Today SAN ANTONIO – Leave your mark – and your name – on the future of UTSA Athletics by making a gift that will be integral to the continued rise of the program for future generations of student-athletes. UTSA Athletics recently announced that it is investing $57 million in facilities and capital projects thanks to incredible institutional support. Over the next five years, this emphasis will allow UTSA to focus on the construction of a basketball and volleyball training facility, player development centers for both baseball and softball, a nutrition performance center for all student-athletes and a covered football pavilion. While this investment provides a remarkable foundation for the groundbreaking of these much-needed facilities projects, philanthropic support will play a key role in driving these state-of-the-art facilities toward completion. In 2021, UTSA Athletics launched the Bold Champions campaign to increase support for the Roadrunner Athletic Fund, and to enhance and expand athletics facilities, which will ensure that all 17 intercollegiate sports programs remain competitive. We are grateful to the generous donors who have contributed to the Bold Champions campaign to date. To further drive the campaign, UTSA Athletics is pleased to announce that there are additional naming opportunities available in all sports and at all gift levels. These public acknowledgements serve as an inspiration to others in our community and highlight the impact of the athletics program on the entire UTSA and San Antonio communities. Naming opportunities are a great way to honor family members and make your family name a lasting part of the UTSA Athletics legacy. Leadership gifts begin at $25,000 and can be pledged over five years. If you are interested in supporting the Bold Champions campaign, please fill out an information request form to discuss with a member of the UTSA Athletics Development team. Your support of Roadrunner Athletics is essential to our future success.

      Massie is roughly the same frame as Cotton and the incoming Mason. I hope this doesn't further stall their development. Time to figure out what we have in our own recruits
