Roster Changes

As we would expect, there have been roster changes several in recent weeks, mostly amongst freshmen who for whatever reason are no longer listed -- 6 or 7 at least count. I will not go through all that detail , but one that drew my attention in recent days was highly touted 61/198 QB Hayden Oviatt ( #9) , originally a 3 star recruit from Kansas who chose Army over Kansas and Kansas State as I recall. { Recall Joe Iacono doing a video interview with Oviatt , DL Matt Gemma, and CB Jaxon Hammonds back in 7/22, right after they were recruited as Rivals 5.5 3 stars. Later Rivals downgraded Oviatt and Hammonds to 5.4 .} Point is : Hayden is no longer on the roster . During the preseason we've heard lots about Larry Robinson and Champ Harris as the freshman QBs the coaching staff likes. Have never a word about Hayden Oviatt or for that matter Fr Mitch Bolden ( #14) , also highly touted. Assumed they were "assigned" to the Scout Team and off radar. Am hoping that there is a roster glitch re Hayden Oviatt and that he is still at USMA and playing football . BTW recall he is also a KS State Champion Wrestler at 195. Does GBK have any info on Hayden Oviatt? Thanks.

Joe Iacono’s Based Post Game Comments

@jiacono did a great job in his video last night. I’ll add just a few other quick points:

1) ULM Coach Terry Bowden made two crucial in-game adjustments on offense in the fourth quarter. He changed QBs in ULM’s first possession of Q4. Then he started running hurry up a bit after that. Army made no adjustments on offense that I could detect. So, I think Joe is right in speculating that we lack the personnel we need for this new offense.

2) Army’s defense wears down in the second half of games - especially early in the season. We saw this last year against Coastal Carolina and UTSA. UTSA pioneered running the hurry-up offense in the second half of the OT loss at Michie. Our smarter opponents have copied that tactic ever since that game. I think it works because we have no dominant NT and inside linebacker and substitute often. We have still not replaced the qualities of NT Nolan Cockrill and ILB Arik Smith in the middle.
