There is a SLEW of unnamed "Portal Talent Scouts' on staff that POUR through info and make recommendations to Coaching staff...THOSE folks are the FIRST to thank...

Then...the Coaches, AD and the Spyre Folks for "closing the deal'...so far...so GOOD!

Always seems that it takes a game or 2 for an O lineman who has been out to get on the same page with rest of the unit.
When you weigh 350 plus any kind of leg injury is amplified x10. The mobility you need to play left tackle at this level is insane. So him being a couple of weeks further in the healing process is definitely why he probably played better

Heupel has a pretty good eye for talent in the portal, it came up clutch last night and won us that game. Both Mccoy's, Brazzell, Thorton, Heard, and even Jakobe made a big play.
I hate to remind you, but Pruitt brought in Will Brooks. I know he's not a transfer, but; that's an eye for talent.

Indeed. Winning in the modern era is going to take the full gamut, select transfer portal guys, a solid foundation of high school recruits, and the occasional walk-on who turns out to be a baller (shout out 35).

I didn't mention Brooks so not sure what that has to do with my post? He was absolutely huge last night, but this staff developed Brooks from a walk on who only played in blowouts to a stud.

Not to downplay the rest of the transfers because I like them all but I have been so freaking impressed by McCoy. He's everywhere on defense. I love this guy. NFL talent for sure.
Absolutely the best of the bunch, true lock down corner. Can't count how many game altering plays he has already made. Even though he gave up the completion to Ryan Williams he set a tone for the night with that hit. You might catch it but we are going to punish you for it.

Playing O-line is hard, he is just getting into playing shape. This open date and overall cooler temps our O-Line should really be able to get honed in during practice the next 2 weeks. GBO
