How does Hunt look? Does he look like he has never played football before or is he adjusting to this game?

Somewhere in between. He's not nearly as lost as he was in the spring, but he obviously still has a lot to learn. There are times when he does things that aren't teachable — getting into the backfield almost as fast as the ball is snapped, using leverage to fend off blockers who hit him low — and there are times when he looks like he hasn't played a game yet. He clearly enjoys learning the game, and is visibly better every day. Still a lot to learn, but he gives indications that his physical gifts could translate into a pretty decent player.

I'm just glad we have that cat for four years.

for those that don't know Syzmanski's had a great Touchback ratio while at Texas A&M. That's his specialty. From an A&M article about his transfer:

"Szymanski's strong leg, however, was a weapon for A&M's kickoff team. He had 69 kickoffs as a freshman, 25 of them touchbacks. A&M's kickoff return defense improved 33 spots to 20th in the nation in 2006, allowing an average of 18.2 yards per return. Last year, A&M allowed 20.8 yard per return, which was 48th in the country. Szymanski had 66 kickoffs, 24 of them touchbacks"

For perspective, SMU with Kellis Cunningham had only 4 Touchbacks last year-so that's a big advantage that we should see this year.

Awesome job with the updates. Let us know when you're going to do another round.
