in the pass game and you can see he is much more comfortable. And we made a conscious effort this spring to keep him in the pocket.

“We know what he can do outside of the pocket and, obviously, in the fall we will let him do that. But we wanted to keep him in the pocket, develop his pocket awareness and develop his eyes down the field to keep him from getting out. When he takes off with it he is as good as we’ve had and we don’t want to take that away from him. We wanted to work on the other aspect of that this spring.” Dan Hunt Q&A -- Defense

Changes Being Made to Improve Two Key Areas

In Part II, Colgate head coach Dan Hunt talks about defense and special teams, and the strides already being made in those two areas.

The second big change of the spring was your defen- sive scheme. How did that change go?

Hunt: “That worked out great. In my exit meetings with all the players after spring practice, the defensive players all loved it. I met with them all before they finished their finals and every kid loves the defense. They love the changes. It’s definitely more ag- gressive, it’s able to disguise more what we are doing, put more pressure on an offense from a blitz standpoint, but yet we’re still safe in the back end. The kids have taken to it really well.

Mike Armiento’s late-game pick at Holy Cross sparked a last-minute victory “What I’ve told them is they have to go from the mentality of and was one of six interceptions for the season by the ECAC All-Star. we’re going to keep us in a game to now their mentality is we’re going to win a game. I told them they shouldn’t just be thinking ers and the snappers and the holders, but guys covering kicks we’re going to give our offense a chance to win a game; the men- and protecting kicks and tackling – and we would do that for a tality is we’re going to win the game. They’re taking to that and period. Then we would have a period of scripted team work and between now and August and getting through camp, by the time usually what it would be is eight or nine field goals and six punts. we get ready to roll, they’ll have it all down. The added bonus of that being in the spring was instead of doing punt versus a scout look, it was our punt team versus our punt “They’re excited. And when the kids are excited, we’re excited.” rush team. So the intensity was up, the effort was up and it was It looked in the spring game like the defense was definitely a more realistic look. We are going see benefits down the road of that and the kids understand that. chasing the quarterbacks all afternoon. “Special teams are for everyone. Everyone on the team has a role Hunt: “Our defensive line was generating pressure on the quar- with special teams. So when we are doing special teams, practice terback and as a group has a chance to be a very dominant group stops and it’s all about special teams. Coach Knowles did a great of guys. The scheme of what they were doing defensively and the job in organizing it and assigning the assistant coaches work to do pressure it puts on an offense to pick up the pressure and not knowing where it’s coming from and not knowing how to analyze RETURNING LETTERMEN the coverage – that is going to allow them to continue to pressure other quarterbacks, other than just ours. I would agree with that; DEFENSIVE LINEMEN it was very noticeable in the spring.” 60 Anto Almasian *** DL 6-4 270 Sr. Massena, N.Y. (Massena) 91 Ben Andersen * DL 6-4 245 Jr. Madison, N.J.

And with him having been a for- 85 Nikko Armiento ** P 6-1 195 Jr. Ft. Lauderdale, Fla. (American Heritage) 46 Jonah Bowman K 6-0 215 So. Wyomissing, Pa. (Wyomissing Area) mer head coach, he has coached everything. 35 Duncan Brennan * K 6-0 190 Jr. Maitland, Fla. (Bishop Moore Catholic) “The transition offensively from Chris Young to quarterbacks, Terry to tight ends and me to running backs – the language didn’t change. It was familiar to everybody. It was a move where every- one was familiar with the terminology and things and it is moving along pretty well.

“For me personally, it was nice. I haven’t coached running backs here since 1997, so it was great to get back to coaching that posi- tion. It’s the feature position in our offense, so it was nice to be involved with it.”

“Then, defensively, adding Tem Lukabu was one of the best things we’ve been able to do. He has just been fantastic with those outside linebackers. He brings so much credibility with from his career here – when you look around, his picture is everywhere. And coming from the NFL, he’s really done a nice job with the outside linebackers, along with his input to the defensive scheme and with special teams. He is outstanding in his role helping Ryan Knowles with special teams. That has been a nice addition.

“Moving Andrew Kirkland back to get two guys in the second- ary, with what we do, is important. The safeties and the corners – yes, they are both secondary – but there is uniqueness to both and to have two sets of eyes back there and two sets of voices in their ears is something that really helps.

“Having it so Paul Shaffner is the defensive coordinator, that is something that just from a simplicity point of one system, his system – he has been around and he runs it. That move has been positive and it freed up Ryan, who is still working with the defensive line. When God made the mold of what a defensive line coach should be, it was Ryan Knowles. But he’s now freed up to spend time with special teams, which is going to take a lot of his responsibility.

“Hopefully it’s going to keep getting better, but the moves have worked for the betterment of both the coaches and the players.”

Q: What about you? You mentioned it briefly there, moving to tailbacks, which you haven’t coached for 15-17 years. How was that and how was seeing the entire field from an air traffic control point of view?

Hunt: “There are definitely noticeable results from what they have done in the weight room. Clearly our kids are bigger and stronger than they were at the end of the season, and that cor- relates to confidence. Our kids are playing with a little bit more confidence because they know they have the physical strength to back up what they are trying to do.

“The conditioning program and the running program and the agil- ity program we did has paid off. Just personally, I’ve noticed our kids are on their feet more. There’s less falling down, a lot less inadvertent kids on the ground who shouldn’t be.

“I put a lot of that into what they did with Coach Helsel.

“The kids have bought in. We are physically a much stronger foot- ball team than we were when the season ended and we run better. Does that guarantee anything? No. But, it puts our kids in a much better position to be competitive and allows them to play with a little bit more physical confidence.

“They still have the summer to keep going. Our test numbers for strength – kids have been making incredible gains. We are seeing kids getting 40-to-50 pounds stronger on the bench press, which is absolutely incredible. A lot of credit goes to Coach Helsel, and a lot of credit goes to the kids for putting in the work. I’m excited about the results there, that’s for sure.”

Q: What were the reactions from the team and coaches to having that spring wrap-up game?

Hunt: The players enjoyed it and the coaches enjoyed it. It is nice to have something a little bit out there and let the community see our product and get the kids involved. It is something that we will most definitely continue to do.

“We’ll tweak the scoring system a little bit, but I think it worked out. Any time you put a score up on the scoreboard, the kids care and that was fun. The fact that they were able to raise some money for a great charity – ultimately that is one of the things as Kevin O’Connell is the team’s top returning receiver after catching 26 pass- a football program we have the ability to do, to be public and to es last year for 346 yards and two touchdowns. promote causes.

Everybody has their preference, and I want mask so much that people don’t realize they are real people in to make sure that guys can do what they want to do.” there that are great kids doing great things.

Q: What about conditioning? This is the first year “We’ll definitely keep that going.” Paul Helsel was here for an offseason, so did you see noticeable results?
