1, Zack Greenlee: The lights will go on, and Greenlee will have to react much better than he did last season in a start against Wyoming and then some mop-up duty in the Hawaii Bowl loss to Rice. After the redshirt sophomore tossed in a clunker practice in fall camp, offensive coordinator Dave Schramm was asked if history is a factor in selecting a starter. He said, “No.” Players develop, players gain confidence, players gain consistency. Greenlee has, and it showed in camp, but he has to take that onto the field.
2, Communication on defense: Abilene Christian has an experience edge in its passing game and that experience can trump the Bulldogs’ talent and newfound nastiness in the secondary.
