Valparaiso (FCS – IN): Holmes CC co-offensive coordinator/offensive line coach Brad Bustle has been hired to coach the offensive line, a source tells FootballScoop. Bustle is also formerly the co-offensive coordinator/offensive line coach at Cumberland. -per FootballScoop.com

Offensive line coach from a 4-5 community college record wise... With so many young guys and the position needing so much attention I have to admit, first impression of hire, underwhelmed.

Actually take that back. 4 year letter winner at guard for Louisiana-Lafayette (FBS). Two year grad assistant at Virginia Tech. Might be an up and comer.

Wasn't sure where to put this but the staff is providing some game tape from last year and giving a bit of color on the play. This one was interesting and I recalled it pretty well as it was being shown.

Just one problem. It wasn't game changing in the fashion that Coach Robinson mentions as the pick 6 was called back due to a DPI and the ball remained in Morehead State's hands in a game which Valpo lost by 6.

You can actually see the ref throwing the flag.

I guess Valpo is learning from CNN and MSNBC and FoxNews by providing fake news! I am surprised this got sent out.

Interesting that Duncan is coming back for a fifth year. Good on him! I was critical of him at times during the 2019 season, and I look forward to seeing him turn some of those negative situations/results, into positives, during the 2020 season.

I wonder if he even gets the start (probable for sure) but I guess there is a kid transferring in from Western Illinois who is suppose to be pretty good.

I am sure there will be some QB competition and that Duncan will have to earn the spot. He has much to improve on.

He's a kid who left the WI program to go back to prep school and likely hasn't done much more than practice a bit since his senior year in HS. He's essentially an incoming freshman competing with a 5th year senior. If he is that talented, it would make me wonder what WI was thinking. He's certainly got some work to do.

Beck probably won't start a game this year. If the season happens, Nimz could push Duncan but is one dimensional. I think the offense if more geared for ground and pound this year. Haugh and Riley are bigger backs. Duncan can move. Just need an offensive line. Which in no way can be worse than last year. (Not players fault, injuries, attrition, new coach, had several unplanned starters)

My question is how many new faces will there be. With transfers in and out and recruits I think there could be a 60% roster turnover. One thing that may be in Valpo's favor is lack of spring ball. That is where your returning depth improves the most.
