Lulay back at WR

Post by SonomaCat » Thu Aug 26, 2004 6:19 pm

BOZEMAN, Mont. -- After a brief trial at safety, freshman Tyler
Lulay found himself in a series of moves on Thursday that Bobcat coach
Mike Kramer believes will strengthen MSU in the secondary as well as at
receiver.
Redshirt freshman Andre Fuller moved from cornerback to safety
Thursday, which precipitated Lulay's move to receiver. The presence of
Lulay and newly-reinstated receiver Michael Williams bolstered MSU's
depth at receiver, Kramer said. "We wanted to take a look at Tyler at
safety, but he's back at receiver, where we think he'll be a fine
player," Kramer said. "He will fight for playing time.
Lulay and Williams will both play at the slot position, where
starter Brandon Roosevelt has battled illness this week. "Those guys
really give us some depth at a position where that's become a concern,"
Kramer said.
Fuller's presence gives the Bobcats more athleticism at safety,
Kramer said. "Andre has shown some athletic ability, but right now he
is
best suited for safety." Kramer is pleased with the improvement of
recent transfer Martin Henderson and true freshman Ryan Kelley. Senior
Kahiam Hunter and redshirt freshman Kory Austin are currently listed
first on the depth chart, but Kramer indicated that sophomore Eddie
Smith is making progress from his hamstring strain.

* * * SCRIMMAGE SET FOR SATURDAY * * *
Montana State's first scrimmage of the fall is set for Saturday,
and the list of things Bobcat head coach Mike Kramer wants to see is
not
complicated.
"The only thing that has to happen Saturday is that I want to
see how the non-starters in our program, the guys that are occupying
spots in the starting lineup or on the two-deep that haven't yet
started
a game here at Montana State," Kramer said. "I want to see what level
those guys riding with the ones and twos are playing at."
Kramer said it will be among the quickest scrimmages he's
conducted. "It will 60 plays, max," Kramer said. "It will be a quick,
fast-paced scrimmage. We'll take a quick look at the returning
starters,
an extensive look at the new starters, and a quick look at the young
guys."
Kramer wants to see a fast-paced session on Saturday. "I want to
see us play fast and with absolute game-ferocity," he said. "I won't
concentrate on blocks and missed tackles, but on energy and effort."

* * * SEBESTYEN'S DAD BACK TO THE MIDDLE EAST * * *
Ray Sebestyen, sidelined for the next week with a concussion,
has more on his mind than getting back on the practice field.
Sebestyen's father, Naval Supply Master James Sebestyen, has recently
been stationed with his unit in Iraq. "He doesn't say much about (being
in Iraq)," said the younger Sebestyen, who communicates with his father
by e-mail. "He's on three straight days, so he keeps pretty busy."

* * * HEAD BANGING * * *
The Bobcats are a little thinner on the defensive line this week
because of a pair of concussions. Sophomore end Clive Lowe is out until
Monday, while Ray Sebestyen's Wednesday concussion will shelve the
senior tackle for a week.

IMHO I think Tyler is a natural fit for WR. It will be exciting to see a Lulay to Lulay on a deep pass. The O line will be just fine, weight is not bad and the stregth is very good. Once Lulay has the confidence in the O line he will stay in the pocket longer and will have a great field of WR to look for. This should really open up the running game. We will get our first taste of how well the offense has come together on Sept 11. As fans I think we will be very suprised on how tough our offence really is, all doubts will be gone. GO CATS. :D
