QUINCY, Ill. – Division II football in the Great Lakes Valley Conference will not happen in 2020, but that doesn't mean the QU football team has stopped preparing.
Head coach Gary Bass, defensive coordinator Sean Kelly, and quarterbacks coach Kaleb Borghardt joined the fourth episode of the QU Athletics Podcast to discuss the current happenings in the football program.
Coming off the heels of a record-setting offensive season in 2019, Gary Bass enters his fourth year at the helm for the Hawks. Coach Bass has his team trending upwards with one more win than in the previous year in the past three seasons.
Last year, the Hawks fast-paced, high-powered offense was led by senior quarterback Andrew Rund, who broke a single-season record for passing yards during the Hawks 5-6 campaign.
The Hawks will return Jalen Griffin, who was the eighth-highest rusher in the conference last year with 692 yards. Trey Mosley is the projected starting quarterback with two years of eligibility remaining while also having 15 games played under center.
Quincy's defense came up big in the turnover category last year by leading the GLVC with 16 interceptions in 11 games. The Hawks did graduate three defensive backs, but defensive coordinator, Sean Kelly, discussed his defensive scheme that is continuing to flourish.
The top storyline of any sports team in the nation right now is COVID-19. It is a disservice not to mention the wide-scope impact that the pandemic has had on coaches and athletes in regards to eligibility, development, and health concerns.
The coaches talked about how they have to actively navigate these times and keep their players sharp for when the season does come.
This show is now available on YouTube in video format along with Spotify and SoundCloud.
