Tanner McEvoy and our total absence of anybody to catch his lovely passes are going to murder my liver this season. Then Joel Stave can put his clown shoes act on and help out too

Your 2014 Texas Longhorns The Good - David Ash Bitch is back. There is some obvious rust and issues between him and the o-line but that's to be expected. - Johnathan Gray moved like he did pre-Achilles tear. The 'lightning' portion of our 2-prong rushing attack showed the moves that let him score approximately 9 million touchdowns in high school. - Malcolm Brown showed he is more than willing to be the battering ram that Bergeron was last year - Our receivers went out there and not only caught passes but weren't afraid. John Harris had an early drop but afterwards became a goddamn machine. - The defense that held Oregon to 1 TD and 3 FGs got better and smarter. Simple open field plays that were 15 yard gains last year became no gains. The defense stuck to their assignments and made tackles. They didn't do stupid things and go out their trying to lay down the boom. Our pass rush, as usual, is going to murder teams with questionable o-line play The Bad - David Ash Bitch is back. His arm strength still limits him to 40 yards and he still shows a tendency to overthrow a receiver by 5 yards. It's pretty obvious at this point Ash is never going to be a 'great' QB and we're going to need to rely on the running game to back people off and cover up his inadequacies. - The o-line could be in serious trouble. iirc going into last night our line had a total of 42 career starts, 39 of which were center Espinosa, who later went out with a high-ankle sprain. Afterwards we had all the expected issues of QB/center exchange and line inexperience, culminating in a fumble in our own endzone recovered by UNT. Luckily Ash showed comfort in throwing outside the pocket which might be required if he wants to remember what his favorite foods are. The Ugly - The chances of David Ash getting vegetable'd this season are insanely high especially with our inexperienced line. The Wacky - On a 3rd and 4 we accidentally had only 10 on defense. Bedford blitz'd with 6 and we got to the QB before he could hit his open man in the flat. Overall we can't take much away from this game since we enjoy a hilariously large advantage in ability but it was good to see us not make 6 million stupid mistakes on defense

berzerker posted:Ahh yes, UVA just managed to lose a game they mostly dominated by unbelievably stupid play calling. mikelondon.txt Our defense actually looked really good for the most part. Fewer penalties than last year is a big plus. But still: turnovers, special teams looked bad. We have 6 win talent with 2 win coaching. With slight improvement overall and a good defense... Maybe we'll be competitive this year? We're still running Steve Fairchild's Shortest Passing Plays Ever, so gently caress me gently with a cactus.

computer parts posted:So, A&M did pretty well. I was worried about how the offense would fare but it seems like Sumlin has it under control. The number of WRs we have is amazing and I can see his strategy now. Our defense still needs some work but I think basically all of them are freshmen and the one dude that wasn't was responsible for those two quick touchdowns by SCAR. This is more or less how I feel. Our offensive production is staying strong it looks like and our defensive is still weak but I believe will be somewhat better. I think the latter will allow us to overcome those close losses we had in the past few years.

So Michigan State didn't need a trillion defensive touchdowns to beat an FCS team. Oregon here we come! But seriously, it wasn't exactly a revelation in any way shape or form. We crushed a team we were absolutely supposed to crush, Connor Cook looked good but did stuff that an actual defense could pounce on, and it's still unclear how much of a step back the D really took.

VT looks oddly good. D is going to get run on a bit but pass D can make up for that. O is unbelievably young(all points but 6 came from freshmen including the kicker) but it's the most offensive talent VT's had in awhile. There's going to be growing pains offensively and defensively but I'm uh, optimistic about the team and the future. It's weird. Also Michael Brewer looks like he's going to own bones.

Washington Huskies The Good - John Ross is legit - he had a 40 yard KO return, 20 yard TD run and 91 yard TD catch in pretty quick succession. - Technically it counts as a win - No Turnovers - Most people were asleep by the time the game finished, so few people saw us look mostly incompetent. - No new injuries The Bad - Jeff Lindquist got the start at QB and couldn't hit water falling out of a boat. Outside of one good throw for a 91 yard TD, he was 9/25 for 71 yards. And I'm amazed he had that much - he looked just about as bad as I've ever seen a UW QB look. - Senior heavy OL couldn't get a consistent run game going against Hawaii - Front 7 - which was supposed to be the strength of the defense - couldn't stop Hawaii's 250 pound slow as poo poo RB from gaining 4-5 yards every time he got the ball - Super young secondary looked and played like they were super young. I was really excited for Jermanie Kelly, he had some of the worst tackling I've ever seen - Hawaii ran something like 27 plays in the first quarter to UW's five - Our punt returner constantly didn't field punts so they would bounce an extra 20 yards downfield - If Norm Chow hadn't called a WR reverse pass on 4th down on our 9 yard line we would probably have lost this game The Ugly - Got outplayed in all three phases by Hawaii - Seriously, if we don't get better fast Stanford and Oregon are both going to beat us by 60 points The Wacky - It was a sign of things to come when on 3rd and long one of our DEs tipped a pass at the line - and it bounced directly into a Hawaii WR's hands for a first down.

Well, Rice was like a kid on a scissor lift against Notre Dame, as everyone suspected would happen. I wasn't expecting us to not have any secondary to speak of (something Notre Dame figured out midway through the 2nd quarter and used to blow the game open), and the team looked sort of discombobulated in general. A&M is going to drop 70 on us. And then we start our conference schedule and could very easily win 8 games anyway. I was at a bar watching it with some other alumni, and apparently we chose one of the few bars in San Francisco with Shiner Bock on tap, so that's what we all ordered of course. Around the third quarter the bar staff finally put two and two together. (Mostly because they'd had that keg for awhile and it stood out when one group was suddenly ordering a lot of it.) Also, watching Les Miles' voodoo curse in action never gets old.

A&M obviously looked really good. I'm not too worried about the big plays yet, because that sort of thing should be readily correctible. It is, naturally, impossible to separate "Is South Carolina bad" from "Is A&M good" after one game, but I'm cautiously optimistic.

USC The good: Our offense looked really loving good Our defense looked really loving good outside of 2 drives (hopefully it doesn't mean we will have problems with running QBs) A lot of freshmen played and looked like juniors out there (both of our starting guards are true freshman) Holy poo poo, we have so much WR depth The bad: Need to work on ball security, we had fumbles on consecutive drives, and lost the ball after stepping out of bounds on another occasion Those two defensive series in the second quarter kind of sucked Andre Heidari still can't kick for distance, water wet, etc The weird: Never seen a team rotate offensive lineman like they were defensive lineman before

Defensive on the other hand looked shaky early in the secondary, but I'm hoping we can just adjust that out. Oregon scares me, but if the o-line holds up, Cook stays in form, and our defense makes a few tweaks we may win.
