Hankerson shoots the 3 at about the same percentage as X so that will help to make up for some of the loss, though at 6'2" he's a very different type of player. The Zips will need shooters on the floor as this will also force more floor time for Tribble. I am afraid they are really going to miss the 6'5' to 6'7" wing presence on defense and offense.

You can see it on the sidelines. How many times last year did we see kids on the sideline that were disinterested or dejected? You don't see that this year as the kids are fired up and focused on the game.

Way too many instances of the first tackler not getting the ball carrier down. This was one of the worst teams in the FBS last year. While it would be nice to see wins, we may need to be content with just seeing improvement on the field. I do think we've seen some of that.

Yes, and would have lost miserably yesterday.

The offensive line, defensive backs and special teams are killing this team. Areas to focus on in recruiting. I really like Morehead's offense and playcalling. I taught little kids two rules the Zips haven't mastered. One, do not field a punt inside the ten. Plant your feet on the 10 and do not back up. Two, nobody gets behind you if you are a DB. Those types of things make me worry that the coaching staff is either not on top of communicating with the kids or that they're putting kids in positions they're not equipped to handle (e.g. a freshman fielding punts). They gave a game away but an Arth team accomplishes nothing at halftime and gives up much earlier and loses by double digits. This team at least kept fighting. We have to accept the small victories when there's so far to come.

6:16 is the perfect amount of time for a 97-yard drive.

I'd sure like him to use a little discretion occasionally and go down rather than be hit.

I can see some music in long breaks but between plays?

It's a good thing that it's Mental Health Month. This team is going to drive me nuts

Embarrassing half of football.

Why would you try to catch a punt on the 3-yard line as you're backing up?

How does the guy over the ball jump offsides?

Amen. The kid is good.

Just awful between the open guys and running through receivers while never looking back. That long pass was in the air an awfully long time.

Time for another throw to the corner?

How is there ever a series on defense that Bubba is not in the game? I noticed he wasn't in on the opening series and he's not in now.

Solid 2 yard drive.

A fair catch by an up guy not making the catch. Yikes.

Leffler and McDonald's sure love to throw the ball to that far corner.

That opening drive was too easy. Thank goodness leffler lost his mind.

Headed out. Go Zips. Hope to get there early and put a bunch of tailgate concessions on Captain Kangaroo's tab!

Especially after a loss!!

I thought about that. Garvin had a slow start last year then grew up fast. I also do love Dawson and Tribble's energy coming off of the bench. As we've seen with Groce, it isn't about putting the 5 most talented players in the starting lineup, it's about finding the combination that works best.

Just so many unknowns this year. I could see Tribble possibly starting over Hankerson after his success in stepping in after Walton's meltdown last year. I really like his energy off of the bench though (as I liked Dawson's). It 's going to be fun seeing how Groce puts this all together.

I wonder if he is also left handed with a questionable arm.
