We simply can't get off the field on 3rd down.

Hell of a hit by McCoy.

Also DJ's ankle must still be an issue. He isn't keeping it on designed runs.

Perez's leg looked pretty weak, but accurate last game. Surprised Joe opted for the FG try there.

And Sibley gets us...that seam route seems like it'll be open all night.

Darrian Lewis still impressing. Been a good surprise so far.

Can we learn how to block on punts?

Its early and we've played some tough opponents, but this D so far isn't much better than last year, even with all the transfers.

Hooks and Durant appear to be starting at CB again.

McCoy starting at LB.

They will be joining C-USA soon.

Like others have said, would like to see us compete today, and I think we will. Win would be great going into conference play, but just compete to show you can play against good G5 programs.

While some stunts or whatever may have not been used as a result of the score, the OL has still done a good job handling their man in pass protection, which I think is encouraging. Run blocking would appear to still leave a lot to desire, but DJ being a non-running threat last week made it easier on the defense as well.

Shredo is a nice gadget type RB for them, but Sibley doesn't yet have a reception this year, though did appear to have 2 targets last week.

So you’re saying there’s a chance?!

Looks about right assuming the class listed on GoZips is correct. I bet we end up bringing in another 10 transfer portal players this year. Still some roster manipulation to do I think.

There’s levels to this. Multiple payday games against top teams is worse than multiple pay day games (one against a top team and one against an average to below average P5) and so on. Sweet spot to me would be one pay day game against a middling P5 team, 2 G5 OOCs, and one FCS opponent. Even if the sweet spot doesn’t happen, it doesn’t mean scheduling can’t get a lot better, and it seems it will.

Ardell Banks out of Massillon de-committed from Toledo.

Really impressive when you consider our first 3 games might have been the toughest out of anyone in the country.

Spot on thought as usual, IMO. Only other things I’d add are: I thought pass protection was good the first 3 quarters. Think Irons was only sacked once at that point, though he did take a few other hits. Wiley in general hasn’t impressed me much yet. Agree on Norrils getting more PT. Seemed to me we took the Irons designed runs out of the playbook, which makes sense considering it was suprising he played. still like all of our WR threats even though Adams and Brank had inexcusable drops. The offense should be fun to watch during conference play. Defense is the wildcard. The injuries starting to pile up and Robinson and Threatt not working out thus far hurts as well. We had high expectations for them. I hope we can get Amankwaa and Richardson back. Both have been out with injury thus far and both are upgrades to the current starters IMO.

Brank.

3 OOC games again next year stinks. For some reason I thought Kentucky was at home in 23.

Thank God thats over. Boateng and JKP were shaken up, hopefully can get back sooner rather than later.

Perez probably took Smigel's spot.
