I believe Council played a lot, last week. Is he a starter?
After Williams, I would like to see more of Sands, but Stewar also intrigues me. We need help at WR.

I noticed this as well. Our pass rush was pretty weak.
I did think Brian Reinke looked good.
We did have true freshmen in the game fairly early, so I don't feel as strongly about this but I also felt like the OL had more trouble than they should have.
I am troubled that our receivers had difficulty getting open and at times they broke their routes. I would like to have seen Dre Williams and Nate Stewart. Young and Smith have never demonstrated consistency and Smith had too many penalties.

What a jag-off.

It was also nice to see Reinke have a solid game. He has improved and can make a difference for us.
Brandon Junk got called for too many penalties. We are in trouble at tight end. Who is the next man up at TE?
Also of note: Zach Gingrich kicked an extra point in the second half, his first score as a college athlete, and long snapper Hayden Grover snapped on an extra point in the second half. Chuck Turfe carried the ball for 7 yards on what I think was his first college carry, at the end of the game.

So far in the first 2 games the following true freshman have gotten playing time: Meeks, Williams, Burkhart, Brimage, and Sampson. Seems like more than freshman than usual. I like how Sampson looked on that series. Came away with the sack.
edit: add Kobie Booker to the list.
I also liked seeing Deltron Sands have a good series. He should be getting looks as the #2 guy.

Giving Kato a quarter and a half of reps is invaluable.
Yes.

Talent differences aside, does it look like we have improved in any way from last week? I'm not sure we can say that we have.
I don't think you can really tell because we have gone from one end of the talent extreme to the other.
I don't see the alleged "noodle arm" that got some so upset last week, though. I see issues with receivers.

The stoppages for flags and media time outs make the game hard to watch.
Seriously. This is unbearable. I am really glad I didn't drive out for this.

It was only a play, thanks to Gilbert's INT, but Brimage and Kish were out there on the DL.
WE have not done enough of getting newer players experience games like this, in the past. Glad to see it.

We need Wolf back, bad.
Yup.
If our receivers can't get open against this team, it could be a long season. I hope Bickley's injury isn't serious.

Seen getting some reps at TE this week: Nick Johns.
Wow....wasting no time moving him to a new position.

Have yourself a day, Mr. Hunt! I tried to get him in both of my leagues, but I think he got picked up off of sheer average draft position, which was higher than it would have been due to him being named the outright starter from Ware getting injured.
I tried and failed, too.
Most yards from line of scrimmage, ever, in an NFL RB debut.

With Irma posing a significant threat to Florida, let's keep these Zips in our thoughts and prayers.
The following Zips list a hometown in Florida:
Van Edwards Jr.
Ulysees Gilbert IIICoaching Staff:
Terry and Jeff Bowden's parents
Erik Hickson - Florida native, former TB Bucaneer, former HS coach in Florida
Otis Mounds - former HS coach in Florida
Ben Murphy - native of Florida; former FSU recruiting staff, FSU alumni
Chuck Amato - spent 21 years coaching at FSU
I also think administrative assistant, Sherry Butler might have come from Florida

I don't see the Roo Walk on that timeline. Has that been scrapped?

Again, you saw one thing, I saw another. Time will tell. I am not saying it is impossible that his arm is weak, just saying we cant be certain. Would it really be so hard to acknowledge there are other possibilities?

Excuses excuses.... let's just schedule Baldwin Wallace so we feel good.
What excuse am I making? I am just describing reality. There is a reason that even am undefeated WMU barely got a Jan 1 bowl game.

We competed like a bad 1-AA.... stop making excuses. A legitimate D-1 team doesn't get completely ass beat like that. The toledo's of the world are in the same position as us. They don't just shrug it off and make excuses like you just did. They expect to compete.
We have some better G5 programs, but Toledo would have been soundly beat, too. Yo7 have unrealistic expectations.

It wasn't timing... it was noodle arm
Lol, oh, OK...I guess you now know how Tomny'arm feels and what he can and can't do. Oh, to be so clairvoyant.

So you missed him under throw a wide open wr on a deep ball that would be 6?
So you missed him yell at the refs, teammates, and coaches? Those are all facts.
Personally I'd let him sit next week. Gives Kato some much needed game reps while hopefully growing his confidence. All while Woody recovers. To me it's a win-win.
How can you be so sure the long ball misses were not timing issues? He has not thrown to Smith and Young all that much. They were not getting first team reps last year and he is just returning. That being said, I didn't see any better timing from the other guys, either...maybe it has something to do with route running, as well?
Let Woody work out his timing against Pine Bluff next week.

There is something between P5 and 1AA and we are it, whether we like it or not. The amount of money, tradition, and fan base these teams have make it very difficult for us to compete at the same level. That's just reality.

It is not character assasination. Even when Tommy wasn't in the game last year I was watching him pout on the sidelines. He needs to grow up.
As for the game...Tommy left at least 1 and probably 2 tds on the field because he was not capable of throwing the ball downfield. Because of this inability, penn state condensed the field and made us even more 1 dimensional than we already were. Kato needs to be the guy playing.... period.
You saw one thing. I saw another. I did not see enough of KN1 to form an opinion.

Exactly. Last season, when several of us were talking about his demeanor, and reporting some other things we were being told, some decided not to listen and call it "character assassination" or something. Maybe it took a few more games for the picture to become clearer to some.
I want him out there because he's the most talented guy we have. But if the season isn't going well, or the situation deteriorates again, we might have to move on.
I don't see his body language the way you do and it was character assassination. You want a winner to be frustrated when things are going poorly, not complacent. He leads the offense when he is on the field. He was frustrated with getting hit after he released the ball. I can't blame him. He was frustrated with not connecting with receivers. I can't blame him. His decision-making still gives him the advantage and his timing will return. I did not see anything that showed a lack of arm strength. I saw a lack of timing.

Like many on this board after a frustrating game I have to post some thoughts so here goes.
- No one expected us to win, but no one expected us to play so poorly
I believe that I predicted that the game was going to be ugly. I totally expected us to be this badly outmatched and do not believe it is a reflection of how good or bad we will play for the rest of the season. I believe PSU to be that good, this year. I think there are legitimate arguments for PSU to be higher than #6.
I think Woodson is still a question mark, but I think we need to see more.
-
Honestly, Tommy's body language was the same it always is. I didn't see enough from KN1 to warrant benching Tommy, yet.
I despise the week after we play a P5 group bc ZN completely loses perspective and over analyzes stuff that is generally not a good representation of the season.

I would like to see us through to Ball if they load up to stop the run. We need to get him the ball, one way or the other.
