Umhb having an offensive line that averages 300lbs, if they can't run the ball------something is seriously wrong!

Offensively that's what stood out most to me as well. No consistent running game. That can't happen over the course of the season with a line that size if the CRU is fixing to make another run this year.

Overall lots to clean up but at first glance (against a quality opponent) we have a promising squad that looks like they could so something special.

Just give that QB enough time to throw it to 82 and 0. They are a handful.

I agree with all of this.

There was plenty of sloppiness to get cleaned up, but most of the issues I saw tonight are fixable. Hopefully that applies to the running game as well.

Overall, I can't complain about a 21 point win against a solid opponent on a long road trip. It appears, admittedly based on a very small sample, that we're better off at QB than we've been since King left (yes, that's a low bar), and he has some explosive guys to throw to. The defense also looked pretty solid after a rough start, but they need to improve the tackling, and maintain their intensity after getting a solid lead rather than letting up like they did after taking the 28-7 lead.

Overall, I'm excited to see what they can do this year.

Yall covered it all, clean up the penalties and tackling, get a run game going and it's gonna be a really good season.

Moore didn't really do much in the run game but dang if he wasn't electric as a receiver. Jet Hayes had some really tough and elusive runs.

BJ Stewart was everything we expected and Trace Meullion was a surprise.

All in all, feeling the best I have in years after game 1.
