He's not Newton. This isn't a veteran O-line. But this team is on the rebuild and it is talented but they ran up against a veteran team in their first game.

I actually love the results because the Bammers and other detractors are fucking beside themselves. They just knew it was over for Auburn against a cupcake. And if you think about it, this was Northwesternlike. We are that far removed from last season's final product. And who knows how much improvement can be made from week one to week two but we survived which is what is important. We can't be good to great because we aren't even good. But we are some unpredictable scary mother-fuckers. There will be growing pains.

I will say that Tre Mason is getting me excited about the future. I'm only half way thru 2nd quarter and this guy wants the ball. I wonder if Mason returns punts too.

What kind of time lag are you under?

I had baseball practice today too, and recorded it. If anybody wants this one on DVD for their personal collection, I will only charge $19.99.

Glad we won but oh well if we didn't. The sun was still gonna come up.

QB a popular target for criticism, and he wasn't great, but far from the worst issue. Def. fucking SUX!

Agreed.

Trotter had a few rookie mistakes, but he looked like a seasoned veteran leading us down the field for the win.

Our running game has to improve. Our defense needs to be replaced.

Look we suck! There's no denying that. But we did not run the no-huddle as it was designed, probably due to the younguns up front. This was a veteran Utah State DL we were up against, not chopped liver. Do not pay attention to their road record against a bunch of rookies. We bit on everything early and they had a good plan using our aggressiveness against us with delays, misdirection, screens and quick slants but talent was what overcame in the end...barely! Roof is used to coordinating according to the usual Malzahn pace which was absent. We are smallish up fromt and our linebackers are average but we didn't get cut-up deep for a change. It was a first game run through, almost a scrimage. We sucked but this staff knows why we sucked and State probably doesn't know what to think after watching this game. I'm actually encouraged because we never panicked and made few errors.

We wont be able to stop State from scoring 50.

I say we bow up on defense, go less vanilla and run the offense at a faster pace.. And I think Utah State is better than Memphis for what it's worth. State has to be the favorite but I don't think Relf will throw unopposed as he did in his first outing. I'll stick with Roof until we lose before I'll throw in the towel.
