Yep, love the look of the new Iggy.Guess what guys? Not one PI against Iggy!!!
Texas is a great team with an awful QB and Ass play caller. They're gonna have to run Manning a lot to be successful, and I can't see him staying healthy.
never heard of them before yesterday. Only thing I remembered was they started with a T.Tarleton at least is a top 10 FCS team. Merrimack went 5-6 last year
yes. I was a defensive player for my football career (not really a career, but you get my drift) so I'm always going to grade defenses more harshly. But I also believe that shutout was as much on Texas being bad at passing for most of the game, which some of was good defense, but how many open receivers did Arch miss in the first half? And "decent" is on the good side of average. Plenty of room for improvement going forward, especially with the 8 new starters.Decent? Yeesh, tough grader for a defense with 8 new starters, entire new DL, playing a talented offense in the 1st game of the year that shut them out for 56 minutes
The media excuses and "let's not rush to judgment" posts are rolling in for Arch predictably. If Texas had won I somehow doubt Ohio State would be the same sentiment we would be called overrated
but Army lost to.... uh.... Templeton or something?
'chuckle' ... it must be awful being you. Where do you hang out that has 14 year old girls who can throw a ball on a dime, 55 yards?How are we supposed to net 400 yards passing when our QB has the size and arm strength of a 14-year old girl?
Fire Day and whoever the QB coach is …
Same as it ever wasThe media excuses and "let's not rush to judgment" posts are rolling in for Arch predictably. If Texas had won I somehow doubt Ohio State would be the same sentiment we would be called overrated

Do you even UNC Charlotte bro?Meanwhile in Ohio. Kent State shows they are still the worst team in FBS by surviving Merrimack 21-17

both the joy and the downside of 12 team playoff. In the end, this game doesn't really mean anything, so no reason to make the rookie uncomfortable.Sat here wondering why we didnb't open it up with Sayin, and Day said that was the plan not to open it up.
Day handling things.
Takeaways from the game:
Defense played a good not great game. Got lucky a couple times with Manning making shit throws
Not a lot of pressure on Manning (Maybe 3 or 4 times)
Sayin was impressive when he had the chances to throw and composed
Play calling was conservative asf
Struggled to run the ball
Donaldson might be better than Peoples
Overall good first win against what is supposed to be an elite team. Hoping to see a couple of ass kickings the next two weeks.
Confidence in himself, his receivers and also timing/rhythm. Looking forward to the next five games and watching him ramp it up.Overall not what I expected, but OSU dictated the game and didn’t have to open up much. I like the way they got Smith the ball. Texas keyed on and stifled the run, but Donaldson got tough yards and I think the OL did well while being outnumbered. Few, if any plays where the RB wasn’t able to at least get back to LOS.
Plenty to improve on, but Sayin looked much sharper than Manning and he’ll be able to sling it when needed. Very excited to see the improvement through the season.
