Play calling was much better in the 2nd half. As was execution.
Will did a good job. No INTs, ran the ball well and threw for 4 TDs (only credited for 3).
TreV had a complete game running, blocking and receiving.
Jeremiah Smith is the real deal.
Tate had a good game as well.
Impressed with Peoples. He's going to help us this year.
Innis is our answer at punt returner.
Defense was stellar. Happy for Gabe Powers.
Loved the sacks. Loved the turnovers. Loved the two scores.

I agree that they need to play better on running plays, but pass protection seemed solid to me.

That’s my only observation.., they could play better.

Of all the units, they played the least effective which isn’t ideal.

We couldn’t pound the ball and control the game early. Then again we were missing our best OL.

Not sure if it’s missing Jackson or if it was just a rough game? No clue

I thought the pass pro was great. Only counted two times Howard needed to bail. OL gave him plenty of time. Run game is a concern although I'm kind of convinced it's a scheme issue at this point. Feels like the OL has had this problem no matter who's been starting.

I could but that’s being optimistic.

This was not an elite OL performance.

Hence Downs and the starters on the OL playing late in the second half.

Don’t pretend we dominated start to finish

that's because it's not an elite Oline. And that's just the way its going to be.

But some people are pretending this is one of the worst Olines ever. That's not the case either.

Oh I agree.. it won’t be the worst not even close.

I just don’t think this was a good performance early either

At the same time, I don't think it was as bad as some (not you) want it to be....

Did they miss some stuff? Yes. You're going too. And that's why these guys are getting paid to fix it.

Some things (like that 3rd down play) was Henderson missing the damn hole and going too wide. Hinzman had no one to block because Akron was out of position, until Henderson ran to them essentially. Tate (I think it was Tate) was right there with no one to block either, the entire defense was to their left side...film study will be HUGE.
