No National Championship this year in my view.. Defense has major issues. Offense is inconsistent. vaunted Oline didnt look that way today.

Do you not remember how we looked against Miami OH in the first game? It really wasn't until mid-season that the team began to gel.

Yeah, and no way we go undefeated last season after the shoddy play to begin the season. And way too many close games to possibly beat Miami in '02.... Just find a way to win.

First game of the season guys with a lot on new guys and young mistakes. As the year progresses, hopefully the mistakes are less and the D molds together. Plus the suspensions and injuries aren't contributing well today. May not be this year but you never know. Talent is there.

Nothing wrong with the O Line today. Very little to harp on offensively. If there is something holding this team back this year it's defensive consistency, same as last.

Its game one folks...lets not let this be our assumption of how the whole year will go. Long season and as Urban showed us last year, we will get better.

I wouldn't read too much into today, to be honest. First game slop (correctable), heat and hydration issues (not going to see this heat regularly), missing key defensive players, our top power runner, and two new lines have to gel.

There's a lot to work on, but this team is going to grow and be scary. I feel good.

We all got on a crazy high when our offense looked like a 14yo was playing NCAA online and cheesing, that's why the reality of the struggles was harder to bear. It's is a solid win.

I know it's hot down on the field but still. Somewhat disappointed

The biggest adjustments are made after the first week.

I think there is a few things wrong on the O-Line, things we can correct fortunately.

 

[Smudger]

Vonn Bell with the tackle on the kickoff.

 

[Jake]

Nice to see Basil drill one. Hard to believe we only had 11 FGs last year.

 

[Mariotwins]

Hmmmmm, no Brionte today?

Was wondering this myself

My god the announcing is terrible
