It's early, but this is exactly what I wanted to see from this game. We need to dominate these guys. Anything less than utter domination would have been concerning.

Keep the foot on the pedal and finish strong.

Obviously this is against an FCS school...but it was nice to see the OL give Finn plenty of time for that play to develop

Pete just said there are 40k at McLane. Is that accurate?

I'm sure as usual that's total tickets sold - not butts in seats.

Agreed. I look forward to cupcake games again where I can watch the 2nd and 3rd teamers get some reps as I chill for the next big games of the evening. Looks great so far, Sic 'Em!

I said this in the TCU Stanford thread last night..

Every team in this league can move the ball..and almost all have no defense..

Any team that can play a lick of defense can win this...

In Dave I Trust..I think..

We seriously should at least scare hanging 60 on these guys even if the reserves play the whole 2nd half.

Baylor does play with an edge. Seeing some nice celebrations a la KD Cannon et al.

Great job by Matt Jones making sure the RB did not fall forward. It looked like the running back had leverage also.

Exactly, these games are for building huge leads and getting game experience for backups.

Where's Jackson, Presley, Baldwin at? That drive looked like 23 BU.

There's going to be some of that, I fear, because we're still not very good up front.

But this scheme is far more skill player-friendly than Grimes' was.

Concerning that Hawkins seems to be the only receiver who can create separation against DBs of that level.

I'm probably in the minority but I'm ok with the starters playing 3 plus quarters. They need the reps and the comp level is about to skyrocket next week. Let these boys get humming

Didn't like that last drive especially from the standpoint of the OLine.

Offensive line looked offensive on that sack. Our left tackle has slow feet.

Not sure you can call it a 'drive' when you end up back at the line of scrimmage...

Am I the only one who is having the audio cutting out often on?
The audio is freaking awful. If ESPN is going to promote and push major conference games to ESPN+, there needs to be a requisite quality level for these broadcasts.

There are constantly issues. I hate being forced to pay for an amateur-quality product.


The only sure remedy is to have a good record, opponents, consistency to overcome being placed on +. Probably leaving something out, but you can include whatever it is along with those. Up to now we ain't doing it.

The defense looks so much more sound this year than it did last season.

I know Tarleton is Tarleton, but we weren't this disciplined against anyone last year. Our guys are consistently doing their assignments and where they're supposed to be, which is nice to see.

Thomas reminds me of Eddie Lackey and Bryce Hager in that he seems to be in, on or near every tackle.
