Our defense is going to get completely worn down if we don't figure out a way to possess the ball some over the next two quarters.

I don't think it's speed, it's assignment. Our guys aren't in position against the option.

Playing against this Grace Prep Academy offense in no way prepares us for the offensive assault we'll see next week.

Thus far this looks like a disturbingly decent football matchup.

If I didn't care about either team I would be somewhat enjoying this game.

This game has had a funky rhythm… but I'm still hopeful our offense can get clicking and we can cover the original 13 point spread. Although I didn't place a spread bet on this one.

Too soon for ROI. But it's basically a write off loss I'm sure after it all

I wanted Napier. I can't explain his failure at Florida other than he took a student athlete from ULL as his DC. Stupid stupid. Sounds like something we'd do.

We're getting out of position on the option pitch. We're getting suck inside which has opened up outside lanes. We're handling the FB Dive and QB power just fine.

I have said since the offseason that I'm worried about the AF game. It's a weird thing for D to adjust to, regardless of how many guys are returning to the starting lineup.

We're about to find out how well Baylor can make in-game adjustments.

Colorado is getting shut out by CSU heading into the second quarter. It's probably time to stop talking about that offense like it's something special.

I agree with you schematically, though. Any game against option offense is a one-off experience. There's nothing you can take from it going forward.

Ok. We've established they can't pass and they don't have a kicker.

If we don't win this game Mack should have a press release out tonight saying Aranda has been dismissed.

And held up well. They've bent some, but haven't broken.

I continue to be proud of our defensive effort. Those dudes play really hard.
