Still not a fan of the zubaz sleeves.
Hell of a turnaround from the 1st quarter. Was looking like more of the same there for a bit, but appears to have been nothing more than first game jitters. Go Deacs.
Or we put in a walk-on like Grobe did against Miami in 2009 when Skinner got injured. Ugh.
he was the second best qb on the roster.
Hinton can always RS next year if Wolford is the starter and stays healthy next season.
Bro ….2 Freshman
Offensive Tackles …. Gonna get worked
Just got back, we have some nice young weapons on offense and a guy taking snaps that can really deliver accurate balls, IF he has time to do it. The big problem area on offense is of course the line. I like the look of Haynes and Herron at the tackles, having 2 young tackles that will only get better is a good foundation to build a good O-line, but right now we still don't open holes consistently for the backs and I was disappointed Elon got as much pressure on Wofford as they did. The O-line will have to play much better starting at Cuse for us to be able have success.
Defensively I thought we played well. I wish the pass rush had been a bit better, but it was good to Harris out there tonight. For the most part we controlled the LOS pretty well, but we must get better as the competition goes up a lot. I was pleasantly surprised by our corners tonight. Elon tested them and our corners stayed in Elon's receivers hip pockets and made good plays on several balls. Of course they will get much stiffer tests going forward.
Kinal is Kinal, Weaver did a pretty good job on kick offs and kick coverage still makes me nervous. All in all a good positive opener, but we'll learn a lot more a week from Saturday.
Oh yeah, was really glad to see Clawson use a rare blowout in our favor as an opportunity to get our backup some quality time running the offense, instead of just using the backup to turn and hand the ball off over and over again. Hinton looks like he could develop into a real dual threat at QB.
The OL is still our most threatening weakness.
I dig 'em. Gives us a pretty unique look that'll resonate with recruits.Still not a fan of the zubaz sleeves.
Lots of good signs but lets see how we do in the Carrier Dome
Thoughts on burning Hinton's red shirt?
Incredible oxymoron.
