Hard to tell getting blown out yet again. I'll hope to see the improvement against lesser competition that will hopefully result in wins.

I don't like it, but as long as we're going to play around with nonsense alternate uniforms, the boys might as well learn wi win in them.

Because we as fans should let the team wear whatever makes them excited and quit bringing up times 30 plus years ago like the uniforms had anything to do with how the games turned out.

The Redcoats were intimidating as is and didn't change to all Red on skirmish day.

Bad choice and ugly. For those old enough to remember, we got Irvin Fryar out of New Jersey because he looked better in our uniforms than the ugly Penn State uniforms. Why change for the sake of change when you have the better all ready in place. Sounds like the management of Cracker Barrel.

Because the poll was still open on the Monday after the game... And I could not see the percentages without voting.

They have the talent, they need to take the step of winning the games they should win in the manner they should win them. Don’t play down to the level of the opponent.

We haven't seen enough of what this team can really do to give that kind of spread.

I do not believe some of the glaring problems with the run defense have not been fixed, and Akron will exploit them.

The D-line against Cincy wasn't overly impressive, our run game was relatively unproductive, and we had some lucky breaks (even if good play contributed). The next two weeks will be important for closing gaps; I don't think we'll wallop Akron quite by 30+ points. I'm guessing we end up 17

Liked what I saw.
ReplyDidn't get man handled like last year. S&C is finally paying dividends. We still need to clean up things in the area of penalties and execution.
ReplyTeam looked bigger. Offensive line seems stronger. A few playmakers on both sides. Not real crazy about playing so soft in defensive backfield but guess they did not want to get beat deep. Hopeful!
ReplyEffort - they played hard till the end, which they haven't always done the last two years.
ReplyWe saw for the first time in years our players showing they can play with anybody. We need some running backs, but then we are good to go.
ReplyProgress was there in terms of tackling, O/D line play, good offense decision making, and overall depth. No progress in turnovers and bad penalties and being our own worst enemy.
ReplyI see hope. Let's add consistency to hope and we should turn some heads this year. We need to stop the mental errors (time mgmt, fumbles, penalties). There is no margin of error. Fix these =Progress
ReplyEven the announcers who normally hate us saw progress. Nebraska won the trenches half of the time, offense got north and south quick, linebacker play was solid finally. This team is much improved
ReplyCould have been 38-31. Should have been 45-31. But was 52-17. For every 10 good snaps there's always one drive killer. Glad that the offense went North to south and limited the sideline play. GBR
ReplyIt's all about the big uglies in the trenches, and they have vastly improved.
ReplyProgress is there but quite honestly the celebrating of moral victories against upper echelon teams is getting a bit tired. 52 -17 is 52-17. Its a thrashing.
