Guess the crowd noise is causing all those false starts
From what I've seen, TTU is shifting quickly before the snap. Some of our less-experienced OL are jumping on those quick shifts. That's a week 1 problem. It'll get fixed.

Jackal, thought you felt OL was deep/ experienced (all been with the program a while) and cross trained in different positions. Do you think it’s just opening night jitters?

I don't read much into week 1 games.

As best I can tell, we currently have zero guys in the game playing where we thought they'd be in terms of the starting line. Toomey came out, Norman out, Johanning out. Hughes playing center, etc.

Some of the missed blocks on the edge have been our grad TE in his first D1 football game.

As usual, I'm a glass half full, but I'm not worried.
