Good! Gotta believe OL Coach and Clay will have a lot of teachable moments on film to learn from.
Tennessee Tech - August 31
On the other hand, our defense looks incredibly fast and relentless. We could have the local pop warner team on offense if this is what we do on defense.
at 45-10 if u didnt see the game, its about what was expected scoring-wise
Ok. So Hughes is ok?.The Jackal wrote: ↑Thu Aug 31, 2023 9:58 pm
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.
Any word on Toomey or Norman ?!!!
Seems our D took advantage of TTU offensive mistakes. Gotta love our guys making the big plays. I’m a little concerned with some passing success their QB had who’s playing in his 1st college game.

On TV, looks like Norman has ice on his calf, but is still dressed in uniform.
yes and no. Yes, there were turnovers, but those turnovers were forced. Hard to throw accurately running for your life.
He attempted 38 passes for just over 200 yards and 3 picks.
TTU's former all american RB transfer had 19 yards rushing.
Norman had cramps. O looked out of sync D is going to be very good. Pessimists are in almost post season form! On to Columbia.

Anyone know of HUGHES Or Toomey?.. we need those guys
Um. A 35 point win with a gazillion turnovers. Granted most turnovers we caused as Jackal said … great. though one they just flat dropped in the backfield and gifted us. And most good teams won’t throw that many picks. That was getting just keystone cops by the end.
But you can’t really be pleased with our O for the first few quarters ? That was painful for a while. I do understand we lost OL but that was later. If we have the DEPTH and CROSS TRAINED OL we were told by CCH that didn’t look like it?
We will see. Hope we are healthy and beat KSU
Final score might be the the most deceiving score ever. 
21 points in the last 7.5 minutes and almost half of tbe FU offense. Without all the TO’s we woukd have been in trouble. Hope TTU turns out to be a good team. I’m not nearly as optimistic about the SC game as I was before tonight but we have a little time to get ready.
