1. The QB situation. Grier looks special. There were times tonight where he read the defense and knew exactly where to go with the football. Nussy wasn't lying when he said Grier could get to his 4th option. Grier was beating the blitz before the snap. Treon looks good too. We are in good shape.
2. Alex Anzalone. was all over the field tonight. He looked so fast I was amazed. I can understand why the coaches were praising him so highly. If he stays healthy, he'll be a beast this year.
3. The offensive line was bad tonight. The stunting NMSU did early really confused the line. The interior guys got beat straight up at number of times. The run blocking was not impressive to me. This unit needs to gel. I actually think that was the biggest problem. No need to panic though. This line will get better. I was very pleased with the play on the young guys, Fred Johnson in particular.
4. Taven Bryan will be a star if he ever gets the mental side of the game right. On one play, he was double teamed and moved both the center and guard back into the QB. Cece's strength was impressive as well. Still, we were over pursuing all night. That needs to get fixed.
5. Coach Mac vs. Muschump. I saw guys getting the ball that weren't getting it under Chump because they couldn't block. Coach Mac has stated those same guys can't block either, but he believes in spreading the ball around.
6. I've been watching gator football for years. I honestly can't remember a game with so few penalties. Things like that reflect on the coach. It seems Coach Mac knows how to get his players to play calm, disciplined football.
Those are just some thoughts I had after the game. I'm excited about gator football again. It seems Coach Mac is the guy to get us back on top.
