I haven't read all the posts here, and I am sure it's been brought up multiple times, but penalties. One fricking penalty. It was a dumb one and should have never happened, but one fricking penalty. That is the biggest stat to me. We have a ton of youth and struggled where we expexted to. I can live with all of that though. Fulwood's drop was painful and I wish Grier would have protected the ball he fumbled. Line has some work to do but it will come together over time. TEs looked like a strength. Never would have thought it since Reed left. Grier's got a cannon and his thought process is lightning quick. Very happy with Treon and would not be upset at all if Mac thought he should be the guy. That said, I think it has to be Grier. Cronkrite was more impressive than Scarlet, but both of those guys look to be more than serviceable sec backs. D didn't seem locked in, but I was happy with the play of Tabor, Anzalone, and CeCe. CeCe is retard strong. Literally picked up and tossed their RT to the side. Safety position will improve next week and hopefully the D will come out wanting to prove something next week. Special teams did very well aside from the blocked PAT. No complaints there. Again, one fricking penalty. The oline, in all their youth, did not have one false start. That is confidence, coaching, and a reflection of the staff that is in place. It was New Mexico St and I am a realist, but my main thing this year is not win totals, but progress. This team, especially the offense, impressed me with how much they have taken in in such a short time. Mac has my attention and support. We didn't do anything crazy, but you don't have to to be successful. Its about execution. If you execute your play, you will move the ball. They did that, and I like what I see. Get ready ecu, you're second dose is going to be much stronger.
