Post yours here.

I just finished watching the game for the 2nd time, thanks to DVR, slo-mo, and freeze frame, here's my new takeaways:

-Where the hell was Larry Porter? Never saw the guy, he's usually right beside Miles on the sideline.
-Why was KW so confused in the 1st half in the backfield? (holding up his hands)
-Ciron and JJ kidding around after the game (making up for yelling at each other on the field, a good sign)
-Cutrera was lights fricking out. That kid played a great football game, so did the other LB's.
-Chris Hawkins is a liability on the field and can't shed a block to save his life.
-RR made a great block to spring KW for an extra 10 yards on the last drive of the game.
-Ryan Baker is a beast on ST's.
-JJ is one tough QB and a real player. He sacrificed his body several times for 1st downs.
-Chad Jones and Chancy Aghaherye played out of postion for most of the entire 2nd half. Neither of them looked like they knew what was going on.
-Drake Nevis has a great bull rush.
-Rahim Alem has one move on the football field, and it is usually not the right one.
-PP will be an All American at LSU.
- Trindon should never, ever receive a handoff in the backfield as a tailback. That play should be destroyed.
-T Bob and Barksdale were left standing upright by themselves on way too many plays, indicating that they were not staying with their blocks.

Bottom line 2nd viewing.

The offense looked better than I thought. The defense looked slightly worse, but improved in the 2nd half. The coaching and play calling were piss poor.

Funny, but I saw a bull rush, a speed rush, and a spin move on three consecutive plays when he was lined up at LDE on the last drive.

The rest of your post was very good though, except for Trindon. Throw the ball downfield, and it will open up for him.

I def don't think everyone should be as worried as they are after watching it again. Honestly, from the middle of the 3rd quarter to the end it didn't even look like a contest.

Just a slow start, we'll be fine!

This was obvious to me as well.

If not for the Trindon run play, we don't get the perfect set on the PA to him followed by the swing pass to Toliver for the TD.

The playcalling was bad for most of the game, but it showed flashes. It's a first game, and the team will improve.
