The first half was flat out horrible for both the offense and D. Looked like the only played that should be in the Heisman talk with Gurley is Melvin Gordon. Kid is a stud. Period. Every D in the SEC would have a hard time with him. He's a 1st round NFL back. Period. Speed, burst, balance, vision, patience, can break tackles and make people miss, etc. He is a stud.

We were beat in every phase of the game in the 1st half, and some of the 3rd. Then all of a sudden, the light switch went on. And we started taking it to Wisky and wore them down.

The fake punt was the game changing call IMO. And then Jennings found some confidence and a connection with Dural and started exploiting it. Im not surprised that Dural had that big of a night... hes very talented with great speed and is a natural WR out there. Hes a stud. And Diarse had the play of the game... That was a great TD run. Trey Quinn was impressive as a freshman. The moment didnt look too big for him and he was very comfortable out there, which is scary to think about. Gonna do big things for us. And when we get Dupre back, this good WR group just gets even better.

LF looked like a man when he had his hands in the ball... But wasn't the main RB like we all thought. But the talent and strength is obvious. The biggest thing he needs to work on is his vision, but the raw talent is most def there. Another freshman that impressed me was Godchaux. I loved him in the recruiting process and thought he had the potential to be a great DL one day... But was worried about him vs Wisky. And he held his own. He made some mistakes and missed some tackles, but he flashed on the screen and was extremely disruptive and explosive. Hes built like an NFL DL and is all muscle and very athletic. Hes going to be a great DL for us. And it was obvious we missed Bain. Bain and Godchaux could be our best DTs.

Kwon is our best player on D. Period. Dont think its that close either. Always on the ball. Hunter has a lot of bark with little bite. Has trouble recognizing certain plays and fakes, but when he sees it correctly nobody can stop him from making the play. Rasco played very well. Welter is still Welter... just blah. Beckwith needs more PT.

Our DBs are nasty. We had a makeshift DBfield last night and thought all were solid. Got beat some, but came back and made plays. Dwayne Thomas #13 needs to be on the field more. Period. Dude just has a knack for making plays. Mills INT was a thing of beauty. And loved seeing Ronald Martin have a good game, had a tough year last year switching to FS and with the loss of his father early in the season and then being injured and hes received a lot of hate on here, but I have always had faith in Martin. Hes an amazing athlete and is back at the SS spot which is his natural position. Hes a good player.

Finally, the QB spot. I don't mind giving Harris a series here and there... But show me something more than the option and draw. I wanna see him sling it because he's got the arm to make every pass in the book. 1st half, Jennings was playing not to lose the game and was very reserved. 2nd half, Jennings opened up way more and took control. He played to win in the 2nd half. Loved the 2nd half Jennings. And looked really good when we had some PA rollouts for him. If we can get 2nd half Jennings for the season, it will be a great year. If we get 1st half Jennings, might as well let Harris play. But loved 2nd half Jennings and hopefully he found some confidence after coming back and plays like that the rest of the season.

And I loved how we rallied as a team. The older players get along with the youngsters and help them a lot, and the youngsters look up and learn from the vets and have no problem taking a back seat and learning from them. They are a close knit group and it's gonna be great to watch them grow. This was a great test for a young team and you gotta love the resolve this team had to come back from 17 down. Thats a game we can build from both mentally and physically.

Looked like shite half the game and our youth was obvious. But our talent was obvious in the later part of the game. Play calling made me wanna puke at some moments, and made me smile at other moments. I hope we realize what we have and continue to build on that because once this team figures it out, they can be a special group.

Melvin Gordon... You are a stud and if healthy, should have gotten more than 2-3 carries the entire 2nd half. Thats a headscratcher. He's better than advertised and was the best player on the field. Gonna do big things in the NFL.

Finally... I'm usually always for a disciplined, fundamental style of play... But with this team, I say just cut them loose. Young, talented and very fast. Its gonna be a fun and very exciting season and Im looking forward to the ride
