Positives \ Things to Build On

Was at the game and have watched the replay. Like others- I am feeling better than I did at 11:30 PST Sat night.
5 areas where we showed improvement over 2007:
1. QB. Jefferson managed the game unbelievably well. Not sure what it sounded like on TV- but this was an SEC road atmosphere and he handled it.
2. Turnovers. We won the TO battle and were in position for several more. When folks get more time in assignment (CJ, HC), should be even more productive. We had more tipped passes Sat night than all of 2007 it seemed.
3. Interior D Line. J Downs will be a player and Nevis had a great night. While there was limited push from CA and AW- both played solid against the run.
4. LBs- Locker runs a 4.4, and Riley, Cutrera, Sheppard, and Coleman did a decent job of containing him for all but the one 4th Qtr series.
5. WRs- made plays on the few balls that were thrown. Would expect we get the ball in their hands more in the future and hopefully throw more downfield.
Finally, all should recognize that all of the intangibles were against the Tigers and they persevered. Limited scouting, dreadful start time, and a renewed Husky atmosphere made for a tough opening game draw.
Vandy will tell us alot- and I think we will build on Sat's victory.

Did you lose a year somewhere?

Discipline: we were penalized less than I ever remember. For a first game, that is truly impressive. I remember in years past we were constantly flagged for failing to line up right, etc.
Toliver: showed some game-changing ability and appears ready to blossom into a playmaker.
Peterson: last year he was the best CB on the team and he had to learn on the job with a curve. His training is over and he appears ready to lock down his side of the field.

No comparison to 007 opener at Moo U...Should have been 2008...still recovering from the West Coast.

I agree with all of this.
Things to improve on:
Clock management
Pass rush
