4. It sucks, but I still think Bucky has done a hell of a job with what he walked into.
They have hit the ball hard on opening night. A number of outs were smoked.

It's only 1 game, but the vibes are good. And I really think having Pennington on board is going to pay huge dividends for us.
Evidently the remaining schedule left is rated as the 2nd most difficult in the country. We're going to know a whole lot more really quick. And I think this team is going to get an unexpected win or two as well.
You may be right about Mgbako

But yesterday was a good start for Bucky and the team in conference play.

Agree. We'll be ready.
It was very good yesterday to rest some key guys and empty the bench early and often. Mission accomplished.
I suspect that message is being taken to heart by the defense this week. They will be ready.
All I know is that I think we hired the right guy and the games will be exciting.

I only got to see parts of the game. But I saw a vastly improved WR corps and we were playing a competent opponent. After that TD run to start the 3rd qtr, the defense got the memo and played better.

The old saying is the most improvement comes between games 1 and 2. I want to see that.

Overall, from what I saw, was a typical opener. Some bright spots along with plenty to gripe about and plenty of room for improvement.
You might be right. Then again we might have been seeing the struggles of a guy in the first year as a head coach. If we suck next season, then I think we'll see a change.
Do what 18handicap is doing.

re: Mike Elko is a fat RC Slocum

He's got the defense playing like Slocum did.
DId we even run any play action at all?
Well it looks like Kash from Texas Tech is coming in and he was the #3 guy in the portal. Earley is going to start hot coming out of the gate it looks like.
So hiring a guy who was national assistant coach of the year in 2018 is a bad thing? It appears that he has a track record of getting the most out of what he has at his disposal. And here, he's going to have a lot to work with.

Timing was the issue. Money will not be. Lots of former players on Twitter indicating this is a very good hire.

I suspect the OU coach will be contacted
Heefner at DBU is another I would call
Wake Forest and UNC coaches as well


Presser was today. I suspect the plan for game 1 is Prager, Cortez, Aschenbeck. Not dissimilar to the approach vs Oregon in game 1.
