Thoughts After Week Two

Here’s a penny, and now my two cents.

Almost won a game that had 2 run backs, 2 of the D best players ejected, lost turnover margin by 2, lost the starting QB and start B.B., on the road, in 100 degree index, with a brand new defense, and the game game down to a penalty on holding that was a lot less worse than I saw all game.

The O can score. The loss of KB will hurt as he was a strong runner and blocker. PJ will learn quick. Howard is working on his blocking.

The defense can be scored against. At least I can see what the defense is trying to do and if the guys do their assignments it will get better.

Special teams needs experience like the O and the D. You would expect bad things if half your O or D had no experience. I hope CPJ stops it from being a place to play if you are not playing O and D. Rotate 1 or 2 new people in for experience. Hopefully the kicking game will continue to improve.

Regarding S/T - was watching part is season opener between bama & Lville. Bama - freaking loaded with talent ALABAMA , had some starters on S/T!

We know bama has tons of talent sitting on the bench, but their coach is sending the message "if you cant do the job i will find someone who can"

Now the cry will be raised we cant afford to get a starter hurt on ST. Hell, our starters are dropping in their regular positions.

Put the best players on the field. Start coaching them up.

And stop recruiting guys so anxious to use us, graduate and leave the school short in 3 years.

Recruit guys that want to win for 4 years AND graduate.
 
3- Losing to USF probably ended any chance we could make the BCS playoffs

After 2 games.

I like what I’m seeing from Curry, Juanyeh, Riviera, Parker Braun, and the D line.

I think Marshall’s ceiling is higher than I thought.

The defense isn’t as universally aggressive as I thought it would be, but I think the scheme is still an improvement.

The Abacks blocking has been great, should see lots of big plays to the outside.

Adidas uniforms are good to quite good.

They say you make the most progress btw week one & two. But, I think that's only true, if you get a look at your weaknesses in wk one. Obviously, Alcorn State was too weak a team to show us the weakness we needed to work on, esp on defense & special teams. So, really, we should make out most progress btw USF & Pitt.

I hope we're not having this same conversation next week saying our biggest improvement should be between 3 and 4. :-)
