Honestly pretty positive moving forward. A couple of notes:
1. That one drive where they converted two fourth downs was critical. Mobile qb on busted plays was huge. Pass rush wasn’t fantastic but also wasn’t terrible. Getting Byron young back will be big. We won’t see many qbs as good as that guy. Penalties also extended a ton of their drives. Actually thought the defense played really well, especially considering the tough position they were in half the time. Maybe two drives where they didn’t look good.
2. Milton getting hurt really hurt us in the second quarter. Not because he was good, but because it disrupted our rhythm, flow and plycalling. Hooker had to come in cold and adjust. Coaches had to adjust play calling on the fly. Caused a lot of our offensive dysfunction which they obviously capabilized big time in 2nd quarter. If hooker starts the whole game, or Milton doesn’t get hurt, second quarter is much less disastrous. Also defense got shook a bit from a confidence standpoint with the change at qb I think. Where they gave up the two drives where they didn’t look too hot.
3. Missed cooper and the rbs a ton in the run game. When they come back, we will be much better. Freshman Rb is going to be good, but can tell he is a frosh.
4. Our receivers look great. Get callalwy the ball way more. Dude has open field skills. Tillman is a beast. Hyatt got a concussion, which is why he dropped it. He will come back and play great, I’m confident.
5. Banks makes a dumb play or two, but he also makes great plays. He shows up on the field. If he can cut out dumbe penalties, dude is going to be a player this year. Never hear much from Mitchell…..
6. They had 16 super seniors. We have guys in a new system. Keep that in mind. Our guys will continue to get better every week.
7. I am concerned with our OL interior in sec play…
8. Overall we played much harder than we have since 2015. We looked extremely smart from a scheme standpoint on both sides of the ball. Gives me faith in the coaches. Just need the players to execute better and cut down on mistakes. We are going to upset a team or two this year. Will get better every week.
