So, even though we got crushed, there were positives:
1. Our defense played one hell of a game. They were absolutely nasty, I was impressed with the D-line, linebackers (especially the play of Jack Tyler), and our secondary with all those young guys.
2. Our offensive line played really well, it looks like Grimes has done a hell of a job with them. I don't think we gave up a sack, they kept the pressure off LT for the most part.They also opened up some nice holes for Edmunds.
3. Trey Edmunds really impressed me, he looked really explosive, and i like the way he hits an open hole, I think he's our next great RB.
Negatives:
1. Our receivers played horribly, way too many dropped passes. LT didn't play great, but he threw a lot of catchable balls that were dropped. I don't think Knowles should be a starting WR.
2. Specials teams coverage was absolutely pathetic. 2 td's given up is unacceptable.
Overall I think if the receivers and LT can somehow get into sync, and we tighten up our special teams coverage, we'll be ok. We should be able to win every other game on our schedules except maybe UNC/Miami.
