Pretty poor 1st qtr for the pokes…
O:
- Surprised to see Rengel with the start, but overall I like him as a player.
- The pick was a bad decision, but he came back
D:
- pretty clear it has been decimated from last years graduates and transfers
Definitely a lot of growing pains. Not surprising, with all the turnover.
O-State 3rd qtr:
O:
- first drive started off great, injury time out seemed to snuff out the momentum
- switched to gunnar, not sure if we needed to do that at this point in the game. I like gunnar but we need some consistency
SP:
- the FG coverage has been phenomenal. One block in the 2nd qtr and maybe another in the 3rd? looked close. After commercial, kick looked just rushed.
- Once again punting is damn good, pinned @ the 5 yard line.
D:
- UCA’s first drive … We can’t tackle at ALL!
- Couple Tips this game at the line has been nice
- 2 sacks in UCA first drive
- UCA 2nd drive … chunk play after chunk play… We sucked ass this drive… embarassing.
Over all our D sucked this qtr, and the O cant get any sustained momentum going. Not looking good for the 4th
I don’t have much to say on the game as my kitchen doesn’t have a view of the TV and I was cooking some chicken fried steak for some friends, but I heard that Gunnar and Rangel are both great this year and I’m hoping that we can somehow utilize both. In an ideal world, we’d have two all-star quarterbacks that can be slotted in and out when we need to.
It sounds like our defense was mid at best, our O-line is mid, and our special teams is still great. I’m hoping that the score here was just the first-game jitters and us trying out every player we had which would hurt the consistency. Hopefully, going forward we don’t have any issues and we win it all.
Unrelated note, I miss flairs from /r/CFB. I can’t tell if I should hate someone or not without them.
and we win it all.
How about settling for conference runner ups, with a dominant win over the land thieves? Actually, I’d rather not face you guys in the Big XII CCG. Every time we play, I feel like it sends both fan bases into cardiac arrest and scores of players on both sides wind up injured.

Same. This is a feature that’s been requested and the Lemmy developers seem open to implementing it, but I don’t expect it to happen soon.
O-State 2nd qtr:
O:
- 3 and outs need to stop. First drive of the qtr was a huge bust with Rengel.
- Alan BOWMAN!!! LETS FING GOOO! Not the best first drive, but some nice 1st down passes when we needed them. I smell potential.
- AB’s second drive… Great passes, but THE DAMN DROPS!!! WTF!!!
- AB drive after fumble was meh at best… almost picked twice
SP:
- Robinson kid CAN KICK! holy crap, especially for someone who has never kicked prior to this year?
- Punt and Kick coverage seems to be on point again this year which is good.
- Hitting FGs is good atleast
D:
- played much better this qtr, still need some gelling this year
- TFL and Sack on UCA 2nd drive was very nice
- TFL and Sack on UCA 3rd drive, but let a huge pass through
- FORCED FUMBLE!!! LFG!!! and… it wasn’t payed off by offense, damn
Overall taking the lead into the half is good! Against an FCS team though? Im still worried about this season as a whole. We need waay more offensive success.
UCA starts the second half with the ball
I haven’t been able to watch, so I appreciate the detailed write up.
Against an FCS team though?
Yeah, not ideal. But it’s week one and this team I expect needs more time to build chemistry with all the transfers
