After returning home from Austin and having some time to digest the first game, I have a few thoughts.
1. I am not sure we would know anymore about how good this team will be had we beat Wyoming 50-0. With that said I saw more positives then negatives last night.
2. The true freshmen played about how you would expect them to play in their first game. I expect the game to slow down for them in a few weeks. One player who stood out to me was Dalton Santos he is going to be a beast.
3. David Ash has improved. I was more impressed with him throwing the ball away instead of forcing it then anything else I saw.. This at least gives the offense another chance the next play instead of committing a turnover.
4.The defense will get much better, The speed on that side of the ball is very evident. If you do not have a mobile QB this defense is going to destroy you.
5. The OL I felt performed well at times. I think the vertical passing game has got to improve so teams do not stack 8 in the box.
6. Mack Brown appeared to be much more involved on the sideline and had some fire in hm. I like that a lot.
7. Brown is going to have a big year rushing if he can stay healthy. He has great balance & vision. Looks like he got his burst back as well.
8. The overall team attitude and excitement appears to be real good. We have not had that in a while.
9. Not sure what this all means or how many games we will eventually win. But far as me I am excited about what I was.
10. Right now in college football it's Alabama on it's own planet and then everyone else. They are light years ahead of everyone in regard to talent, coaching, and winning attitude. I hate to say this because I hate Bama. But it is what it is right now.
