I thought we looked good to start, then it went downhill. Riley is a good QB, but he needs to stop staring down the receivers he intends to throw to, sometimes it seemed like he made up his mind before the ball was even snapped. This will get better though, and he will make better decisions with more experience. He had to have been a bit nervous.

The O-line is what really has me nervous. They didn't look very good at all. At one point we had rushed 25 times for 35 yards, or something like that. That's terrible, and won't do against stiffer competition.

Defense looks much improved, pretty aggressive. Need to wrap up better obviously, and I am sure they will work on that since we have a bye-week coming up.

Receivers looked pretty darn good to me. Don't think we have to worry about them at all, just so deep there. We know what Dorland is capable of, and Henderson is great coming out of the backfield to catch some TD's. Taylor seems like a beast lol.

I understand that it was a new QB, new coach, new system, etc. We didn't look terrible, but luckily there is some time to work out the kinks before Kansas. I am sure they will learn from the mistakes and make improvements. Let's see what happens in 2 weeks, but good start! Go Tigers.

We were down a few players and went pretty vanilla on both sides of the ball. As a fan, I'm not the least bit worried.

The offense in particular the run offense seemed very bland. I didn't see any screens or 2 back sets. Maybe I missed them.
Defense wasn't as aggressive as I was expecting and didn't create a single turnover. A lot of work still to do before next game.

the offensive line had some guys playing out of position tonight. Saw Tom Schad tweet that.

Good point, we didn't play Dillon, Robinson, or Craft off the top of my head. I'd have to think we held way back. Just a few things that can be fixed, I hope. I'm not too worried myself, but we do need to improve, obviously. Either way, glad we are 1-0 and good for Coach Norvell and the team.

Are they a football school now?

I'm worried for Kansas. Their students stormed the field after beating powerhouse Rhode Island

I saw that. Apparently the PA announcer told them to please go back to the stands, for respect of the program.

Did all 16 students there storm the field? I hope the kids from Rhode Island made it out of there before someone got seriously injured.

When Memphis finishes with them, Kansas will be nothing but Dust in the Wind.

Who knows anymore?

KU will be much better than they were last year....of course they were winless last year so they have to improve...but believe they will be much better, second year under a coach helps a lot. Will be much better than SEMO.

However, every game is its own, and would be surprised if we do not play better for longer than we did tonight. Memphis by 14.
