App may have kept Drinkwitz playback but they sure haven't been able to use it the same way. This is a return to 2014, it seems, where the offense was trying to get things figured out for a while. There is no flow, a lot of play calls against a Cover 2 or 3 defense didn't make sense.

Marshall had a bye week, App is on Week 2 with a new coordinator on offense, for the third year in a row. Sutton is missing and that breakaway speed and/or power that Cox/Moore/Evans had is gone.

Things should get better as the year goes along but right now it seems like the coaching staff is trying to figure it out.

Marshall was the better team offensively and App made mistakes they couldn't overcome.
