****OFFICIAL GAME WEEK THREAD Central Arkansas at Tulsa 9/1****
Football is here
The game:
UCA is a top 15/25 fcs team.
Tulsa was 2-10 last year.
I expect to see Tulsa come out and iron out the wrinkles and knock off the rust. Central Arkansas should make the Hurricane pay for any mistakes. I don't want to see Tulsa resorting to deception or trick plays for advantage. A solid defensive showing and an improved passing game are things I expect. Tulsa will hopefully be focused, get some good experience and start 2018 off positive.
Not a lot of info with it being a first game but hopefully we can begin to have good discussions about game issues through out the week before a game, injuries, possible coaching choices, attendance, predictions etc.
Tulsa wins by 17, skipper looks very comfortable and our defense gets some pressure is my prediction for week one.

Looks like our marketing department is getting things going the right way. After years of almost nothing and then some spurts here and there it has begun to feel like a concerted effort this year.
New game day items, upgrades, concerts, food, kids stuff:

Skipper named starter.
Hopefully the game has slowed down for him and his decision making continues to improve. Think we see a nice jump in his efficiancy which will really help the offense. Brooks will be a beast, he is only getting bigger and faster. This year will be an eye opener for the conference with him.

Will have to keep it going.
Need to have some good games and string those in to good years, but at least we're saying hey look over here.
Hope tomorrow is a solid defensive effort and an offensive show before the after game fireworks.

Weird game, but the craziness evened out.
Thought Skipper looked good, especially the second half throws. Taking too many hits though and needs to work on ball security. So do our receivers.
Defense was a nice surprise hope we see it that way all season long especially the strong stops on 3rd down. Getting off the field on the first try is huge for a defense and will pay off late in the season when the legs are getting worn.
On to Texas! /~\
