    We have serious problems on the o line and special teams, but I love what we're doing with the offense. The variety. Penix is everything I hoped he'd be.

    We will struggle to run against physical teams.

    Agree with all of this. Will add that the defense needs to get much better fundamentally. Very poor tackling, poor pass coverage, players out of position, etc. What should have been a number of three and outs were allowed to be 3rd down conversions, more than a few 3rd and longs, against a MAC team. Not good.

    On the positive side, Penix looked great, the passing game in general looked very good, they really spread the ball around and made it look natural. This was the first scrimmage, they have one more before they're really tested. This could be a good team if they can shore up the defense and special teams. Teams often realize their greatest improvement from game one to game two, could be perfect timing/scheduling for the showdown against MSU. Or not.

    coach since James. Was Jens 4th choice (Aranda, Clawson, and Campbell) NIL still a joke but finding myself liking this guy more and more. It's Kent State, but still. Don't give a fuck, you win 90%+ at any level you're a dude.

    Didn't take long for the dooging to start.

    This feels like a Texas high school game
    I’m at the game. Texas high school games are better attended than this.

    What you’re seeing and hearing is not what’s happening. #trumpism #takeittothetug

    This doesn’t happen without good OL play, primarily in the pass game. Therefore, you don’t agree with all of what DJ said (ILTCHDJ).

    Pass protect was good. Run blocking was not good, definitely falls in the category of a serious problem. I assumed this is what Derek was referring to.

    Greg Lewis said it best on Honks. Grubb/KD want to run it/be successful just enough to keeps the D honest. We go as far as Penix can throw us.

    Rush D is concerning especially on edges. After Portland State scrimmage next two weeks will tell us much more as Sparty and Shaw will have zero problem 3/4/4 yards runs all night long keeping Offense off field, limiting possessions.

    Big picture is this staff believes if they can get into high 30's, low 40's ppg, on defense if they can get 1-2 stops per half mission accomplished and they believe taking chances will result in a higher % of a sack/turnover/holding penalty killing that drive.
