They're good, for sure. Need a line to run behind, though.

The OL looked much, much better than at any other point last season. Run blocking, pulling, pass protection, getting to the 2nd and 3rd level on run plays all took a major step forward.

OL looks better than all of us thought they would and the secondary struggled more than we thought they would. Bowling Green has a good little squad though fwiw. They should compete for their conference championship and a 9 win season as long as their QB doesn't get hurt. They'll end up beating 2 or 3 of the weaker P5 teams they play (Purdue, Maryland, and Indiana?) They were far from a New Mexico State or UTEP type cupcake game.

We've got some things to work on at MLB and in the secondary. The offense looked the best it's been since Butch has been here though IMO. The vertical game looked good for being so vanilla and the scheme itself reminded me more of the power spread that Ohio St runs compared to what we ran last year under Bajakian. Offense and special teams took a major step forward while the D definitely needs some work. Credit that offense and speed at which they operate though. That should be the fastest offense that we see all year (3rd fastest at snapping the ball in the country up with Oregon)
