Really hard to tell this game. Feels like their coaching staff is elite but they got a Ferrari engine in a crown Vic.

Not sure if we are sucking sometimes or they are forcing some of our errors. I know Teague had a video before the game where their DC’s bread and butter is basically stunts and odd pressures on 2nd and 3rd down.

They are a veteran team. Most of their guys are 3, 4, or 5 year players.

Not half as good as people here will try to hype them up to be.

They are not good. We just have shitty coaching that doesn't hold anyone accountable for anything. Prime example is Ryan Williams...

ECU is one of the best g5 teams. They won 9 games last year and improved their offense by adding the OC of the most productive offense in the country last season plus a handful of their players.

So why are we paying ECU $1.5 Mil to play us, Francis?

Because we needed a cupcake while we work out the kinks. And there’s a lot of kinks in this offense

Grubb is the reason for that...

He’s part of the problem. O-line looks to be slightly better, but there was a lot of missed assignments. Watched our left tackle go block the middle linebacker and let the end and outside backer go right by him, on a passing play. Center got pushed back a couple times, But we looked better running the ball. I agree the play calling wasn’t great, but maybe we’re still in practice mode.

They’ll probably end up winning 8 or 9 games. Good young coach. He won’t be there too much longer.

They were dogshit. But we're also a really talented team. We can obviously play with anyone in the country. We just need to clean everything up and get a lot better at executing in order to have the kind of season we want.
