Going into this game, I didn't figure on seeing many depth position players. I was surprised to see quite a few depth players on both sides of the ball. To me, that tells me their depth players have talent and that's a really good sign of things to come.

Offense.
I still think Mauk looked better than last year. His numbers may not represent that, but watching him, he really refrained from getting happy feet too much. His arm looked good. But I was glad to see him not run as much. I think it's something he can improve on. Lock. Wow what else can you say but legit. He looks like he's been here for three years already. Balls on target, calm and cool in the pocket, he looked awesome.

Glad to see they are using their TE more in the pass game and they are catching the ball.

O line play was disappointing. That's really the only way I can say it. Not good. Looked better in the 4th quarter. But as a whole, just not there.

RB's. I think Witter will improve along with the O line play. I think he is a good back. The defense was really crashing the line on runs today. Not easy to run for yards when the defense is keying on the run game like that. I think Hunt is just a fill in. Not bad but not good. Morgan though hasn't played for some time. There is rust to knock off. I think Steward will be a viable back, but they have to give him reps. I think he's playing a little cautious right now to. I think he'll be there sometime this year.

Receivers really impressed me today, probably because I've heard nothing but bad things and doom and gloom all summer. They will not catch every ball, and this is a young group. I liked seeing the ball spread around also. But overall, I think they had a decent day considering.

Defense.

What can you say? This defense is lights out. That D line is going to be in the heads of every team they play this year. They really turned it up in the second half. They absolutely shredded SEMO's offensive line. They beat their QB senseless. He had no fight left in him in the later part of the second half. They all looked impressive. Depth doesn't seem to be an issue right now either. Really don't have an opinion on the secondary because the D line was on top of the offense most the time. Brothers impressed me also. He seemed to be everywhere. They were playing SEC style defense and it showed. SEMO's offense looked frazzled at the end.

In the end, they should have scored more points but it is what it is. I'll reserve my enthusiasm until we get into conference play.
