Higgins has to attack on the fourth and one and not wait on the runner

 

[hawkinn3]

The chicken man kicks it thru

 

[BigD]

You can see a drop off at the linebacker position but it’s game one and there is plenty of time to learn and grow.

If you predicted Higgins will lead the team in tackles you are off to a good start.

 

[BigD]

Getting punched in the mouth by one of the worst offenses in the country.

Honestly, this is a concern. The offense APPEARS to be better, but defense looks like it has dropped off, UNLESS the emotion has worn off and the boys are already letting up. Hopefully it’s the latter.

It is unfair to expect Higgins/Jackson to be Campbell/Benson.

 

[hawkinn3]

The crowd is getting a little “this shit again?” already.

 

[hawkinn3]

we’re being outplayed in several aspects of this game

I am not saying that but this isn’t a big ten team we ar playing here. This team we ar replaying is like a scrapped together at the last moment type of the team.

 

[hawkinn3]

These guys are wide open, embarrassing.

I am hoping Parker is playing conservative like he usually does in the first half.

 

[hawkinn3]

Cade needs to throw before he’s open

 

[Seth53]

Yawn

 

[Hawkboys]

Still can't pick up a blitz

 

[hawkinn3]

You got me in the first quarter Brian, nicely done. But, here we are again.

 

[BigD]

What can you say about that sack? Cade should have seen that and called someone back to the backfield to help block. The numbers weren’t there for the amount of rushers.

 

[trj]

You guys are being too critical, give me this over that shitshow we saw against SDSU last year.

 

[NCHawker]

Oline not looking physical

 

[SCHawkeye2]

OL is sketchy thus far

 

[dagdaj]

The offensive line is massively better.
Probably twice as good as last year.

Unfortunately we can all do that math.
