I am bemused at some expectations for HCFB. His first game as a HC has to be viewed positively. He was within a point of covering the spread, ably managed the clock, never panicked and let his coaches coach. He was also not passive. When he had to waste a time out because it took too long for ST to get lined up He gave the STC what for.

After so many years of Villanova games it was satisfying to beat a team we were supposed to beat by the margin we should. Ohio is a good, well coached team and, in the final analysis, it was a good win.

It was the first game for everybody. New players, new coaches, new schemes even new seats! Glitches are to be expected. Easily could have been 45 points without that bad holding call  No way that is disappointing.

FB didn't get out coached, but some players didn't live up to expectations. Perhaps that can be said about the DC as well. FB did fine, especially for his first time out.

We will see what happens next week. The D will either see marked improvement  (noting Wax absence) or we may find out it is not as good as hoped. Either way  we should have a good season while building a solid base on which to build on. The recruiting is great and FB will only get better as  head coach
