It felt good to be back in the dome for the first game. I like to get there early to watch the team warm up. I got to watch Coach Petro work with the defense. He had the D moving non-stop, which was nice the see. I didn't realize that was a preview of what was to come. Some game observations:

1.The up tempo play was what I was hoping for, but would have liked to see more two-way the middie play. There was a great deal more ball movement than last year which was good to see, more cutters, fewer ISOs ... good signs.
2. Considerably more off ball movement, and the Defense disrupted the passing lanes a number of times. Both defense and offense never stopped moving ... all good
3. Passing wasn't sloppy but many of the passes were either too low or too high. The turnovers were very low until the fourth quarter. Much of which can be explained to first game rust and the ample substitutions ...

Overall we looked much sharper and more agressive than I've seen in quite some time. It was great to see so many players get playing time. That will pay dividends later on this season.
