Watched game finally.
Bad:
Foy missed 2 to 3 blocks. Gully 2 drops. Lynch with chance to pick bats down ball. Smith fumble. Bad snap on punt. Holding call on punt gave PSU extra 8 yards when they kicked 35 yard fg. Plays coming in, players not getting to the line until 15 seconds or so. Allen/receivers not quite in sink. Reddish not scoring. Allen not reading D and holding ball for runs. Burned for 2 long pass plays. The freakon constant tripping/sliding over/on the turf, what is the deal with that. Wales with one catch. Still not sure we can stop that 3/4 wide screen.
Good:
Inside defensive holding the line. Getting turnovers. Great vs run. Welsh all around plus showing some pretty good hands. Flemmings hands. The punters. Desir's hands on that punt interference that wasn't called. Morris on kickoffs. Broyld with the ball. Reddish strip and picking up the ball. Active lb's, especially Lynch. Played hard start to finish and didn't look winded even though hot as hell.
I saw a lot of good things in this game and considering all the new moving parts they weren't nearly as bad as it sounded like on the radio. A lot of teaching moments for all involved,...players and staff. Allen throws a nice ball and once he gets the timing down with these receivers this offense will be very good. Allen threw a Nassib to AB on a slant that yes could have been caught but should have been thrown softer. Some growing pains with Robinson/Foy and at this point I have more faith in Robinson improving. Interior d-line didn't get a lot of push but they didn't get pushed around either so holding their own against a solid o-line was impressive.
I like this team a lot, they are going to have a good year.
