I didn't watch all of the game, other plans on Saturday.  Watched the first half on DVR last night, and I thought the OL looked pretty good.  They were driving Tulane's D backwards and with a bit better vision by the RBs could have been some huge gains.  So I was surprised to see some of the negative comments.  Of course, I haven't watched the 2nd half yet, where our offense completely shut down.  Might not watch that.

The atmosphere at that game was so depressing on TV.  The pbp guy was ok, the analyst was horrible and sleepy.  And because the camera shoots toward the SU sideline you felt like Tulane didn't have a fan there.  Another reason why I don't want to watch the 2nd half, felt like a scrimmage, and I'm sure that can be tough on the players to keep motivated.  Not an excuse but still, that probably shouldn't be a 1A team.

The use of Dorian Graham in the first half was my favorite part of the game.  Fast guy, get him in space, let him make plays.  And that first TD shows how far he's come at this position..  Now figure out a way to work in Kobena, get him more reps, get him more comfortable catching ball.   Keep Lemon in the slot, plays that role well.  Keep working West in as a physical outside WR.

Rene looked quick.  AAM looks fast enough to run the ball at that weight.  But he better figure out who to pick up on a blitz.  That's why he doesn't play more, Marrone said he told the RBs that if they can't block they won't see the field.

Tough day for the D, but Tulane did a lot of things outside their offense to combat their aggression in the first half, and I assume the second half as well.  Great gameplan as Rahme mentioned.  Going to have an even rougher night against WVU, but I think they'll still be better down the stretch.
