[QUOTE="TrickySU, post: 11391"]
Here are some of my thoughts from the game.

Bad Things:
1. The offensive line was awful. Nassib was given no protection and we found it very hard to run the ball. I thought that the offensive line was supposed to be better and more experienced than last year but right now I just don't see it.

2. The defensive line is a problem. Nobody on the defensive line gets pressure on the quarterback. The only time we sack quarterbacks is when we blitz. Whenever we rush 3 or 4 guys the quarterback has all day to throw.

3. We found it hard to move the ball against Rhode Island. I think this statement speaks for itself.

Good things:
1. We have some young players and they are getting much needed experience. We should see much improvement throughout the year.

2. The defense only gave up 14 points so they didn't play horribly bad even though it was Rhode Island

3. We found a way to win the game and we are now 2-0
 
Overall the offensive and defensive lines need to improve. The defense kept Rhode Island in check, but the offense struggled. A win is a win no matter who it is against and some experienced was gained. Marrone knows what he needs to work on with this team and I have confidence that he will have this team ready for USC in a week.
