[*]Can't get down 17 - 0 against a good opponent.

[*]Very difficult to match pace when you repeatedly shoot yourself in the foot with turnovers, penalties, etc.

[*]The most positive things I saw were on offense.  Willis is a beast, Cook will be a problem for opponents, JRS played well against NFL prospects, and Russell flashed.  Villari showed he could catch, and Nixon looked fully recovered.  Lots of weapons.

[*]OL struggled [again, against a defense laden with blue chip players], but showed that they could run block.  Need to do better pass blocking, to give Angeli more time.

[*]I think Steve had a pretty good outing, despite constant pressure.  If the OL can iron things out, I think we can score a lot of points this year.  Tough to excel when the OL is a sieve, and you are facing such a strong defense in your first start [at SU].  He showed some poise, but also made some mistakes.

Samuel got toasted.  Hope that this is a learning experience, and if he's a better player by ~game 4, then taking his lumps early will be worth it.

[*]Carry over from last year, but I am just not convinced that ERob is the right guy for a coordinator role.  I know he's Fran's friend from HS and a highly regarded recruiter, but I think we need better.

[*]Transfer LB looked terrific, IMO.

[*]Lack of pass rush is a big, big problem.  For the second consecutive year.  We have quality depth / talent at many positional units, and the talent overall across the roster has been upgraded by Fran and the staff, but not at DE. It is a problem.

[*]Sure would have been nice to have a tune-up game.  Take note, athletic department.
