I have fully cleared my mind and I am ready to do give my analysis of the game, now that the Basketball only trolls have ran away! I unfortunately was streaming the game, can't wait to get to the dome. Read the positives as well!!!!!

NEGATIVES (in no order)

- I love Scott Shafer, but there is a few aspects that must improve ASAP. Those few aspects that have to improve, are in game adjustments, game/clock management, and last but not least discipline. We saw the 56-0 game last year in which we were completely out coached... This was on the same level as that, I hate seeing that 1000 yard look on Scotts face. There is absolute no question about his heart, he must stop wish coaching and make adjustments.

- George aka "kool kid", there was plenty of frustration on the game thread with the number of screens, and I completely 100% agree. Another annoying thing was why didn't PTG get more touches? I get it we have a bunch of capable running backs, but we must feed PTG the ball more. A poster I forget who, said that we were operating a limited playbook for this game, I highly highly doubt that was the case. If so our coaches were more overconfident than some of our players. How many times did mega douche Al Groh know what play we were calling!!

- Offensive line, Is there even a point in starting on this? I mean there is only one word I can use to sum up our lines performance last night and that word would get me banned. Very very disappointed in every single one of them last night. Hickey had to have had some sort of injury I mean really, we all know Sean is much better than that. Another year of penalties by Ivan Foy, this also must be addressed. I have a replay the game I just watched and there is A TON of missed assignments, can some of this be related to offensive line coach Joe Adam?

- Linebackers, where the heck was Dyshawn Davis? Cameron Lynch also was absolutely terrible in coverage last night. I liked Marqez Hodge, so the LBs where not our biggest problem, not worried here really... Josh Kirkland was also terrible when he came in.

- Chuck Bullough also coached a crappy game. The secondary is confused once again which EXTREMELY worries me. We have a bunch of playmakers there that must be put in a position and coverage scheme to succeed. We also must disguise our blitzes much much better, Robertson was reading them all night long, wait till Jameis or Everett play us! I think Shafer needs to take over a bit here. Hey chuck, I think they are going to run a wildcat keeper with Robertson...!

- Brisly Estime had a very poor game, I am going to go ahead right away and say must have a knock somewhere bugging him.

- Defensive line, MANHANDLED by midgets. Arghhh! What can I say

- Chirping, hey Ritchie! Keep chirping Robertson... He is only making you guys completely look silly. Last thing he needs is more motivation!

- Hunt, cmon man... Be smart.

- Did I mention Al Groh is a mega douche?

- Students and there keys, silent farts make a louder noise than keys.

Positives!

- I 110% believe that if Terrel does not get ejected this is a whole different ball game. I believe we would have pulled away by quite a bit. I truly think this game is a minor bump in the road even after all of the negatives I listed. Just a bad game.

- Why is everyone so surprised? Do you know how many upsets happen in week 1? I posted a thread a while a go that had the title "Watch Out" and listed all the upsets from last year alone (http://espn.go.com/college-football/story/_/id/9624936/seven-fcs-teams-pull-23m-upsets)

- #ERV, this kid is going to be one heck of a player, gotta get him touches in space (not bubbles)

- J. west is really looking like a leader on the offense, he was scratching and crawling for extra yards. I truly think this guy is going to have a big year. He is a big target and I think in previous years his effort was his letdown. Looks on board with the system.

- Riley Dixon, THAT WAS NOT AN EASY THROW!!!!! Nice little jump toss to Kendall in the endzone. I also somewhat liked the call as well.

- Scott Shafer was P!ssseddddd off in that press conference, really pissed! He ripped that team a new once after that football game, he will turn this around. I also agree that there should be no further discipline re: the Hunt incident, I think we all know he lit him up in the room.

- Norton was solid.

- The attendance was AWESOME! 41 + for Nova, great job from everyone!!!!

- Robertson was Nova, with a little help from Poppy and cherry.

- Nova is better than cmu.

- Thompson and Crume, slight nod to Welsh

After CMU this will be a bad memory, GO ORANGE.

Thx for reading.
