    Meh, start of 4th quarter reaction.

    1. Running game looks better than I thought.
    2. Milton has been disappointing.
    3. Defense has been ok.
    4. All in all, I expected more.
    5. If they don't get better in a hurry, it's gonna be a long, long season.
    6. When the offense does get rolling, it makes me winded just watching.

    Time to give Hooker some reps.

    Yeah not great. Rbs feet and vision look good. Milton has missed quite a few. We have run about 4 different plays. Totally new team in first game with a new staff and it shows.
    But we appear to know what we are doing and playing fairly fast on the field.
    Hit a couple of those bombs while running for almost 300 and most would be happier

    Can this dude not read the field and throw?

    When he finally throws Hyatt keeps dropping it.

    And people saying Milton is JG are too drunk. He has a couple of runs over 10 yards and has slid out of the pocket more in one game than JG in his career while making good run reads.
    Hes missed some obviously, had some dropped and not seeing opportunities. He will be shown on film and hopefully adjust and trust it to see the matchup and throw it with Heups help.

    There’s no rhythm in the passing game yet.

    We look actually coached though

    Milton standing still in the pocket bothers me. At least he looks calm and has gone thru progressions, but he missed shots in those progressions. Hopefully coachable.

    Really hoped this offense could help Milton, but he looks like the same dude from Michigan. If he’s still starting by the second half of the Florida game I’ll be surprised.

    Meh. 32 point dub is fine in game one bleeding in new players and schemes for year 1.

    Someone said the staff hopes to redshirt Bailey but I don't know that will happen this year. Depends on Hooker I suppose

    It's game one. The biggest progression is made from week 1 to week 2. If we don't clean up a lot next week then we can freak out.

    5 yards a pop on 64 carries is good.

    Running game was so dominant it was hard to really judge quality. Better than the alternative. Milton is not there. He had a couple drops letting him down, but he missed open guys and didn’t throw an accurate deep ball all game. Hopefully most of a game of reps help him get sharper, because this performance isn’t winning many SEC games.

    Defense looked like last year for an entire quarter and still only gave up six points. Bowling Green sucks, but it’s hard to be too mad about that. Hard to be too enthused either though.

    When the offense and defense are out-of-sync at the same time, it’s going to be ugly. Whole quarters with 30 seconds of possession ugly.
