Obviously, the penalties and the OL are certainly areas for concern, but that's all fixable stuff. The biggest thing is that I see improvements in all three phases.

I believe MC will get our guys to be more disciplined and we'll go back to having fewer penalties, but I do see things improving.

Some positives:
  • We finally have a stud #1 WR in Young. They need to feed the ball to that young man.
  • TVD is finally back and seems to have come to a peace with this new system. He looks like last year's TVD.
  • Mallory is finally playing the way we thought he would. Hopefully the injury won't keep him out of the Duke game.
  • Don't know why it took this long, but the coaches are finally putting athletes in to return the ball, especially on punts. Having Smith back to return punts is waaaaay overdue and I wouldn't be surprised if we see him take one or two back this year. We have to put difference makers in as many positions to make a difference as possible.
  • Once we get some guys back on the OL, we might be a dangerous team.
  • The coaching on the DL is really starting to show. That DL is getting pressure and sacks. More INT's will come with their pressure.
  • After the MTSU debacle, it looks like Steele has the D playing better overall.
  • If we continue to show improvement through the year and we get some kids back from injury, we could become that team that no top team wants to play (cough-Clemson-cough).
Show improvement every week and the majority of us will hang with Coach MC.

TvD looking more like himself. That's the big one for me, though in the second half there were still a few times when I felt like he bailed out on the play too quickly and/or didn't recognize a wide open check down.

I think you are dreaming of unicorns and rainbows.
We will be lucky to split remaining games
We just scored 20 against ****** tech
After 24 last week against horrendous UNC defense
We don’t have a good enough QB that can carry team and make everything easy and we sure as **** don’t have enough weapons inngeneral
Everything is HARD, nothing comes easy

That’s a tough way to win week in week out imo

20 points bro
Twenty
 
Mario’s poor reputation for clock management showed itself today. The penalties were outrageous but the o line penalties will go down once Zion & Clark are back. Great performances by Colbie & Brashard, hopefully Jacolby will be ready soon cuz I expect him back before X. That TVD TD pass to Colbie was a thing of beauty.

Refreshing to see a post about positive aspects of the team instead of the constant negativity and bytching and moaning. Thanks!
