The CheckerBoard

I can't believe CP lived up to the hype.

We basically won 42-14..................almost happened.

Pig might be another option with the running attack too. There are definitely ways to make this a very awesome team this year.

Next week for Croom will be huge and the bye week IMO for Pig even tho he might be back for FL........he will need lots of reps.

He earned it tonight. It will be interesting to see how Neal responds....

True..........but Lane might be our starter now........Neal better learn fast to hit the hole and not dance or he will be back at WR or the bench. Lane looked good. We just are not talented at RB but have enough to be ok. Ok with an elite passing game might be good enough.

WIldcat will happen IMO

***We played well........and will learn a ton from it and every game this year*** (we are still young)

Bray and Hunter were rusty too. Both will improve the next few games. GBO!

i hope we beat florida then henry might change his comitt
GO BIG ORANGE!!!

If we can have a similar night running (even minus the Patterson end around) against UF, I think we can beat them.

If the running game takes a step back, it's going to be very, very difficult and the game might end 13-10.

My thoughts on the night:

Great opening win and the curse of the Georgia Dome is over.

Tonight, Marlin Lane was better than Neal. Neal did too much dancing while Lane put his head down and went.

We were easily 3-4 TD's better than this team, but let them stay in the game because we couldn't complete a few 3rd or 4th and shorts. I expect this will get tightened up and we'll be fine going forward.

Hats off to Bray for being patient and not forcing the issue any tonight. He was off on some throws, but he didn't throw into any double or triple coverage and made good decisions IMO.

Loved the aggressiveness of the D. They applied constant pressure all night and never allowed Glennon to get comfortable. Hats off to NC State's RB's because their pass protection kept Glennon from getting sacked a lot more than he did.

Overall, excellent first game. If we can build on tonight and continue to improve then this could be a really good year IMO.

I hope Wildcat does NOT happen. You're taking the ball out of our 3 best play makers if you do that (Bray, Hunter, and Patterson). Just gotta find a better way to run straight ahead for 4 tough yards. Lane did look much better doing that and getting that extra lean.
