Might be a unpopular opinion. But while the offense has looked good. It's still way to conservative... Not a single pass in the air went more than 10yards....we had longer passing plays... But we didn't stretch the field that might work against Youngstown. But it won't against quality SEC teams. Is he sandbagging some... Maybe... But I expected alittle more aggressive offense in passing.

Some thoughts.
-We look much more disciplined than in the past seasons.
-Our offense doesn't look like we are pulling teeth attempting to simply pass the ball.
-We do have tight ends! Who knew?!
-Our QB seems to be able to make reads, and the right decision quickly.
-Defense looks a little suspect considering the competition.
-It's always hard to judge the competition level with these early seasons games, but Youngstown State's QB is a stud.
- Not sure how our season will go considering our daunting schedule, but we look like a better coached team already. Which is a good sign.

Good teams don't open the playbook against a team like this. We are cruising running simple designs. No doubt Stein digs deeper and shows a more dynamic offense next week.

The mystery of Stein's O as a first year coach is an advantage going into week 2. Don't give Bama a lot to go off.

I’m sure there are others that feel the same way. I don’t but not an unfair opinion. What I saw was a very precise and efficient short passing game that will be needed against the “big boys”.

That’s my main takeaway. We look so much more disciplined and well coached in most areas of the game so far.

We all know the Youngstown qb is legit. But don't look now, bamas new QB is having a field day against East Carolina
Through 3 quarters Bama QB:
Passing 224 yards
Rushing 64 yards and a rushing TD.
Sure we're playing a legit QB, but this new bama QB has hogs on the line.

I don't know if we are simply this mediocre to sub par on D or the scheme for this game.

One thing I do know. If our D plays like this next week, it won't be pretty.

Their QB is pretty poised and makes a lot of plays, tough to contain.

Charlie Strong sucks a color commentator. But that's also why he's on the plus side of broadcasting.

Up until that return, I've been impressed with the lack of penalties.
I guess I'm new to that rule?? Can you not hit hard anymore? Back in the day the only thing you couldn't do was block in the back.

So you can't block a player chasing the ball carrier?
