Lots of positives. He's still young and it's his first ever start. This stuff will happen. But we see the flashes of greatness

Should of had a TD there......Gio missed the long one and then obviously the INT.

Still better than Laviano.

Hope Oden is ready though, Gio's leg looks to be about one fall away from being done.

We would've had 2 more minutes on that drive instead of rushing things if Odin didn't come in for those 2 plays. Boneheaded coaching move!

Can't turn the ball over. TOs are the #1 factor in determining the game.

Leads me to believe this maxim guides Ash's roster decisions.

Yes, the turnover sucks. Need to take the good with the bad. But we finally see what this offense can do with decent QB play. We get the ball back. Now do something.

Also, can we get Martin and Hicks some play? They are proven commodities and will produce against this D.

Hey at least the offense is now watchable. I'm sorry for saying the team quit. Turnovers and big plays are the story this game so far.

Damn armin- defending the indefensible and ranking on gio after we have a two min drive and almost score? When was the last time we had such excitement on offense? I know you defended cl For years ( and i guess you will snipe on whoever replaces him) but gio looked better than cl ever looked

C'mon man he's a first year HC. I'm pretty sure that if there is no unknown to us reason for Oden he'll realize his mistake and not nmake it again.
Good to see Oden out of the doghouse..one he placed himself into by not following team rules. New doghouse head man..Laviano.shocked hes still with team

So much for posters saying the defense has improved but due to the offense they look bad. There's a reason they gave up 78 points to Michigan setting world records in the process. Sorry but Ash is not getting it done at all.
Doesn't matter who the trainer is, you can't put a claimer into the Kentucky Derby

It's obvious there is no magic bullet. Staff is trying to work with what they have. O looks much better but Gio needs to protect the ball.

Gio's fault on that INT. He rushed the throw and it sailed on him. The reason he rushed it is because the defense is getting a jump on the pass rush because Gio is ROCKING backwards on every snap. Coaches need to fix this ASAP and definitely over the bye week.

two TO's for 10 points. There is your game right there. What's the 1 thing you can't do there? Yup, Rutgers..we did it.
Only 7 points against but bigger swing since they picked a potential TD pass of ours.
