He's a. Bit quick on the trigger...a half count wait on some throws would have been completions...he has a really live arm, a little touch on the ball might help...

2nd best? I saw his qbr was 50.8 which is not good.

Also the running game looked really really concerning. 38 carries for 133 yards is not good at all.
RBs did not look great at all, I did not think bailey and montrell would be as big as a loss but it showed last night.

O line needs to improve. That group has never been an issue in the pastfew years and probably took that for granted. Im sure they will gel. QB1 will be fine with a little more experience under his belt. Play caller will get better also

It was week one but the OL looks small and average at best. The RB room is also concerning.

Regarding the secondary, had SLU had a decent passer, last night would have been much different.

WE HAVE SERIOUS WORK TO DO AS A TEAM!

It’s not the RBs. It’s the interior OL.

This is true but I still have some questions regarding the RBs. Some second level decisions/vision issues I spotted. But you’re correct…the OL looks rough.

Fix the OL and we fix some problems.

CMD’s first game with new lineup is a win. As I expected

Hype video that was played before the game should have been played earlier. But instead, it's being played while the band is playing, and the fireworks are going off and the team is running out on the field. You couldn't hear the video. Not good timing whatsoever.

Overall grade D+ Crappy facilities, crappy opponent, same old pregame nonsense. Very stale product

Not to mention tailgating. They say gates open at 8:30. "Well 2 of them at least". We drive over to gate 5 to get into the RV lot and she tells us we can't enter there. We have to drive around to gate 1. As we try to tailgate. Cars with tags are flying between the campers and parking where they want. If it's going to be a free for all on game day, let me know so I can make proper arrangements.

I love how everyone was just going off on the ref about the grounding call when it was just a dumb mistake by chandler. All in all I think this was one of the better officiated games at Cajun field in a while

You do know a new stadium is right around the corner. Right?

Which means 100% of everybody agrees with you.

Whichh also means complaining about the outgoing without looking forward to the incoming seems petty indeed. But that's just me. :)

I could have swore I heard CMD say he wasn’t going to do that. I thought he said he didn’t believe in playing 2 QBs.

Maybe I am remembering wrong or maybe he just changed his mind. I don’t love it, but it can’t be a bad thing to have two experienced guys ready to play if needed.

Read your last sentence for the answer to your first sentence. You already know why.

Gun slinger mentality. Think Favre or Marino.

I don't think it's "bailey and montrell" so much as I think it's the departures on the O-Line

Yes, I agree, it's just you.

Promises of new baseball locker room for 6 yrs. Promise to reno CF going on almost as long. I'll believe it when i see it.

RaginDave mentioned that SLU had some talent, and they do, especially in the secondary.

Our QBs combined completed 64.5% of their passes for 241 yards, 2 TDs with 0 INTs.

Not a bad game at all out the gate to start a new season with a new HC, new DC, new QB and a mostly inexperienced O-Line.

Exactly 💯. SE has d1 transfers and they will certainly contend this year. Great game to work the kinks out

Could also be a good reason why Emani and Johnson decided to transfer. We lost a 1st team All-American and a NFL draftee from last year's line. Hard to replace that.

Montrell carried a pretty good load last night for the Gators. SEC spotlight vs SBC spotlight. It is what it is.

If we are going to build the culture, we must start them young.
Everyone bring a kid or two to the game and in a few years we should have some additional attendance. Unfortunately we may have some attrition from the older folks such as myself :😂

By the way to answer your question about the volume of the scoreboard speakers, it was loud but not as loud as in the past where it was overbearing. I thought it was perfect but then again maybe my hearing is going out. Others with 2020 hearing may better articulate��.
