Good players know when a coaching staff is clueless. That had to be a depressing locker room last year.

Craver, Coleman, Mosley, and Whittmore are legit talents at wideout. Only saw Stonka get one touch on a ****** play so hard to get a read on him. Our new TE alligator armed the one pass I remember going his way, but he otherwise was a nonfactor.
It seemed like we could have gone over the top for big yards at will so I'm pretty happy with the passing game all in all.
Lee didn't have a great game, but Booth averaged almost 5 yards a carry so I'll take that.
On a personal note, I drank a LOT of bourbon today, but never reached the level of obnoxious ******* that those around me have cone to expect, and fear. Maybe not having to watch Kevin Barbay's retarded offense **** all over my dreams of State's greatness kept me more sober than I expected to be. I'll adjust and do better next time.

Only thing I gathered tonight is Lebby was the right hire (been saying this since day 1) and our fanbase blows. All you 17ers that sit at home and expect the athletic department to give you a blowjob just to attend can go 17 yourselves. We deserve 3-9 every year.
I was talking about protecting a QB. Would the offense have been less handcuffed with Will hurt and a backup playing??
The answer is No. It would have been awful.
Keeping your qb in the pocket and having lead feet for a qb handcuffs your offense. I'd taken Shapen taking the risk over the statue qb offense everyday.
I'll take as many seasons like Leach's last one as we can find. We've had very few teams that good.
I hope we don't find out what we look like on O without Shapen.
how do we appear to have a more competent quarterback than Florida or Texas A&M? I know they were playing excellent defenses but that was really bad.
Shapen is solid, but if he had been playing ND or Miami, he would have looked much more average.
We shall see.
Time and relative dimension in space. It’s bigger on the inside….
Some of you guys are slightly delusional. We looked good against a team barely above a junior college. I was satisfied but we should have been able to run at will. A win next week is not a given. They looked good also. And did anyone here see Arkansas ? They looked dominant. Also against a garbage team. If we win next week I will be more excited.
Perspective. We would have scored 20 max with the same staff last year. Nobody expected perfection
The second string defense looked hungry and salty. The fresh legs on tired ones no doubt helped. But it looked like they had more spark than the first team D.
Hard to judge. By then EKU was worn out, banged up & just wanted to go home. I thought the 1st team defense looked a bit better than I expected, although that’s not saying much.
No doubt it was much better than that pitiful staff. State really screwed the pooch hiring that dysfunctional group of coaches. Which I believe half of us here beat that dead horse for a few months. Better but not enough for me to think we are gonna win eight. But definitely satisfactory and with a little fine tuning who knows.
I had no idea what to expect with a new coach and so many new players. Encouraged that we actually looked like a team yesterday.
Lebby can coach. I'm excited for the future if he sticks around.
Run game was kinda disappointing despite 200yds. Maybe oline needs time to gel.
Passing game looked pretty good. Shapen has a real quick release and can put the ball in tight zones
More depth than we could've ever dreamed of at wr. Gotta find a way to get those guys the ball. Maybe we can run a lot of wr screens to make up for the run game.
Defense might have played vanilla but...
For the most part they made the stops on 3rd and 4th down
Secondary seemed to struggle when the qb had any time
EKU filled the box to stop the run all night and we didn't remotely open up the play book and still lit it up. Booth or Daniels need to take the RB carries.
ETA- I forgot that teams usually improve the most between their second and first games
This is the most over used cliche in college football and it’s bull s h i t.
It defies rational thinking.
No. The most improvement ANY team will make is between their first game and their last.
This s h i t really isn’t that hard. Common sense.
