— Played really hard. Ran the ball effectively. Realizes in college football sacks affect rushing yardage. When they called runs, they were successful.

— Biggest issue was missing shots downfield. Watch the effort and how physical the guys were. Had eight new starters. They settled into the game well.
— Defense was very active. Were able to generate pressure on the QB without bringing blitzes.
— pleased with the way Herrera kicked off and kicked field goals.
— Knows there’s a lot of teams feeling crappy after losing. Happy to be 1-0.
— There were some missed opportunities on offense. Was excited to see there are a lot of correctable things from watching the tape. They need all 11 on offense. This offense will continue to grow and getter each week.
