Very happy with a win over a good opponent to open the season. Excited to see us next week.
Watching the game in person I was left wondering…are these two good teams going at it or are these two mediocre teams in the middle of a pillow fight. After watching highlights and seeing in person, I go with the former. Cincy had speed all over the field. They had a very experienced and good OL that picked up 90% of what we threw at them. That group may be in the top 2 of OL’s we see this year.
- Offense looked good at times. Need to get more consistent.
- I don’t remember a dropped pass on a catchable ball. (Someone May can correct me)
- Trey Knox has turned himself into a man child.
- Drew Sanders had a nice sack, but for me he was relatively quiet?
- Hope to hell if we have 1-2 guys out for a couple weeks in secondary that we go back to our zone scheme and scrap man until they’re back.
- Cincy WRs are damn fast.
- Cincy will do well in the Big 12
- Our OL looked fine outside of one drive when KJ got hammered twice inside the 20.
- Rocket looked great
- Would like to see AJ get more touches
- Dibinion looked real good
- Concept with Malik at WR looks promising. Cincy just played smart on back end. Will work against some teams this year.
- Gotta get more production out of NT. On plays I made sure to watch DL, didn’t draw too many double teams.
- Lack of deep shots pissed me off but Cincy was playing 2 deep all game to take that away.
That’s all I’ve got for now…sure I’ll think of more.

Likely way too early but anyone on the twatters or with local paper have injury updates?

I told the rant that yes they did lose nine players to the draft but they were ahead by so many points against teams in the AAC that they were able to let the backups get a lot of snaps over the last couple of years.
I looked at the roster and they had redshirt seniors, juniors, sophomores and freshmen. They able to replace what they lost with good players. They are a power 5 team in a G5 conference.

i'm glad we won.
Offense good-
Offense line i thought did pretty well.
KJ is fun to watch , he's a great QB
Rocket played well most of the time.
offense bad-
WR seperation and deep routes are a concern. we will need this or folks will load the box as we continue forward.
Rocket looks timid at times. he's physical when he arrives but he almost seemed to hesitate at times.
Jefferson is going to be solid but didn't appear to take that step to elite this offseason.
defense good-
that interception was a big part of the win.
we generated presssure at times against a decent OL.
defense bad-
WRs running behind coverage everywhere.
Pressure was not consistent or coming from DL often.
Those are my notes from rewatching the first half. gonna watch the second half once it stops erroring out on hulu.

Our coaching staff has done a great job with the transfer portal. Transfers were making plays all over the field yesterday.

like the OP, I was happy to get the win; offense just didn't look like it ever stayed in sync for too long, but first game and all; i, too, expect more zone going forward; our guys got beat a handful of times;

Secondary struggled
We had way too may missed tackles in the 4th
KJ still struggling to hit intermediate balls. Throws the ball either too hard for a guy 10 yards away or at a guys feet.
DJ is a tone setter in the run game. We didn't really have that.
Rashod Dubinion looked better than Green to me
We were very fortunate their QB missed a lot of guys downfield
Receviers struggled to get seperation. Cinn recievers looked like ours should have. Very concerning. No Burks to make big downfield plays.

Looked like a typical season opener to me. There were things that worked and some that didn't.
We beat a ranked opponent and will get better as the season goes on. We just need to get healthy.

KJ completed 69% for 3 TD's and 0 INTS, Rocket over a 100 yards, the direct QB snap after spreading the defense into 5 in the box (blocked by 6 guys) is there all year, and Briles didn't advertise it

Catalon is a safety. He's hardly ever in man to man.
ETA:
you're just making shite up because you have no idea what you're talking about, but you love being negative quote:

so 2 deep takes the long ball away better than 3 deep?

I am shocked how many people in our fanbase still don’t fully trust KJ. Zero concerns on offense for me. KJ can run at will against 10/11 remaining teams.
Defense needs some work but it was only game 1

We were tied against 4–8 Rice last year going into the fourth quarter. Down by two scores in the third. And last year ended up being worlds better than we thought it'd be. After the kind of season openers we've had the past decade, I'm beaming after this one.

I was concerned with the secondary and DL before the game. Still a little concerned about the secondary but I think the staff will iron things out. Also in agreement of some that Hornsby needs more touches and will get them. Overall, I think we're in good shape.
Here is Josh Pate talking about some unhappiness from Arkansas fans, his thoughts on Briles gameplan, and his experience at Fayetteville. Says it might have been his best trip yet. Sorry if already posted, but worth a listen.
