I expected BC to score about what they did. I did not expect us to score what we did.

I will happily take that week over week progress, and hopefully we continue it next week and can turn it into a win. Not crazy to think that's possible with what we saw today.

Except for the final score, that was actually worth watching. Nice to see the fans really into the game. Please keep those as the home uniforms!

Play calling got much better later on once Bell let Olson open it up a bit. If Lytle is healthy next week he should start. Give the guy a chance. Theres a reason he was the starter. He showed toughness at Pitt... between the Oline and the receivers he had no chance. If he doesn't have it or isnt as good as you think then you reevaluate

They beat the spread, and weren’t embarrassed. That is progress in my book!
Raise the bar, do the minimum.

Big improvement from the OLine today, Olson wasn’t running for his life and they created some space for the backs. Nice improvement from the first game. Looking forward to next week.

Need to give some credit to the offensive line after last week. Gave up no sacks and the backs were able to run a little bit. Looking forward to next week's game.

Agreed. Lytle had 0 time last game and should get the chance to show what he’s got with a somewhat competent pass protection. Love what Olson has shown though.

It actually was a good game to watch. Much better 2nd half than first. Thought they looked a little tentative and conservative first half, but they turned it around. Good sign that they kept making plays

I'm just happy we can have a conversation on over who should be the starter for GOOD reasons for once.
