True, it's Akron. But the head coach we had for 8 years would still be trying to figure out who plays where

This.  Auburn was actually ready in game 1.  It's been a while.

For the 8000th time, it's Akron, but we just seem like a completely different football team

We really do. I’m impressed on a lot of fronts, but none as much as the performance of our OL. Pray we stay healthy across the line this season and our performance on the field results in Coach Friend landing 5-6 coveted OL recruits

Bet all the transfers and early draftees are watching...a bit unnerved about their decision.  

Life is a brutal teacher.

careless penalties are a minimum also.   Thats nice to see.   maybe we wont kill our own drives in future games.

We've had what? One false start?

[Auhud08 596]

Its not just being ready in game 1. Its being ready in game one with an ENTIRELY new staff. Few penalties, few false starts. Think ab this- how many missed routes have we seen? We were all worried ab that. Youd think this was the 2nd or 3rd yesr in this offense by the cleanliness of the play.

And a holding call on a Tank run. 

[JTFazz 386]

When is the last time you saw an illegal wedge penalty?

[Weagle17 39]

Just left the game to get home to the little ones. That was such a breath of fresh air and fun to watch (I know it’s Akron). War Eagle!

[Tony4AU 386]

TAMU up 10-3 against better MAC team Kent St with about 3 minutes left in 1st half

False starts are mental mistakes, and those just drive coaches bonkers. Not as concerned about holding unless it becomes habitual.

[j0hnnyRingo 1,445]

Would like to see TJ throw it a bit. 

[tgrogan21 6,198]

Akron with 52 total yards halfway through the 3rd.

The team looks like they showed up to work. 

Work, hard work.

I thought that was only in golf, and maybe just in certain match events

I've been on this kid since before he ever put on an AU jersey! LFG KING!!!!

Akron is very bad, but look around the SEC. Several teams looked bad against bad competition. Texas A&M is only up 7 on Kent State close to the half. 

Auburn was ready to go from the jump. 

[AuCivilEng1 11,026]

TJ threw a pass! Guys, our second string an threw a pass! 

[AUBwins 10,088]

Yay!!!!!!!! Pass by the backup!!!!! Can go to sleep satisfied!

[MaitlandTiger 325]

I’m looking forward to seeing more of Finley, Sean Jackson, and Hunter

[WFE12 9,191]

We only had one penalty by an OL right? Other two by TE’s..not bad

[tgrogan21 6,198]

Canion finally got some playing time and a catch! Still sucks seeing my Man Crush not on the 2-deep.

Capers appears to be fighting an injury FYI.  Appears to have happened before today and looks like his knee.
