Stepped out during change of possession and come back to points. I don’t hate it. 

Same! This is fun.

"That pass was behind the WR. Bad"

My stream is weird and I have the Kevin Hart Chase Freedom commercial over and over again on repeat every break.

I've got that Applebee's commercial a lot.

Pretty good throw. Had to slow up a slight bit but mostly in stride.

So giving a guy actual progressions.....and a chance to get a rhythm.....WORKS?!? 

Check downs have dramatically improved this offense.

[MaitlandTiger 325]

At this particular moment in this particular game, this is the greatest offensive line play ever witnessed in the history of college football

[jmcrosson 203]

Granted, I know it’s Akron, but the execution and attention to detail has been impressive.

Who'd have thought even against Akron. Pass blocking has allowed him to stay in the pocket too.

Defense is Nasty!!! 

[wareagleguy 1,393]

Fair looks like a truck!

[WeaglWeaglWDE 599]

Wow he got CRUNCHED there. 

[AUBwins 10,088]

When you have a guy by himself like that, just get it to him without an overthrow.  It was behind him but safe. Normally he would overthrow.  I consider it an improvement.

So this is what a football team looks like.

That’s what the ESPN app does. It’ll play the same 2 or 3 commercials over. And over. And over. 

I have to mute it every commercial break or I'd pull the little bit of hair I have left out.

I’d say we’d be biting our nails at this point in previous years.

Three horns don’t play with long necks

[WarDamnEagleWDE 12,737]

I know it’s Akron but the OL looks a lot better. That strength train this off-season has made a huge difference. 
 

So nice having a real offense now. Looks damn good.

Without looking at past starts it has to be one of his better, if not best start, to a game. Even past bad teams

I have to mute it for my wife’s sanity as well. And she’s not even paying attention.

His eyes got big, and he didn't gun it or sail it. So yes, let's hope so.
