Think it was a fun game, some things to work on, but I really think we are moving in the right direction. FAU played there hearts out... I think tonight has really put some confidence in our guys, every step helps..... GBR

:clap :clap :clap

 
They definitely started flat that's for sure. But overall, I was impressed with the agressiveness of the defense. Big improvement even over last year IMO. Still some things to work on but I thought they did pretty well

 
One big difference between this staff and the last is even after a big blow out they still coach up the kids on what they did wrong.

 
One thing that I noticed right away was the bone crushing hits. Asante had one, Thenarse had one that caused a fumble, and even Eric Martin laid the wood. Overall I saw good form tackling.

Thank god!!!! Hopefully we are getting over Cosgrove's horrible teaching and the poor tackling that went along with it. I agree it sounded like we started flat, but man once we got going it was like "SEE YA!!!!" We have some playmakers and that's something we haven't seen in quite awhile.

 
Haven't seem a third quarter roll like that in a long time, everything clicked together. 2 years ago we would of won (maybe), last year it would of been a 7-10 point game. All around a good sign we are heading in the right direction

Oh by far, this defense is light years ahead of a Cosgrove D. They hustle to the ball. They're not afraid to hit. There are multiple redshirts surrounding the ball. Our LB's are going to be great IMO. That hit by Eric Martin was huge!

Compton had a crushing hit early in the game which was a fumble, but the refs blew the whistle. Compton looked pretty good for a first start.

Too bad the refs had their heads up their butts on that play. Hopefully Bo won't harp over that flag because it really was a clean hit. Come to think of it, Crick's personal foul on the QB was iffy also.

Yeah that was a crappy call on Martin's hit as well as Crick. That personal foul cost O'Hanlon an pick if I remember right.
