I agree... specially with the RBs. But, I will say that Perkins broke a couple 15+ scampers. The guy is fast. We had 3 RBs with ~50 yards each. I'll take it.

I thought he and Ballard both looked better than Elliot. All these guys have talent and they will put it together by the end of the year.

Really shouldn't apply to tonight's game since they were held scoreless before halftime.

The thing about the kick coverage is that I really think theproblem is with the kicker and not the guys covering. Not only do we not kick it past the 10 but it is a low line drive. The one timeMemphis kickedoff, the kick was twice as highand had twice the hang time, allowing thier guys to get down there to cover.We have go to correct that.

Another comment thatI have seen is that people are a little dissappointed with our secondary. There were many times that recievers were wide open. If you notice, more than half the time the reciever was wide open, it was Damien Anderson who was supposed to be covering him. Anderson has got to be the worst player on the team. We have go to quit putting him in the game. I am notdissapointed in the secondary as much as I amthe fact that Anderson is ever in the game. On the touchdown, our DB's were Zack Smith, Bonner, Louis Watson, and Anderson.I thinkthat even Dawgstudent could complete a TD pass against that secondary. Our starting DB' are pretty good.

What happened to Broomfield? Did he play?

Overall, Awsome game and a great crowd.

from the team based on the first game.

But, we all know that the season really starts Thursday evening.

Our play book, and theirs, will be opened up and we will actually see how we stack up.
