Week 1 observations/overreactions

I wouldn't be too hard on the back up QB's. I think they played well. Moore's interception was not his fault. The receiver did not run through the ball. I thought he had good control of the game. I'm hoping we didn't blitz much, because if so, we didn't fair well. One sack?

If something happens to Nico then Merklinger will be handed the reigns, you don’t play a walk on over a 4 star. The only reason Moore is 2nd right now is because of seniority. If a backup has to play meaningful snap it will be Merklinger.

Moore is a transfer with starting experience at UCF I think he may have a scholarship but I’m not sure so I’ll have to check

Re: interception: another board says it was not supposed to go there because the defense was disguised as man coverage but after the snap they switched to zone. The receiver saw it and changed to a different route (for the zone) but the QB stuck with the man coverage route and threw it. Guys who make a ton of money to play on Sundays make wrong reads occasionally.

Watching Notre Dame getting flagged for PI, just because the defender didn't turn his head around.From my experience of watching College FB, it seems that the refs love to throw flags at db's who can't crank their neck.

We had one of those against UTC that didn't get called. The zebras blew that one bigly.

Moore logged more pass attempts Saturday, than in any season prior. He was never a starter.

Can we talk about how good Boo looked ?!
He’s already better than what we had..
Jaylen McCullough was my favorite recruit ever too
Boo runs laps around him already

Nico’s accuracy. Wow. Just wow.

This. To be that tall and that accurate... 😲. It's almost like he was a created player. The mechanics are awesome for a youngster. Clearly a problem for the SEC going forward. His top 5 passes of that game $aturday can be made by only a handful of qb's. Doesn't matter who he faces. If he has protection and the route is there, then he will 🎯 it.

Yeah just stop this. He's gonna be fine. Aussie punting is changing the game

I was joking when I said I was concerned about the punting game but evidently others were not…got To have something to worry about I guess

I hope he never sees the field other than warm ups.

we’ll just score on every possession and taKe that variable out of the game…

My thoughts, the team did exactly what they should have done in the first half, except for the last series before half. Lost 3-7 points there.
The second half was played with back ups, normally the opposing team would’ve scored a few points Against our backups, only a field goal was allowed, 3 points. I was super impressed with their play. Plus the offensive scored half of what the starters Scored in the first half.
Yes, I know it was only Chattanooga however, I believe this is elite football unfolding before our eyes.
I am still worried about our defensive backfield until they have proven themselves, but I believe some of the people on this forum should have more faith in what we’re about to behold from these young men.

GBO.
