This season already feels better than last year

Even after only 2 games, this season already has a more positive vibe when compared to last year. Our D still needs some work against the run but the overall the feel seems different in a better way.

Absolutely...I think they may be cause the expectations are not as high as last year...we can enjoy the ride

I honestly don’t think that we will have as many issues with conference play, if we stay focused. Not many teams will have a d this good, or be able to put up points like GT. It was a good guy check. If we stay hungry we got this

I think we also need to give our defense credit. We started of with an int, kickoff for a touchdown twice, a 2min 3 and out, I mean the defense was stuck on the field the entire 1st half. Then shut out GT in the 2nd quarter. They still have growing to do, but i can still see the potential.

They allow no points in the 2nd quarter and only 3 in the fourth...that was huge. But they did almost get 700 yards...gulp

Yeah... I don't know why people think you just shut down triple option teams.  They're going to get yards... what you do is limit possessions and win the turnover battle.  We're not really facing another team with this run game or defense for the rest of the season.  But they'll get better, people forget we have a bunch of new starters... sure they got a lot of time last season, but starting and staying in is something different.  Also, we played a lot of guys on the dline.  That will pay off huge as the season goes on.

They're always going to put up a bunch of yards.  the last 100 were really junk yards because we were playing a prevent.

602 yards of offense, unless for some reason you are counting the kick return yardage

Too early to say whether I feel we're stronger, but this game went a long way to give me confidence. One of the great games for us, but I wish GT the best of luck in conference (make us look even better!).

I just saw on a GT board how they always win the yards and TOP even in a loss sorry no medal in FB for having the most yards in a game its all about the final score.

I think this could be the toughest offense we face this year....UCF will be very good but atleast it is a more traditional offense.

The biggest thing we did was take their FB away.  We didn't go to any crazy defenses... we won doing what we do.  That was huge taking him away.
