Never saw a game with so many flags - also worrisome that chase our Texas qb knocked out of game but Caleb Sanchez came on and did well ! We won despite some errors - eg too many men on field - roughing kicker etc! But we’ll take the W !

We have a lot of work to do on offense. The passing game needs work—Goodwin and his receivers are not yet in sync. The OL is not opening up holes for the running backs. On the bright side the first year RB, Walter’s, is a load and is now the #1 back as far as I can tell. The kicking game also needs work—two awful shanked punts, a missed PAT, and a kickoff out of bounds. As far as the defense, which was our calling card last season, the pass defense has been generally sound but the run defense needs to step up. PS, the targeting call on Newton was unjustified and puts him on the bench for the first half against Princeton.

Good point about Newton - that sucks if he is out for first half of Princeton - FWIW - there was the same call vs G/town when Goodwin QB was knocked out the game - but the call was reversed.

Totally agree with you Old Lion - your age makes you a savvy football analyst -- hopefully Poppe and crew can make adjustments. From my perspective it is good to play aggressively but if it leads to foe drives continuing - such as our roughing the kicker we have to fix that. Kicking game was a nailbiter as well - one snap was almost fumbled but a miss is as good as a mile.

Author: Old Lion (third downs) [ Edit \| View ]	Date Posted: 07:46:48 09/28/25 Sun One other point on defense—we seemed to have difficulty getting off the field on third downs; it seemed like we had Georgetown at third and long and somehow containment broke down (QB scrambles), the RB found the edge, or they completed a pass. On most occasions we seemed to hold up well on 1st and 2nd downs but softened up on 3rd and long.
