Overall a good win. Opening game so mistakes were made. Lots to work on but we did see many good things also.
Onward to ETAM next week.

I think Carthel will be happy to get the win, but he can't be happy with the way they played in the second half.
In the post-game sideline interview he said it was ugly, and it was.

Rutherford with 302 yards passing (62%) 3 TD's 2 INT's
Jenkins with 82 yards rushing and 1 TD (4.3)
Jones with 49 yards rushing (10.0)

Good win. Lots to work on for the next one. Coach won't be happy about giving 14 in the 4th quarter. All around a good game. Glad to start 1-0 in conference.

and he missed
He missed a lot in warm up too.. Hope he gets it back on tract.. we need him to come through from 45 and under
My final thoughts on the game.
We played really well for about 85% of the game, which is about what you should expect out of a week zero matchup against a quality conference opponent.
We had some missed opportunities and bad turnovers, but the game was still never really in doubt after the first Lumberjack score, which is a great place to be.
Obviously we need to see more games to see that we improve, but if this is how we do in an ugly week zero win, I think this is going to be a very exciting team to watch this year.
Gavin looked really good for most of the game. The first pick from the sideline conversation after looked like a miscommunication between QB and receiver on the route, and the second was a forced throw. Other than that he was delivering some really good downfield passes and showing good mobility when things broke down.
Speedy Jones is as advertised. Hopefully we see more of him as the season goes on.
Bugs did go down with an ankle injury early, hopefully we get him back before the ACU game.
The defense doesn't look to have missed a beat. They were gassed in the 4th when the offense was struggling, but for 3 quarters they were lights out, and when it mattered they were clutch. Eli Ennis is going to give offenses nightmares.
Overall I think this was a really good first game and showed the team exactly what they need to work on. It wasn't perfect, but makes me think this team can be just as good if not better than last years team if they can fix the first game mistakes.

Also to get rid of any concerns about Kylon playing in case anyone had any, the TRO specially states that the Rule of Restitution does not apply to any player who's protected by it.
Kylon likely saw limited snaps because he just recently rejoined the team. Expect him to be featured more in the offense as he gets more reps in the new offense.

The last time SFA won a season opener on the road was 1995 at Youngstown State, winning 27-0.

True. Plus, the offense and receiving schemes may have changed with a new OC making the calls. Learning curve.
