1. After the first couple of series, OL looked pretty good - opened up some good holes, no penalties, gave Brock time to throw. I know it was So Miss, but OL play was encouraging.
2. Defense clamped down and smothered SM. Gave up a few 3rd and longs early, then not much. Still not seeing much QB pressure from the edge, mainly from DL. Didn't see Fearby have even a QB pressure and that surprised me a bit.
3. Raymer, the kicker, is automatic. I never even consider that he's going to miss when he trots on the field. Didn't see the punting much so jury is still out.
4. Still need a RB to pick up tough yards. The 3 who played last night all looked good but small. Trayanum will still need to get some carries as the competition improves.
5. Did not see any passes to the RBs last night which surprised me. Only one target that I remember to TE which was a beautiful play for the last TD to Dingle. For all their hype, didn't make much impression last night.
Georgia - powerhouse, again (still?); maybe not as overwhelming as previous years but you can write them down as a playoff team with a high seed right now
Vandy - much better than expected; their QB is a baller but takes way too many hits; my guess is their season craters if he goes down
So Carolina - bad win; should have significantly more talent than ODU but was lucky to win; have some good athletes, though; QB is not very good other than running
Florida - a mess; Miami dominated them; defense got gashed; offense was lackluster and Mertz is still Mertz; didn't seem like either line was very good, either; if they don't improve quickly, Napier is gone; oh yeah, have a Murderer's Row schedule
