On pace to cover or close to it. These cupcake high school games are always tough to gage.

Leary needs a feel good 2nd half for sure though. The goal to just get through these 3 cupcakes of September healthy is out as well sadly.
 
Kicking game =

I think Leary will get in right page and figure it out. More concerned about line without Horsey

I’m not going to panic too much about the first half of the first game, but the offense hasn’t looked as much different from last year as I was hoping so far. The O-line still seems to be struggling a bit as our runs between the tackles haven’t been productive for the most part, and several of our passing plays have been thrown off by the pressure. Perhaps most surprisingly, Leary hasn’t even been close on a few throws even when he had time. I’d honestly have to rate that group as a major disappointment so far although it bears repeating how early it is.

The good news is that our defense looks fast, aggressive, and disruptive, and our kicking game actually looks reliable. Those groups are allowing us to win this game comfortably despite the offensive struggles.
 
Leary had a guy open in the middle of the endzone on that last first down pass to the corner of the endzone that nobody even got a hand on.
 
Looks like we are gonna need him.
I agree our kicking game was horrid last year. I honestly think Leary will be fine there is 2 things going for him today

1) It’s been a long time since he last played with that shoulder injury/ surgery.
2)New system and first game jitters.

I think Leary will be fine Coen is a good offensive coordinator and Leary was his pick so I trust him.
 
Good Lord people
First game of the season,new team, new offense,receivers are new for him.

Relax on Leary just a little.

News on Horsey? Because that's really gonna hurt

Maybe 3 players had their season/college career ended in the first half of the first game. That sux
