Liked a lot of things I saw. Team seems to be very well coached and fundamentally sound. I think Joe used to always say something along the line of a team being judged by its improvement from week one to week two and I’m wishing we were playing someone on a higher level than Temple. Nice to see the solid play at the QB and WR positions and getting the backups in early was a good sign too.People’s lookslike the best option to me at RB right now to me but there’s definitely a lot of room for improvement.
Not sure what to think of the D yet, were they even challenged?
Marshall was one of the better offenses in the NCAA last year, and their first game last year (loss to Georgia) was comparable to his year. So there's that I guess.Liked a lot of things I saw.

IMO the Wisky game will be the first to show what we really have. I am hoping Wisky at least shows well against ND
Temple has a shot to represent league of 5 or whatever they call the rep from the non power 4 so they should be a bit more competitive than Marshall was...Yes I expect to see improvement from week to week with this staff...I think 26 looked to be the best back but he got in after the issue was settled and they went to a more base defense as they were loading 9 in the box for the 1st half...Campbell said in his post game presser they had a lot to work on...His post game presser was refreshing...He gave a sincere and honest take on things not the usual coach speak bullshit...As far as the D was concerned the QB for Marshall is very good...Highly recruited 4* dual threat...He wasn't running roughshod because we played disciplined fundamental defense for once...Everybody maintained gap discipline on the pass rush and he had no lane to escape to...The big ? on defense is the secondary...How those guys will fare when they play a good passing team...I gave them a B+ for the 1st game...They have a lot to work on but I have total confidence in this coaching staff...We got lucky hiring this guy...
@roaminglion that’s definitely what I’m thinking. We’ll learn a lot about who this team really is vs Wisconsin.
I think we are going to find out who and what this team is when USC comes a calling...
@the-funeral-director definitely but much will be Learned vs Wiscy. I think they could be a very good team. We’ll find out tonight.
Peoples didn’t have the yardage but I believe he looked like the better RB homer. Peoples looks much quicker and faster but he needs to be fed the ball.
