Well it looks like the temp has dropped a couple of degrees. Brandon can you tell a difference? Our guys seem to be conditioned to this point? May be the difference in the 4th quarter? We definitely need to score on this drive and apply some pressure.

There’s nothing on the radar now. They need to get this game back going.

We definitely need to score on this drive and apply some pressure. Yeah it feels more like 101 now... Seriously, I think we will be much better this year. Don't know how this delay will determine anything, but we are holding our own. And our best receiver isn't playing.

Seriously, get it back going…I do understand the delay though. That kind of heat is dangerous

Defense keeping us in it. Need a TD on offense.

Offense never made it to the game. Defense and 1 is very impressive. Special teams hurt us bad too. We can’t kick a short FG? Going to be a long year.

Gentlemen. Even though this is only the first game of the season with a new coaching staff, it felt like watching a classic Chris Willis coached game. Defense plays well the entire game and offense doesn't do shit in the second half. Also, we need a new kicker.

Just not sure what to make of the offense. I expected more, obviously. I’m thinking we might still not have enough skill at the skill positions. But it’s this staff’s first game, against what will probably be a playoff team or one that comes very close to being one. So maybe it’s unfair to judge them at this point.
Kudos to the defensive staff, though. It LOOKS like we’ve made big steps on that side of the ball.
I feel like Chattanooga will be about as good as Mercer. Will Braly help us play better? I’m sure it will. And it will be the Mocs’ first game, so who knows what to expect from them.

UNA tonight looks worse than any of the “transition” teams. Una did absolutely nothing the entire game. Absolute goose egg for the “offensive guru” Brent Dearmon. Defense on paper looked good but they let Mercer just spam inside run all the way down the field with a few check down passes in critical moments. If it weren’t for the overturned calls and lucky breaks una likely would’ve been shut out. Chris Willis would’ve won that game hands down! I don’t care that Mercer was ranked coming into this game, they are not good either!

Hey at least on the bright side, Jax State won their first FBS game!

The honeymoon is over. This staff has a lot of work to do.

I'm sorry, but, at least in person, it looks nothing like a Willis team...
The attitude on the side line is way better, they play faster and are where they are supposed to be.
Let's be real, we lost by 10 to a veteran top 20 team, with a first year coaching staff and a crap ton of unknowns...
TK (our best receiver was out, not hurt, so I can only Imagine it was a discipline out)
I saw an Oline that is trying to get confidence, an undersized Dline that held their own.
Was it perfect? No, not even close, but they have improved drastically.
Willis would have lost by 40...
