Things we learned: Week 1

[Cartierfor3]

Fumbles suck.

 The O-line sucked but got it together in time for what will be known as "The Drive" to future generations. 

I still believe in both Browns being NFL talent, I'm ok with Bill holding back on Bryce's carries if he puts it on the ground to make a point.

Lockett will return 3 kicks for TDs this season.

 I never bought in to a 9 win season anyway.

Those still on the Snyder bandwagon: Opening his 20th season as a head coach and winning 10-7 over a middle of the road lower division school, with a team that was missing their #1 QB and WR, at home, is completely pathetic.

[BleedingPurple7]

Arthur is the real deal. Bryce is not

Oline looked on par with Prince's teams

Klein is no Coffman

Defense as a whole looked decent.

I'm going to buy Rev Honey today

I fracking hate our fans so much. 

Do you think that if he was half as good as he was touted to be, he'd be sharing snaps? The fact that he's not a clear cut starter tells me what I need to know. I'm not saying he won't be a good back, but barring injury to Hubert I don't believe Bryce will be leading this team in rushing this season.

Maybe it's the fact that he's a lazy pos and didn't start working hard until camp, where as the other running backs worked hard since the bowl game. If you think Hubert is going to have the most carries on this team at the end of the season then you're clearly mistaken.

Maybe. Snyder gave us coachspeak the entire offseason about how the RBs were rather even and the job was still up in the air. As usual, I didn't look too much into this because he could be revealing that for a multitude of reasons. However, coming into last night's game, I figured we would have someone who would the majority of the carries, and then another RB take the rest. I don't think he's trying to "dog house" Bryce at this point. I believe Snyder is giving the spot to whoever is doing the best, and right now that is apparently Hubert. I'm not saying Bryce isn't the real deal because he carried the ball 3 times and fumbled once, I say it because if he was, I believe he would be getting all the snaps.

Bryce is in the doghouse actually.

[BleedingPurple7]

I'm well aware he was. I don't think he still is

Games like these happen sometimes.  To pretend that we're the only program that's ever come close to having an embarrassing loss is a little ridiculous.

If we continue to be as bad as we were last night, then I'll agree that it's time for us to write this team off, but until then, I think the meltdown is probably a bit premature.

[Lynchmobrules]

I'm well aware he was. I don't think he still is

He is. He is closer to being out than he was but he is still in there.

Have some inside info you'd like to share hmmmmm?

All I was told is that he is still in the dog house when I asked if he was going to get plenty of carries.  I was then told that it "will change" soon (don't know how soon though).

[doom]

We would have had 2 less turnovers if our center could just snap the damn ball.

...with a team that was missing their #1 QB and WR...

THIS.

Both D_Scott AND Cassidy intimated in multiple tweets about how this would lead to a big day for KSU.

The defense did have a big day.  Would've been a shutout had Bryce not fumbled.

The highly remembered Bishop and Ohio say hi!

[Dr Rick Daris]

i'm just pissed about how god awful horrible the special teams looked. can't say i'm surprised though given the fact that the person who was hired to coach them had zero previous experience as a coach at any level whatsoever.

[Dr Rick Daris]

wait a minute. i just realized the head coach has the same last name as the new special teams coach. they aren't related are they?

[Dr Rick Daris]

well eff me. they are related. the new special teams coach is the head coaches son of all god damned things. he also has never coached at any level before. ever. i guess i shouldn't be surprised that our special teams got absolutely owned. i bet whoever coaches special teams for eku isn't in the mid forties trying to be a coach for the first time in their life. bet he has actually coached for a year or two somewhere before this season. oh well. maybe this new special teams coach can "grow" into the position and five years or so down the road we'll have us a pretty decent special teams coach. i guess it could work.

Maybe his Dad isn't giving him the good players to coach on special teams.  Maybe this LHC Bill Snyder guy is the kind of guy who puts the poop players on special teams?

maybe he's trying to coach his son up. give him bad players to make him work harder. want it more.

[Dr Rick Daris]

what's that you say? you want to put your forty one year old son who has never coached at any level before on staff? well go right ahead. i'm sure this will work out well.

Whoa, wait a minute...I was WAY off base.  It seems that the dad "revolutionized" special teams play years ago by playing his BEST players on special teams.  Hmmmm, welpl, that's not the answer....

Actually i believe that was there starting QB according to Wyatt..

[Gooch]

That was their 3rd string QB and their #1 WR was also out.

[Dr Rick Daris]

[chum1]

Sean also used to be a punter for KSU.

At some schools, haven't they had like foreigners (non americans) come in and be kickers...dudes who literally didn't know anything about American football?
