At least with this game downtown, Fred's Uber ride home, since he is probably drunk will only cost him like $16.52

Didn't you read the sign? Fred drinks responsibly to avoid being a knucklehead in the stands. He's probably good to drive home.

LOL....that review process makes the Ref look like he is trying to take a family photo with a 50 person family.....all the technology in the world and they take a tripod stand out on the field

Uninspiring. Ball St is decent- but not close to B1G caliber. Inability to run inside, dumb penalties, poor tackling, lack of a pass rush.....ugh, not a very auspicious start. Penix definitely has potential.

A win is a win. First game of the season.  Rust, jitters, etc. Definitely underwhelmed but I finally have confidence in the coordinators we have on staff to make sure miscues are corrected. 

Impressed with Penix poise. Disappointed with Marcelino's lack of focus. Looking forward to next week!!!!

I see plenty to criticize. Not much to praise. 

Cons:

No running game other than Penix. This will doom them in 7 out of the next 11 games. 

Incredibly poor tackling.

The O line doesn't block well at all.

Very, very poor third-down defense all day long. 

Poor zone coverage on the passing game. 

Receivers drop way too many. 

Deboer went way too conservative way too soon and it really cost them. 

I could go on. 

Pros:

Penix can run.

Hendershot is a player. 

Justus is great.
