So maybe the D isn’t as good as everyone thought? Morehead with a ton of yardage. And THREE targeting ejections! I didn’t see Wise’s, the second was BS (runner lowered his head). But if I was the DC I’d have had Miller out of the game before the refs called it. Just my opinion. We should win, but certainly not the beat down we put on this team last year.

Much much better in second half. And big shocker in Cullowhee. Kerwin can coach. And recruit. And he could play QB too.

Agreed. 2nd half was way better.
Random thoughts:
We play better when we play fast. Peevy just looks different when we are in tempo. I don't know if it's because he thinks about it less or what, but he just looks more comfortable when we are going with the sprint.
We can't cover. And it doesn't make a lot of sense. These are the same guys from last year and I thought the covered great last season. Just kinda a head scratcher.
Finally, we have got to clean up the DAP's, as FUBeAR calls them. So many Dumb Ass Penalties. We had 10 penalties for 103 yards. TEN! That is awful.
I feel like we've been pretty good against the "Scheduled" run. Not so good on QB scrambling or getting pressure on the QB, which is what I think makes the coverage that much harder. But we definitely have got to button stuff up on defense and play more disciplined.
Lance's targeting was definitely targeting. He's just got to know better. The 2nd one was tough because the guy did drop his head WAY down and our guy was just going for his thighs. Not sure what the defender is supposed to do there.

Bears look really good up front on both sides of the ball. Can always improve, but both lines seem solid right now. Not perfect, but solid.
Seeing some flashes of what we need to see out of the ‘skill’ guys on O and think these big young TE’s can be difference-makers in multiple ways. Just gonna have to put these ‘flashes’ together to consistently light the way.
Special Teams look pretty good. #1 is a nightmare for opponents. Still watch MU punt while covering FUBeAR’s eyes and peeking out. Little things slowing down the get off worry FUBeAR.
Back-end on D still needs to find their way. “Exhibition Season” is over. Talent is abundantly present. Just gotta play a wee bit better and a whole lot smarter. They can do it!
Next one is a tough one for FUBeAR…but - at the end of this “Exhibition Season,” FUBeAR sees no reason this Mercer Team cannot compete for the SoCon Championship and earn a Playoff bid.
