Offense definitely showed life. Great creativity in the gameplan from Meacham on what was a short/chaotic week. Once the trickery ran out though the offense mostly stalled. Zane was mediocre. 23-41 is not what you are wanting, and probably should have been picked a couple times. He showed some flashes with his arm and legs, but that’s similar to Rangel and Smith the last couple years. I get these are his first starts but being his 3rd year in the program and still playing like a true freshman concerns me.
The defense is trash. I thought Grantham was a ok hire, but its turned out to be awful. He had many years of coordinatoring defenses in the SEC, but what I hadn’t really considered is the offenses he was seeing were completely different than what he was going against now. He looks absolutely lost.
