Quick Thoughts - Army-UConn game

I don't think anyone (on the staff) is happy with the offensive line play but I imagine they will be a bit more diplomatic in how they deal with the kids than P-GDL were.

At the moment wins are more important than style points. One thing that sticks out from yesterday is that Army had ~ 260 yards total offense and two plays (both of which could easily have been stopped) accounted for half of that. Those two plays and a turnover also was all of Army's scoring. We aren't yet ready to compete with programs that have their sights set on the college football playoff but I think we now have reason to believe that the possibility of competing with those teams a few years down the road is not merely a pipe dream.

Next year may not be a pipe dream and the year after, look out---- if we are healthy. A lot to work with here. This staff is recruiting very well with lots of new guys contributing right away.

A lot of positives so far especially at the quarterback position. Noel Thomas is exciting to watch and Beals looks he could a great speed receiver. Obi Melifonwu play continues to mystifies most fans. He did make some great one on one tackles out there but again his pass coverage is not very strong. Nonetheless, we got the two wins we had to get and now we need to find 4 more wins our there to go bowling. Baby steps, but we are moving in the right direction.
