<p>First Q undone by 3 holding penalties and a false start. I like what I see from our RBs and O line. D looks very solid.</p>

WIM, are you seeing something on TV? We have 49 yards rushing in a quarter against a decent front seven. Sloppy? Sure. Those two holds and a false start hurt, but I think they’ve done well.
Punting from the 34 into the end zone. Nice 14 yard net punt.

I get it was fourth and ten, but it would have been a 51 yard field goal with very little wind. Toner could have made it.

The worst part is that the punter punted it seven yards deep in the end zone for a net 14 yard punt. That's not good, not good at all, and I hope Shaw doesn't punt inside the 40 again this season. He could have at least tried for a field goal.

<p>If you have confidence in your defense, then you should go for it and not worry about field position...</p>

Agreed. Defense did it’s thing despite giving up a first down. Should have gone for the field goal. Toner can make it from 51.

I don’t think we’ve run a play with a fullback yet.

<p>LOVE that play call for the TD!</p><p><br></p><p>Play action crossing route behind the LOS, so there is no OPI, allowing Parkinson to pick the Safety without penalty.</p>
