First thing I want to say is

Be glad Clem doesn't play UNC this season. They are a very dirty team. The block on Clowney wasn't nearly the worst one. There was a hit on Vic Hampton when he was on the ground that was helmet to helmet. He laid on the ground through the commercial break after the hit. I think he's going to be ok but really changed the feeling of the game for me. There was no flag and the kid that made the hit should be suspended for the next game. Plain and simple.

Besides that I'm happy with the win. I saw some things that made me very happy. Don't get me wrong, we had some sloppy things happen on offense and defense. The kind of stuff you expect in the season opener. Clowney didn't play full speed every play. Took plays off like he's done in the past. However, when he does go full speed you can see why he is so highly touted. Nearly every play he blows by the blockers but if the play isn't to his side you often see him standing and watching the play. I would have liked to see him run to the ball more. Either way, it will interesting to see what he does next week against UGA. May be he was held back? I sure hope so.

The biggest positive I took from the game was the RBs. Mike Davis is going to be really good this season. I was shocked at the speed he had on the 70 something yd run he had. I didn't expect that kind of gamebreaking speed. Not just that, he really pushes after first contact. More than once he pushed for 1, 2 or 3 more yds after getting hit. Brandon Wilds looked equally as impressive at times. Both RBs just push and push after getting hit to gain extra yds. Hope we will see the same against UGA next week.

I think the only pass Dylan Thompson attempted was TD to Kane Whitehurst in the first half. That made me pretty happy lol.

Overall I am happy. It's a win and I have seen many more season openers against less talented teams that we have done much worse against. I think we did ok.

By the way, Todd Ellis is an idiot lol.
