I know the backup defense is in but I expected them to stop LC from scoring

It is the mismatch I thought it would be but not happy about the 4 penalties in a row on the defense. And our pass defense still doesn't look great.

It’s great to see Stafford get a TD.

Awesome to see the boys post a convincing W, which I admit, was a much better performance than I was expecting. Hard to believe too that neither team forced a turnover.
Down the road, UTPB won its eighth straight tonight after putting 42 on West Texas.

Great win and true dominance but we don't have much pass rush, and there is no excuse for the penalties. The game was fun to watch because of the remarkably accurate passing of Earle and good routes, but for LC to be able to push our line around was a little worrisome. Not sure we know how to sack the passer. The score was ACU 62, LC one extra point, referees six points for LC. Penalties were for more yards than LC could muster on their TD.

It was a much better night. We need to clean up our penalties and continue to work on our pass defense. It was good to see our offense have a chance to open up, but our OL has to improve before conference play. LC got too much pressure on our QB compared to our DL. UTPB won't be as easy, but I think they will give us a hint at what the rest of the season will look like. I give credit to LC's OL. They had some decent blocking and created some holes, as well as protected their QB for most of the night. The weather was much better than expected and the crowd wasn't too bad either.

Offensive and defensive lines are both a concern. Very little pass rush by our defensive line and not a lot of push by our offensive line on run plays. Earle looked great which was nice to see.

As far as our pass rush goes, we played a base 4-3 all night. No blitzes, no stunts, not much edge rush. At one point in the 3rd quarter, we had 4 freshmen D-linemen on the field and a freshman middle linebacker.
I thought the OL pretty much controlled the game. The sack was not the OL, it was a middle screen that the defense recognized and got in the middle of. So nobody blocked the DL. Plus, we went 3-deep on the OL. I saw some pretty good play from the subs.
