Thanks houstoncat for the video. Didn't see much I liked but a win is a win, right...

Not sure the game was anything like we expected. O line did not dominate like we thought it would but passing was working. Score looked impressive but D better play better against UIW or it will be a long night.

It was an odd game. In the 3rd quarter PV ran 30 plays and ACU ran 9. Yet ACU scored 14 points and PV never scored. I think the defensive “problems” were because we scored so fast that the D was on the field for twice as many plays. Yes, I agree. The defense looked sloppy. But they were on the field something like 40 minutes on a hot humid night. Yet they only gave up 7 points until garbage time in the 4th. The D may have actually been better than the stats made it seem.
Hard to tell since my live stats froze in the beginning of the 4th and never came back. It appears that backups played the whole 4th quarter.

I can add more later, but being there and watching the game, I can confirm most of your observations. A win is a win and the score is impressive. The score doesn't reflect our play accurately though. We got lucky a couple of times and they made some key mistakes. Our pass blocking was decent, but our run blocking was pretty bad. The same for our DL play. Our defense didn't look like last week in general at all and the tackling was horrific. They ran the ball pretty easily on us most of the night. For now, I am very happy to be 2-0 and have the wins look dominant. If we don't fix some things though, we will struggle with tougher competition, starting with UIW next week. I will leave it with a congrats to our receivers. They did have an amazing night!

The defense looked as though it wore down and that’s understandable. It was very hot at the kickoff. Prairie View had good quickness and strength at the skill positions. There’s a lot to clean up.
I’d loved seeing the offense get on track with deeper routes. And we won a few plays at WR. All of that is a welcome development.
PV was ready for our O-line. The battle at the line of scrimmage was even or won by PV all night.
The competition will get better, but for now, we can be happy with being 2-0. The national pollsters have to keep paying attention.

It appears that backups played the whole 4th quarter. To some degree you are correct. It was hot, humid and miserable. The defense was out on the field a lot because we couldn't sustain drives. Still, the line mistakes and tackling issues were more than that. I still say kudos for the win. We did what we needed to and took advantage of some key mistakes by them. Right now we need to focus on UIW because they will be everything we can handle.

One final thing I wanted to note was the quality of PV's stadium. I was very impressed with their facility. Their stadium is every bit as nice as ACU's in total. Our video board is newer and better and the ribion boards are great. Their stadium is certainly larger though, with more chair back seats, better visitor side, a larger press box and the endzone complex alteady done that we are fun raising for.
Curious what others who were there thought of their stadium.

Did I miss something? Where was Rovaughn Banks yesterday? He did not play and he was not in the pic after the game with Coach Badon.

It didn't disappoint. Their band was awesome. I would kill for a band like that...

Curious what others who were there thought of their stadium. They have spent tens of millions on this facility (I assume taxpayer money) since we were there several years ago. Very nice facility. Total waste of money. Would be totally shocked if it ever will be even close to half full. The size of the PV crowd last night for an opener was a joke. Totally embarrassing for them I would think. I would bet that there were 4A high school games with bigger crowds Friday night. ACU had a pretty good turnout, especially considering the awful heat. 1st quarter in the sun was terrible.

I was told by two different parents that RoVaughn Banks was dismissed from the team. Assuming that is true.
