Dang, we look good. That is a good uni combo.

Yeah I'm a big fan of those new throwbacks and orange, orange, black looks really good.

That's a bad drop by Jaden Bray. That's a 48-yard touchdown if he catches it.

That was a hard landing for Stribling. He was able to get up and walk on his own, so maybe just the breath knocked out of him?

Other than the defensive holding call on Korie Black, this has been a fairly decent start for the Pokes. Now, let's see if they can keep it up.

Bowman's first drive - no running plays. Second drive - one run for 4 yards, and two incomplete passes.

This is a less-than-ideal start for the Pokes' offense.

They've got to figure something out because they're very predictable.

Both sides needs to get it figured out here because this is going to be a long night otherwise. The offense can't get anything moving after that drop by Bray and not running the ball as certainly hurt things and the defense seems to be a little lax right now.

Anybody else having video issues?

Time of possession? Sheesh.

USA dominates Pokes on both sides of the ball in the first quarter. Promising first drive with a dropped pass that would have been a TD, then all USA since. We had 33 yards of offense in the first quarter.

Yes on the video issues. I'm shutting down every open app I can to see if it helps

Not a very stellar 1st quarter. I SURE hope the Pokes wake up and get rolling. O and D

Time for Bowman to sit down, get Gundy in the game

What a HORRIBLE way to start the second quarter. This is going to be a long, long night.

Tackling. Again an issue.

Can we now move to a 2 qb max rotation.

Tom Dirato and I talked on our pregame show how Gunnar should've gotten the start. Yes, Jaden Bray had a bad drop early on, but that isn't the reason they've struggled moving forward. Offense seems lost and the defense seems uninterested.

This whole 'limited playbook thing and limited reps because we have three quarterbacks thing 'is going to jump up and bite us tonight.

Not just tackling.... Everything is an issue!! I feel like i'm watching Georgia play SWOSU. This is terrible!

Massive completion and first down there from Bowman to Shettron called back by a hold. Bad mistake.

Need to stop trying to just arm tackle or it is going to be a looong game.

This isn't a "limited playbook", it's the old offense again. I'm getting a horrible feeling there IS no new offense.

The defense absolutely, positively HAS to get off the field here with a stop.

Did anyone see Bowman's footwork on the pick? Horrific.

One more TD by USA in the first half and we could be toast. We'd have to pitch a shutout on defense and score nearly 30 points in the second half. We have no room for error left.

EVERY single position group has underperformed expectations.

OK - Gunner gets opening warmup drive out of the way. Unfortunately it's almost halftime.

Well, maybe not kickers.

And just as I type this we rip off a massive 27yd punt.

Need another defensive stop bad to get out of the 1st half.
