There are a few teams in the MAC today who would be happy to trade places with them.

Yes, there is room for improvement and when the team gets together tomorrow to review the game film, there are going to be a lot of asses chewed. That's how teams grow and get better. Learn from their mistakes, gain experience, and look to your next opponent.

Personally, I'm not particularly upset that EKU had all those yards. They were forced to play from a long field, so even when they didn't score or were held to a field goal, they added on a lot of yards. The Eagles generally played from a short field. So the yards don't necessarily reflect the effectiveness of the offense. Yes, after all the hype I was disappointed by the Defense's performance, as I am sure they were. But I still believe the talent on that D is better than last year, and believe we will see that come through as the season goes on.

What matters most in my mind is what the scoreboard says at 00:00. There is nothing wrong with winning ugly.

The Eagles are 1-0.
