Really only have one thing to say

[Dude65]

This place is a helluva lot calmer than OBs.  An entire first page of nothing but bitching; fire this guy, fire that guy, our _____ sucks, we suck, etc., etc., etc.

Thanks guys & gals for remaining somewhat calm, even after a disappointing loss.  This is going to be an up and down season, and until Strong gets his fingerprints on this team/recruiting/culture, there's going to be some rough sailing. 

Just want y'all to know that I really appreciate the banter here, and especially the civility.

That's a big part of why I left from there

I really thought you were going Major League on us. . .

OB isn't even calm after a win. 

I can only imagine the dialogue right now about Watson. I would laugh if we brought back Greg Davis as a consultant or position coach of some sort. OB and Shaggy would literally explode.  

I'm no longer a member of OB, but if I were I would defend Watson. The growth I've seen from Tyrone Swoops from the spring game when it looked like he didn't have any confidence to last night has been remarkable. When you factor in the fact that he's working with an inexperienced OL and no game breakers on the offense makes it even more impressive. Also factor that he wasn't playing last night against Rice or Kansas. UCLA is a well coached talented team.

Swoops deserves credit for his play and improvement, but Watson deserves credit also. I can see why Teddy Bridgewater has praised Watson and NFL scouts said Bridgewater was the best prepared QB in the draft last year.

Watson's play calling and the way he runs a offense, is still a unknown to me. I waiting to see his offense with an experienced QB, OL and some game breakers at RB and WR. The good news is that our biggest problems are at QB and OL and in Watson and Wickline we have two good coaches and teachers.

Was also impressed with Swoopes improvement from the prior game. Would like to see him operate with an experienced line and a full complement of receivers (experienced WRs that is). No INts, no forced throws in to coverage; did keep the ball too long at times, and could have tossed the ball out of bounds on the periphery to avoid the few yard loss plays on roll outs. Happy for him to have a good game and look forward to more progress this year. The OL should get better with more game time together as well. Making lemonade with the lemons we have been given!

It takes time to do a rebuild. You dont fix a blown engine just by swapping out spark plugs.

I liked that we slowed the offensive pace, I think part of the problem in the BYU game was we ran a hurry up offense and would go three and out, giving our defense very little rest, against UCLA, we slowed it down a bit. We just need our defensive line to play to their potential.
