for the "we're back" (just like in Poltergeist) as EweTay leads and controls BG 14-0 with 3 to go in the first.

Honestly they are looking REALLY rough. Their Oline seems to be struggling and has only been able to hold up because of flagrant holding on pretty much every play, their secondary has gotten away with at least 3 obvious pass interferences and more flagrant holding, and their QB/WR timing seems pretty off. Obvious the timing issue can get sorted with more practices and games, but the obvious Oline issues and secondary issues should be major points of concern for any UT fan.

They play like that the rest of the season and Alabama, Georgia, and Florida will mop the field with them.

Their QB seems to have a good strong arm, though inaccurate on longer throws. He had several receivers drop good passes. Apparently, he doesn’t see the field especially well and makes poor choices on occasion.
They made some good adjustments to what BG was doing, as Jordan Rodgers pointed out in the broadcast.
The coaching might, unfortunately, be more competent than what they have had lately and they have some player potential to build on. I’m concerned that they might figure it out this time.
OTOH, the new head coach looked like some unshaven, disheveled slob that just wandered in off the street! But, way to fit in with the fan base, I guess!

Their HC is a grown up version of Bobby Hill.

I saw on twitter, fellow MAC mid-major Ohio University hung 66 on BGSU in 3 quarters last full season.

And almost 50 both of the times before that. The Sagrin ratings show that if ETSU played BGSU, it would be around a pick 'em. Tennessee Tech who got destroyed by Samford College last night plays uut this season and is ranked far worse than even BGSU.
