Grades considering the level of opponent:
OL - B- pass pro. JMar got some heat, but he usually had enough time to throw. D- for run blocking, or lack thereof.
QB - B. Missed a key throw or 2. Made at least one good throw on the run. Distributed the ball well as a whole, which will be more important than we realize at present.
WR - B. Texas put a lot of effort into covering Hardy and made him invisible. New and younger receivers performed better than expected. Given our multiple weapons, our passing game will pressure most Defenses we play.
RBs - Incomplete. It's just not fair to grade these guys given the lack of run blocking and playcalling. The exception is "Butterfingers" Henderson, who continues to show why he doesn't play more.
DL - C. Hard to tell much due to the scheme last night. They sure didn't do anything special, though.
LBs - C+. Overall, not great, nor bad.
DBs - C-. Very disappointing. Texas just picked their way down the field. May have been due to scheme. We'll know soon enough in the next few weeks.
Special teams - D. Other than kicking, was a C - nothing terribly good or bad happened outside of kicking. Smoke still needs to learn, and I'm not sold on him as KR. Kicking was obviously a big, fat "F".
What do y'all have?
