GDT: @ Oklahoma State (8/31/24)

[JacksFan80]

Secondary is getting beat every time down the field. Hopefully they get things figured out before next week because UIW has been a great passing team for a few years.

Why in the world would you call that fake punt??!

I commented to Zimmer on Xitter that we've entered the "what the hell, let's try it" phase of the game.

The positive from this is this is by far the best team we’ll play all year, and as noted previously might be the best FBS team we’ve ever played. That Cowboy O-Line is ridiculously good and Gordon is the best RB in CFB. Cam Miller might be better than Bowman but that’s about the only player I can think of who would be better than anyone on Oklahoma State.

Wish we would’ve been like USD and scheduled a cupcake for the first game to work the kinks out.

Cam Miller is in no way, shape or form better than Bowman.

The fake punt was pretty foolish. Might as well just go for it before trying to have the punter complete a pass. That just put the play on tape so teams know about it the rest of the season.

Okie State is obviously good, but there's plenty to work on in the next week. Plenty.

Bring in Chase. These are snaps that will be meaningful for him.

[JacksFan80]

Why haven’t we been doing that all game? Offense is showing some promise at least. Maybe it’ll be like 2018 again where we have to score 50 points every game.

[filbert]

Our running game has looked decent. Gronowski's been inconsistent. Just as I type that, he hits Wilde in stride for a long TD (with a great cut by Wilde).

[Kemo]

Positive: Griffin Wilde is a monster in the making.

Just keep in mind that OSU's offense is really quite good. Gordon is a legit Heisman candidate.

The defense will right the ship. The Cowboys' offense was never going to be mistaken for the Hawkeyes' the Jacks played more closely a couple years ago

Spalding just misses an INT, but brings up an OSU punt.

[filbert]

(Thinking: They don't really need to run with Gronowski again, do they?)

They run with Gronowski.

I'm personally less concerned about the defense as a whole unit - the D-line is the big question mark. Bowman has had all day to throw to big, talented receivers. Tha OSU O line might be very, very good and I hope that is the case. We'll have to wait to see what we have there.

The offense has been shakey and Mark hasn't been very sharp. The OSU defense, while returning most starters, wasn't great. So it's disappointing the ineffectiveness of the offense.

But the sky isn't falling. This probably isn't a very good measuring stick game or at least I hope it isn't.

[JacksFan80]

Gronowski looks great one drive and follows it up with that. So many opportunities to make this game competitive, need to take advantage of them. The positive is that receivers are getting great separation so hopefully that can continue against FCS defenses.

It's an excellent measuring stick--we probably aren't going to win the Big XII this year!

[Kemo]

Love Mark, but he didn't help his draft stock with this game. Way too many missed throws and reads.
